Party Over Here


This past weekend I took my son to a birthday party at Minute Maid Park. Houston's baseball stadium and home to the Houston Astros. I didn't even know you could have birthday parties at the stadium! But leave it to my friend to find the most awesome places for her children's parties.
The party was really NICE! So nice in fact, that most of the adults were saying they were going to have their birthday parties there! We met outside the stadium and our party was escorted by a hostess to one of the box suites with the most incredible view of the field. Once the children finished their personal pan pizzas, drinks and gourmet cookies we headed down to the field.

The kids got to walk around the diamond with strict rules NOT to touch the perfectly manicured turf. They also got to sit in the actual dugout and take pictures and then it was on to the play zone appropriately named Squeeze Play. A two story enclosed play area with slides and things to climb on and run across. There was also as spot where the kids could hit balls of water that came up over a mock version of home plate. My son's favorite thing was racing against this cardboard cut out of one of the players.

I highly recommend Minute Maid Park for a unique party experience even if your child isn't a fan of baseball they are sure to love this place!

Although this was 44 miles from my house one way (!)- what can I say, I only have one nephew- this was cool little party spot. If you live in or around the Katy area I highly recommend having your next children's party at this location.

You get a private "pod" for you and your guests to eat and sing Happy Birthday, birthday cake, balloons, goodie bags and each guest gets a $5.00 gaming card. For your entertainment pleasure they have a Tot Zone, bumper cars, air hockey, video games, bowling and ticket redemption. The play/game area is actually quite small in comparison to Incredible Pizza but the thing that would make me go back is the BUFFET! We're not talking just pizza, salad and dessert. Get ready for this. . .

They had four types of salad greens, eight types of salad dressing, potato salad, pasta salad, fried green beans, mozzarella sticks, fried corn, chicken tenders, broccoli bites, pizza (10 varieties), nacho (with ground meat), four kinds of pasta, marinara and Alfredo sauces, lasagna, bread sticks, Salisbury steak, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, fried chicken, CHEESECAKE, gourmet cookies, applesauce, four types of pudding, fresh fruit, cherry cobbler and peach cobbler (with the most delicious CRUST I've ever tasted!). Not to mention all the soda, lemonade or tea you can drink. Whew! I feel stuffed just talking about it.

Now, I must admit I am NOT a big fan of buffets but the plethora of choices they have and the great quality of the food makes it more than worth the $15 PER person! Did I mention you can eat at the buffet as long as you are in the building?!
