#7: Aloha Falls Miniature Golf
Hawaiian-themed Aloha Falls has mini-golf, the 80s, and 90s arcade games, ping-pong, and air hockey, as well as a bar and café. Open from spring to fall, this fun-filled activity center offers two miniature golf courses; an easy round on the Beach Course, or something more challenging on the Waterfall Course.
With ten flat-screen TVs devoted to classic console games, kids can also play popular video games. There are over 100 games to choose from, and if they’re not the gaming type, they can always play pool, ping-pong, or air hockey. Aloha Falls is best enjoyed by kids six years old and up.
#6: Lambs Farm

Visiting farmyard animals, playing with pets, learning in the discovery center, and feeding animals makes Lambs Farm an excellent birthday celebration place in Libertyville. Parents can either rent the pavilion space and provide party snacks, or they can select delicious food options prepared by the Magnolia Café & Bakery.
Lambs farm is particularly special because it employs adults with developmental disabilities. Suitable for kids two to 12-years-old, the 70-acre farm has become a beloved birthday venue. Be warned; their party slots fill up quickly.
#5: Ultimate Ninjas
Recommended for kids ages seven and up, Ultimate Ninja’s 2-hour private birthday parties offer a unique and active celebration. Kids get access to their obstacle course, dodgeball court, and warped wall for 80 minutes, followed by 40 minutes in their own decorated party room.
Many of the obstacle courses and equipment are the same as those seen on NBC’s hit show, American Ninja Warrior. You can also add the challenge party package, at no additional cost, that comes with a structured activity plan. Find out more here.
