Rock Climbing
A rock climbing themed party is the perfect option if you have an adventurous child who is into sports that require lots of brainpower.

Go-Kart
If your child is a go-kart enthusiast, planning an indoor go-kart party is a fun way to celebrate a special birthday. Most indoor kart tracks offer a private room and give you the choice to select other activities, such as laser tag and an arcade where the kids can play various games.
Lego
Lego is the ultimate theme to celebrate a child's birthday party. It's a wonderful choice if you are looking for a way to minimize party activity planning to keep a group of kids entertained.

Bowling
A bowling party is an exciting way to celebrate a special child who loves to stay active while in the company of friends. Plan ahead and reserve a few lanes at your favorite bowling alley that can easily accommodate your guests.

Be sure to make arrangements with the venue to decide on a party package that can be tailored to your needs.

It's a great opportunity for the kids to learn concepts, such as teamwork building and strategic thinking while celebrating their friend's special day.
Pizza Making
Pizza is the beloved food item from every party menu, and kids don't seem to get tired of it. Plan a pizza making session with a group of friends at your house or at your favorite Italian restaurant that offers party packages with a kids' hands-on experience, such as pizza making from beginning to end, including an experienced chef to guide them.
Movie Night
Plan a birthday celebration filled with unlimited popcorn, fun treats and an exciting movie at your house that's perfect for 10 year-olds. If time permits, consider indoor or outdoor games the kids can play together after the movie session.

Ice Skating
Whether your child can or cannot ice skate, an ice skating party offers a great opportunity to learn a new sport regardless of the season. Book your private event with your nearest ice skating rink venue and make sure they can accommodate a group of kids for an epic birthday celebration. For an ice skating party, it's important to remind parents skate rentals will be included and to dress their kids in appropriate clothes that will keep them warm throughout the ice skating experience.
Backyard Games
If your child loves being outdoors, plan the ultimate celebration filled with exciting backyard games that will provide tons of fun and keep the kids engaged. Make a list of backyard games that are not only easy to plan and set up, but also interesting and challenging enough for 10 year olds.

Set up a sundae bar where guests can customize their own ice cream. Set out toppings, such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, maraschino cherries, chocolate covered candies, whipping cream along with other essentials--ice cream scoops, napkins, ice cream cones, bowls, and/or cups. Keep ice cream tubs in the freezer and transfer them to a cooler filled with ice when it's time to serve.
