Have a birthday party at an indoor rock climbing gym. Indoor rock climbing is safe, fun, and challenging for everyone. Most indoor gyms do not have an age limit for birthday parties, and staff members are provided to supervise climbing activities for the duration of the party. Each child will experience an extreme rush of achieving great heights and parents get to sit back, take pictures, or enjoy the rush of climbing themselves.   My personal favorite: Upper Limits Rock Climbing Gym in Bloomington, IL.  This gym was rated the #1 place to indoor rock climb by the Discovery Channel International, and was featured for extreme birthday parties by The Pantagraph and The Chicago Tribune. www.upperlimits.com
