5 Best Birthday Party Places for Young Boys in Tucson

My favorite kind of birthday party is an active ones – where the kids can run around like crazy and come home exhausted. Early bedtime is my reward for taking them. :-)

Luckily, Tucson offers plenty of birthday party facilities that fit the bill.

1. Pump It Up – 3248 N. Freeway Industrial Loop

• Party packages are 1 1/2 or 2 hours and include private play time in two separate arenas.
• Each arena has jumping castles, inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and more.
• Parties end in a private party room with time for cake, ice cream, pizza, and presents.
• Party hosts take care of set up, serving any food, and clean-up.
• Parties are available all week.
• Special themed parties are also available (Glow party, Superhero training camp, and Pirate Quest).

Pros – The party spaces are completely private during birthday parties – the general public will not be jumping with you. Discounts are available during the week.

Cons – The parties stick to a set schedule, which may lead to too much time for cake and presents…when the kids might just want to keep jumping. You may only bring cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and dry snacks. All other food options, including ice cream, must be ordered through Pump It Up.

Cost – Party packages range from $129-$249.

2. AZ Air Time – 3931 W. Costco Drive, Marana

Pros – One of the more unique birthday options in Tucson.
