1st Birthday Party Location

Hi All.  Sorry if this is a common topic.  I tried searching the posts, but the function doesn't seem to work.  My daughter will be 1-year-old in less than 2 weeks.  I want to have a small casual party, with just close friends and family.  Unfortunately, our house won't work for the party.  I had considered having it at a nearby park that has a pool (we actually have two to chose from).  However, I went to check out one of the parks today to see about the picnic table situation and what it really felt like to hang out there in the heat, and I realized that I don't think I can handle the heat, much less put guests through it.  Do you have any suggestions for another location?  Thanks!

What do you consider small?    We invited almost 50 people to Kate's first birthday and it was just immediate family and a few very close friends.  It was ridiculous, but DH has four brothers who all have wives and kids...  Ugh, it adds up fast.

We went to a first birthday party at Heartsong which was fun.  More for the kids though.  I know the Children's Museum does parties, as does Gymboree.  If it's gong to be mainly adults, you might look at reserving the party room of a restaurant.

The search feature on the boards never works! But you can use google. In the search box use

site:thebump.com Austin whatever it is you're looking for

Safari Champ does indoor parties.
