Recommendations for 4 year-old party

esweet

I'm looking for ideas for my daughter's 4th birthday party.  I will be inviting a total of 20 kids so I need something that can accommodate all 20 and their parents, and keep everyone busy and happy.  We did a gymnastics party last year and this year so far we have already been to 4 parties at Kiddie Crusoe, so I want to avoid something like that.

I thought of possibly bowling????? What are your thoughts and do you have any other ideas?

(We're in the Towson area, but willing to go towards Timonium, Hunt Valley, and White Marsh area as well).

Pottery painting (Amazing Glaze or Hot Pots)

What about renting a pavilion in a local park that has a swing set/jungle gym?

I was going to suggest Kiddie Crusoe but you said you've been to a lot of parties there already.

Her birthday is May 1st, so we'll be having the party the last weekend in April.

l'd either have it at home/outside or at a park playground.  Chik fila does parties too.  i like Kiddid CRusoe and I cant imagine any 4yo being bored there.

We just booked D1's 3rd birthday at Kids First Swim School.  We went to one in Jan and she's been talking about her pink piggy pizza pool party since then.  They will take up to 30 kids, its for 2 hours; first hour is swimming and second is food and games.

Aiden's having a bounce party this year.  Last year we had a swim party at Kids First which was awesome!
