birthday ideas for 11 year old ?? NBR

So my step-daughters 11th birthday is coming up in February.  We would like to do something special for her but my mind is a blank.  We have thought of

1) indoor water park

2) rollerskating

3) bowling

Those are awesome ideas, but I guess I'm looking for something different.... 

TIA

  • What is she into right now? Like hobbies, interests?

  • Just some ideas to maybe get the creative juices flowing; some I remember us doing for my youngest sister.

    -Minute to win it type games. Easy to find ideas online, it's pretty popular now. The games can be challenging or pretty funny. Something easy to do at home.

    -Spa Day. My mother hired an esthetician friend of hers, but you could always put an ad out for an aesthetics student looking to make a buck (they're just kids it doesn't have to be super professional). She came to the house and did facials, nails, that type of thing.

    -One party we had at a local party hall with rock climbing wall, laser tag, that type of thing.

    -If she's artsy, do an art theme party (there's like a million ideas for this on Pinterest). Try to encorporate some drawing or painting games. A girl I know did a party for her kid where they got a bunch of white clothes from the salvation army and let the kids have a "paintball fight". They threw sponges or pompoms or something soaked in paint so it was safer than actual paintball lol.

    -Backyard carnival (or inside, I don't know what type of space you have). Again tons of decore ideas on Pinterest. Make some carnival type games with prizes, serve cotton candy and popcorn treats.

  • Pinterest has great ideas
    Movie parties are fun too
    Tea parties

  • Do you have any local gyms (like for gymnastics).  My cousin is into cheerleading (she is 13) and for Christmas I got her an hour of private tumbling lessons.  I know that gyms have different classes and maybe you can do that for her and some of her friends.
