Get on the truck, gamers! The truck is equipped with a theater that is
stocked with enough consoles for 16 people to play the latest video
games at the same time. Recommended for ages 7 and up, the truck is
more than video games. The GameTruck can be used to transform a
backyard, front yard, or park into a modern laser tag arena. (Their
taggers are able to tag an opponent up to 300 feet away, according to
Erik Maxwell, regional manager for the company.) Parties range in price
from $359 to $379 for 90 minutes to $409 to $429 for two hours. Each
party includes digital invites or downloads, print invitations and a
certified GameCoach to run the event.

Channel your child’s inner Simone Biles by having their birthday party
at Emilia’s Acrobatics & Gymnastics Club in Laurel. The cavernous
17,500-square-foot facility with 36-foot ceilings offers two birthday
party packages for up to 10 children. The DIY party ($200) allows
parents to plan with their own decorations, table settings, goodie
bags, and food. The all-inclusive package ($245) includes table
settings, decorations, goodie bags, two pizzas, and chips and drinks.
Wait service is also included during the food portion of the party. A
50 percent deposit for the party package is due upon booking. The
remaining balance is due the day of the party. The facility hosts
birthday parties every weekend. Each party is broken down into 40
minutes of a selected activity, which can range from slime making to
cupcake decorating, 40 minutes of open gym time, and 40 minutes of
eating time.
With pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, goats, horses, ducks, cows,
rabbits and turkeys to gawk at, this is an animal and outdoor lover’s
dream. Located on a 540-acre historic farm, party packages start at $10
per child up to 12 years old with $4 per adult. Pony rides for children
younger than 6 are an additional $2 per child. The cow train ride is $2
per child and face painting is an additional $1 per child. A $40
deposit is required. Food from home is permitted; the farm also
provides a list of pizza restaurants that deliver to the farm. The farm
sells drinks, ice cream, and snacks. A farm-themed birthday cake or
cupcakes can be ordered from Touche Touchet Bakery.
