For 12 kids, most party places in Ottawa cost $261 to $413. A typical one is about $350. Plan on about 2 hours. Most take groups of up to 18 kids. Almost all include a host who runs the party. About a third include food, so ask before you order pizza.
Start with your child's age and how many kids are coming. Those two numbers rule out more places than anything else. Put them in the boxes at the top and the list sorts itself.
Then think about energy. Some kids want to run until they drop, and others would rather make something. Trampoline parks, gymnastics and laser tag suit the runners. Art, cooking and science parties suit the makers.
Book four to six weeks ahead for a Saturday, and earlier if you are inviting the whole class. Weekday parties after school are easier to get and often cost less.
