you should check with the gov't sports facilities in your area. some mums suggested to me for a christmas party that i book at one of the sports "halls"... supposedly really cheap, and if you book in advance, you shouldn't have any problem getting the day you want.... only thing is that the time may be very limited... maybe 1-2 hours...
 
thanka2, what's your budget for the room rental? and are you thinking of staying in the NT for the party? apparently, there are some clubhouses of residential buildings that are willing to rent out their activity rooms even to non residents. you might want to ring around and check that out around your area.
 
You can try Starbucks. I know they have programs for kids party at affordable price with food and drinks. Check with the store at Tai Po Mega Mall I know they have a kids program next week. What is your party size?

That might be just the ticket! My son loves sports and especially football (soccer). I wonder if we might be able to get sports equipment too? Hmmm...I will check! And cheap is good! Cheap is good! Honestly, a 2-hour party for a 2-year-old is quite enough!

Hmmm....budget....cheap. The cheaper, the better. 500-1000 HKD would be great! I would prefer to stay nearby for the party because I plan to "cater" and plan it myself so I don't want to haul things on public transport too far (we don't have a car). If it's nearby we could take a taxi.

The thing is, where we live--really, there aren't any big highrise apartments with clubhouses--even the big housing estates are all just single-family village houses without clubhouses. Even the closest "town" has maybe one or two housing estates that might have a clubhouse. I don't even know where to start looking as far as renting clubhouses goes.

Do all Starbucks do this or just the one in Tai Po? Tai Po is really far for us from here. I've never heard of Starbucks offering catering? Where would a group of energetic 2-year-olds run around at? The type of children I'm talking about aren't the ones who are going to sit down and quietly munch on birthday cake. What kind of things does Starbucks do with these kids?
 
Hey there. I haven't made any decisions yet. I'm actually thinking because we are expanding our living space of holding a party at our house because we have a roof to our village house that we can use--that is if the weather isn't too cold. My son's birthday falls at the end of November. Last year it was a bit chilly but also sunny and pleasant--the wind was the biggest problem. I think I've recruited a friend to help me make a pretty cake but now I have to think of activities.

Does anyone have any other ideas for activities to do at home for a 2-year-old, active boy's birthday party?
 
I've called LCSD and ask re: renting sports hall or activity rooms but unfortunately they do not allow eating inside, so that's no good for a party then. I even asked if they issue permits to hold a children's party in a park/playground and they dont allow this either. I actually got a friend who has done this for her child's bday and they were asked not to set up the playground for a party (they were just putting up a simple banner and setting up food) as it's for public use.

Im a D-I-Y type of mom and I want to celebrate my child's bday on a budget. I am hoping to find a bare place that I could rent so we'll save money by bringing our own food and set up the place the way we want to.
 
if it is a public facility, then they have no right to ask you to remove a "happy birthday" banner...

for my son's first birthday, we went to the park in Discovery Bay and had a great time. there were probably 40 adults and plenty of kids. we brought down a picnic table and a few chairs, we even hung up a pinata!
