Get Air - South Portland, Maine

A lot of people said head to 'Get Air' in South Portland, in Clark's Pond. I've been to plenty of parties at Get Air including one for a Cans for a Cure fundraiser! They have several different options for a party and they all include some sort of gift and pizza and soda! Get your socks and your jumping ready to go!

Spare Time Entertainment - Portland, Maine

Spare Time Portland came very recommended! Everyone who has had a party here absolutely loved it for the price, the food, and the entertainment. Uh, I love a cheap entertaining place with good food! Each birthday party package comes with pizza and soda, plus a party host! Nice to get a little help to herd the cats!

The Escape Room - Portland, Maine

Facebook/MaineEscapeRoom

An 'escape room' experience is a little different than bowling or a trampoline park. You can bring outside food, but the real action is escaping. Some said that for younger people, this could be challenging. You may want to consider 12 and up. I've done The Escape Room and I was challenged! I'm not very good at it, but no worries - I was with a group that was very good at it. So I just sorta went along for the experience more than the solving.

Fun Flicks Outdoor Movies

FunFlicks.com

Okay, this one...this one is a must! How cool to have a movie in your backyard? The only thing is that the birthday party happens in the dark at night and there's no talking. So I'm thinking ya have a BBQ in the ol' backyard, then break out the movie night with Fun Flicks! They have inflatable screens and LED screens to rent and set up.

STUDIOS TO GO - Rochester, NH

StudiosToGo.com

I spoke with Michael at StudiostoGo since they are based in Rochester, New Hampshire. I wanted to make sure they came to Maine. Oh, they do. In fact, he said for most of the summer he was in Maine more than New Hampshire! These guys have it all, a video truck (like above), foam parties, gel blaster (all the fun of paintball without all the paint!), Nerf wars and inflatable carnival games!

Now all you have to decide is how much fun you want to have!
