Birthday Party Venues-Party Favor Ideas-Delicious Cakes-
Great Food and Entertainment-
It’s all Here!
For the warm weather months, try:
Sonoma Plaza - You can’t beat the plaza! Lots of trees, picnic benches and great kids play areas. The one caveat is that you can not reserve a table so you will need to go early to claim your tables and a good spot in the square.
Bartholomew Park - There is a lovely gazebo area and lots of picnic spots on the 400 acre property. Make sure to let the winery know in advance if you have more than just a couple of kids.
Sonoma Train Town -I had my kids 2nd birthday party here. Each guest rides the train and then the carousel and airplanes. They have tables for lunch and cake. Definitely one of our favorite parties!
Maxwell Fun Center & Golf Land (19171 Sonoma Hwy 707-996-3616)-This is a great place to play miniature golf and play arcade games after. We have been to several birthday parties here and my kids never want to leave! You can save your arcade tickets too!
Morton’s Warm Springs-You can reserve a spot and bring in your own food. Reservation sites include picnic tables, barbeques, sinks, running water and electricity. Capacity for guests per site is from 15 – 400 people. Included in your reservation is full use of the 3 warm mineral swimming pools and use of all sports recreation fields with equipment.
Cornerstone- You can rent the barn which is in the middle of this amazing art center/garden. Prices start at $500 and can accommodate up to 150. Check out this blog, A Savvy Event, for a gorgeous first birthday party thrown in the barn.
For the cold weather months, try:
Sonoma TaeKwonDo- 2 hour parties for up to 15 kids. Tables, chairs, plates and fun activities are all provided. Just bring a cake and food!
California Martial Arts- who doesn’t love a party involving kicking and jumping!
Sonoma Community Center has several different rooms available for rent depending on the size of your party starting at about $50. Several mom’s from the Sonoma Mother’s club recommend hiring an entertainer.
Here are a few recommendations:
Classroom Safari- They will bring an amazing assortment of wild animals to your home or to a rented location. Fellow Prestwood mom, Kathy Lauchland -Ervin recently had them come to her daughter’s 6th birthday and the kids were in amazement of the lemurs, snakes and exotic birds.
PoPo the Clown-She has been doing birthday parties for 20 years and is the most amazing face painter and entertainer!
Music Together -Ali Weiss is the amazing music teacher recommended by fellow Sonoma Mother’s Club member, Sharon Johnston. She will do a 45 minute music class in your home or rented location. Ali teaches interactive music classes for children and she has come to Sonoma for private birthday parties.
