Ontario Birthday Parties Guide (Updated) | Entertain Kids on a Dime
BIRTHDAY PARTIES ON A DIME
Let’s face it! Birthday parties are expensive. I know from first hand. For those of you on a tighter budget, I have listed different birthday places in Ontario where you can host your child’s birthdays.
Here’s the Catch! Each venue that is listed must accommodate 20 CHILDREN and cost you UNDER $500 with taxes included.
PARTY SAVING TIPS ON LOCATION
**The amounts listed below are to accommodate 20 kids and HST has been included in the fee.
*Please note that prices are subject to change at anytime.
**For Companies that don’t offer the entire package, I have budgeted $50 for cake, and $100 for loot bags ($5 per child).
