Boston has 10 stand-out kids' birthday venues on this list. Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Danvers keeps active kids bouncing from $280, Franklin Park Zoo pairs a private pavilion with animal-themed decor from $450, and Puppet Showplace Theater turns a professional puppet show into a birthday for $600 and 20 guests. Packages here range from $28 a child at Breezy Picnic Grounds to $1,000+ for a full historic-estate buyout at Loring Greenough House.
Most of these venues focus on their own activity rather than a live performer, so add a Yombu Boston entertainer separately — vetted rates run $175–245/hr for balloon art and $245–300/hr for a costumed character, easy to layer onto any package above.
