When it comes to planning your child’s birthday party, it seems like your patience – not to mention your pocketbook – can take a serious hit.

Here’s a great alternative – birthday parties at the YMCA of Greater Brandywine (YMCA GBW)! Scheduling is easy, and our pricing is family friendly.

Here are five more great reasons the Y is your best birthday destination:

1. Mix It Up! You’re not going to find a menu of activities and themed parties as long as the Y’s anywhere else! From ages 1 to 7, your child can have his or her birthday party at the Y every year and never do the same thing twice. No other venue offers so many choices of indoor and outdoor activities!
    
2. Everybody Into the Pool! When it comes to birthday parties, we say, “The wetter, the better!” YMCA GBW pools can provide a great setting for your birthday boy or girl, no matter the season. Most of our branches feature indoor, heated pools available during non-summer months, while several others boast the fun and adventure of outdoor water parks June through August. Don’t have what you want at your branch? No worries! As a YMCA GBW member, you have access to the amenities at all our branches. A separate Water Park membership is required for outdoor parties.
    
3. Game On! Kids into sports? We’ll plan for interactive games like kickball, football, dodgeball or basketball. Let your guests try their moves at a Zumba party or with instruction in the martial art of Tang Soo Do. Just want to play? Pick a moon bounce or indoor playground party. For your little diva, our Princess Fairy Party provides a luxurious spa day. No matter what, our energetic and fun staff will keep kids engaged and entertained. 
    
4. Worry Free – Paper products, utensils, fresh water and cups, table coverings, balloons and invitations are all included in the price of your party! All you have to do is show up with a cake, treats and a birthday crew ready to have fun.
    
5. The Price is Right – One of the benefits of having a Y family membership is reduced prices on all YMCA GBW parties. Not only can your kids have fun on their special day, but you and your family will be living better all year long!
