All of your child’s birthdays are special, but there is something particularly bittersweet about a fourth birthday. This is the last year your little one will be a preschooler. Soon, there will be classrooms, dating, driving… but before you get ahead of yourself, focus on the present. Celebrate this milestone with a party at a Houston venue that is just like your child: unique, fun and unforgettable.
The Antique Firehouse
If your preschooler drops everything at the sound of a siren and your living room is littered with red ladder trucks, the Antique Firehouse may be the ideal birthday party venue. Party packages include use of the party area, dressing up as firefighters and climbing on the trucks, photos and keepsake gifts. Parties run from under $300 for a “One-Alarm” two-hour party up to almost $400 for a “Three-Alarm” three-hour party, and firetruck rides are available for an additional cost.
