There are a dozens of different options you could consider when hunting down the perfect venue to have your child's birthday...and, as a Melbourne magician, I've seen them all!

I've performed everywhere from parks to parliament houses, from homes to horse stables. If you can think of a space, I've entertained there.

So let me take you through the Pros and Cons of some of the more popular options.

At Home

Pros

You have the home ground advantage, you don't have far to travel and everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Cons

So. Much. Cleaning. Also, did someone say 'broken vase?' Plus, If your house is small, you'll need to limit the numbers.

Verdict

If you don't mind a little cleaning, it's the place where childhood memories are made.

Cons

You can't control the weather plus dirt, allergies and bee stings are unavoidable. It can also be difficult keeping track of the kids.

Restaurants

Pros

There is no denying resturants can have great food and no cleaning.

Cons

Unless they have a function room, most restaurants can't handle kid's party chaos. You'll probably not have room for any extra entertainment either. And then there is the price...

Verdict

Avoid restuarants unless they have a separate function room.

Community Centres and Halls

Pros

Most halls have a fenced off play equipment and a full kitchen with plenty of space to invite as many guests as you like. Cleaning is minimal and the price is cheap.
