HELP! Good venues for a 5 year old's Birthday Party in Washington area?

[emmy3009]

Hope someone can help. DD will be 5 years old in early October, and we've been let down by the venue we booked for her Birthday party.

We're looking for somewhere in / near Washington which can accommodate 20-35 kids from 4- 6 years old. We won't know exact numbers until term begins and we send the invites out, it's her Reception Year at school.

Ideally looking to book somewhere from 1.30 -4 .30 p.m. We have an entertainer booked ( Tony Junior ) from 2-3.30 and were looking to welcome the kids, let Tony set up for his show, and then feed the mini hordes after that.

We don't mind using the venue's catering if they prefer to do it that way... or we're equally as happy to arrange outside catering to bring in the food. 99% of the parents/ kids live in Washington so that would be ideal to have it there.

Any advice would be very gratefully received......

Thank you.
