What did your ds do for their 13th birthday?

Had a Young Driver party with a few friends followed by a trip to McDonalds (we are in London).

Took 3 friends to an Escape Room, followed by pizza and gelato

I took him and a few friends to a local archery place. Was booked as a party so a more interactive session. Back home for supermarket pizzas and chips then they played Mario kart on the switch

Family meal at Nandos.

Thanks everyone. Anyone else?

It was my son's birthday at the back end of last year and we said we'd arrange something with his friends once the weather was better. Initially he thought about taking 1 friend to a zoo keeper for the day/feed an animal experience but he's changed his mind. He's decided to take 2 friends to a local adventure place that also has a little shooting range so they can fire guns at targets. Just need to pin them down to a date next!

Longleat family holiday for 12th
Karting with 5 mates for 13th
Aquapark with 3 mates for 14th

Was longleat Center parcs? Was it good?

which aqua park?

Him and friends went to War Hammer world

He was supposed to be having a Virtual Reality gaming party and then a meal at a Japanese restaurant with a few friends, but the first Covid lockdown started thst week and put paid to it all. I think we had a takeaway, but that was it. The VR place have us a voucher but they went bust so we couldn't even do it after lockdown. He was just happy he didn't have to go to school!

Took two friends donutting at a local dry ski slope and then a meal at Spoons, when they had chosen I paid for it and then went and sat at another table with a book till they were finished, we took a cake and they had some of that and then I dropped the others home.

DS is still 12, but all his friends turned 13 last year. Parties were a mixture of cinema plus meal, go-karting, foot-golf, archery and escape rooms.

Not CP, just a local ish Premier Inn. Longleat was good yes.

The aquapark is a local one to us. I live in Kent and there are at least 4 I can think of within 30 miles drive but we went with Action Watersports in the Romney Marsh. They did all have a fabulous time.

Karting followed by McDonalds.

It was lockdown #3 we had a very cold taskmaster themed party with 4 of his mates in our garden.

family meal and cinema

Had a friend over and they set up in the sitting room and gamed all day, ordered takeaway for dinner

Picnic in our garden in Summer 2020.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. 🙂

Laser Quest

Paintballing is popular with DS and friends
