OTHER PLACES TO CONSIDER

CHURCHES! Ask your family church if you can host it in their rec room! Most churches have rec rooms, and if you’re an active member of that church, may let you use it for a party! 

RESTAURANTS! Most can accommodate a large party if you call ahead, and allow you to bring your own cake. As long as you’re not running around and disturbing the other diners, restaurants are ideal places for a get together. Please tip your servers well! 

APARTMENT COMPLEX CLUBHOUSES! Many apartment complexes have clubhouses. If you have friends that live in an apartment complex, they may be able to reserve the clubhouse for you.

HOTELS! Book a room with them, and they’ll likely let you use the conference room, or allow you to invite a few friends to play at the pool.

PARKS! Unless you need the pavilion/picnic shelter, you can set up on a picnic table with no reservation required, or lay down some blankets and have a picnic. Take some kites or pick a park with a stream running through it and bring along some sand toys, or a park with a playground for built in fun.

BREWERIES! If it were anywhere other than Asheville, this wouldn’t likely be an option, but several of our local breweries are very family friendly and have open fields and playgrounds or sand boxes for the kids to play in. Similar to restaurants, most can accommodate a large party if you call ahead, and allow you to bring your own cake.
