  1. Green mountain gymnastics in Williston also does great birthday parties. Their freestyle training center with multiple trampolines might do them as well.

  2. We had my 3 year old son’s birthday party at Fusion 802 dance studio last month. Miss Nikki (the studio owner) put on an amazing, active, and creative party for my son and his toddler and preschool age guests! I’m excited that Skateland has opened in Essex, it gives another great indoor party location. Both of my kids have winter birthdays, so we are always looking for new and fun ideas.
