I am looking for suggestions on a fun party place for a 13 year old girl. Preferable in the N Raleigh or Wake Forest area. Thanks!

How many and what budget? That will be the big thing.

13 is tough age for 'event' birthday parties as the girls are getting a big old for most things like ice skating parties etc etc.

At this age most of my daugther's friends had a slumber party, some had a trip to the movies....some just went to the mall and lunch somewhere.

What does you daughter want?

My daughter, who is now 15, has a friend that has a sleepover at the Embassy Suites near Crabtree every year for her birthday. They have an indoor pool. My daughter loves going. Makes me a bit nervous because I'm sure the girls are wild but the birthday girl's mom is always there.

Amoung my daughter's friends the hotel slumber party seems to have 'aged out' by that age (we haven't had one since age 11 or so)....which is why I didn't mention it, but if the girls are up to it, they can be fun.

I think she might like the hotel slumber party idea...we've never done that before.

We don't really have a budget...I want it to be a special birthday for her! We are looking at between 6-12 girls, depending on what we end up doing. She really doesn't have a clue what she wants.

I'm also thinking of using a limo to wherever we end up going. Can anyone give any recommendations on a company, or an idea of how much this would cost? Thanks again!

I would recommend Blue Diamond Limos, in Raleigh. We've always rented an SUV limo (such as an escalade or hummer limo) and it ran us about $90 an hour. Raleigh Limousine Service | North Carolina Limos | Luxury Transportation | Airport Shuttle

My daughter is 15, in high school and still enjoys going to the hotel to spend the night with her friends that have their birthday party there! I'd suggest a hotel with a pool. Embassy Suites near Crabtree has an indoor pool. A hotel that serves breakfast will help keep the costs down.

Best part is...no mess for you to clean up afterwards!!!

Enjoy! I love the limo idea! Funny how most of us were adults before we got our first limo ride. All my kids rode in limos by the time they were in middle school!

I must be old fashioned, because I was thinking Frankie's Fun Park or something. My 13th birthday party was bowling and a (regular house) sleepover.

Here's a suggestion for a 13th Birthday party. Have all the girls bring donated clothes and canned good and take them to a shelter to dish up dinner for homeless people or better yet take them to a nursing home to help with entertaining the residents with a musical production or skit or just talk to lonely older folks. This kind of "party" will teach them more for their future lives than any hotel and limo escapade. And since they have aged out of hotel parties by age 11 this would be novel and give them something to think about instead of more stuff and self centered activities.

After all----the real world is just around the corner for these girls.
