Lifetime Fitness Birthday Parties (review)
200 West Avon Road, Rochester Hills, Michigan 248-601-9400
We attended a birthday party here and it was full of hands-on action! My son still talks about it a year later! The party started at the rock-climbing walls and then moved to the pool. It ended in a private room with pizza and cake. The kids had so much fun and they really got in some great social time and exercise. The only downside would be that it was a bit hectic getting all the kids changed out of their wet swimsuits in the locker rooms. I went with my son, but many parents dropped off their kids and the responsibility was left to the party hosts.

Troy Lanes Birthday Parties (review)

This is where we had my son’s party last year. The kids had a blast.
