We already told you how to have a birthday bash for your little princess, and now we move on to the male-child and all the requisite snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Boys have a world of options when it comes time for themed birthday parties in NJ. From dinosaurs to pirates; superheroes to trains, the Garden State offers endless birthday party places for the little chap in your life.

 

Dinosaurs
If your little guy wishes his birthday could be at Jurassic Park, why not create a dinosaur themed party? Opening in May 2012, Field Station: Dinosaurs (Secaucus) will be home to more than 30 life-sized dinosaurs. A tour of this Hudson county park will be the perfect destination for your paleontologist’s next celebration! For group sales and pricing details, please call (973) 748-4317.

Time2Party (Montclair) hosts several themed parties, including a Dinosaur Dig! Partygoers will personalize a pail, then head over to the sand table to dig and dig until they uncover dinosaurs. Prices begin at $375 for 12 children.

Not ready for a field trip? Dinosaurs Rock will bring the museum right to your home!  Featuring artifacts, a dinosaur egg hunt and a T-Rex foot ring toss, this party will be a sure hit for your little raptors!
