to take him somewhere we have done bowling swimming cinema etc.... runnig out of ideas fast he has only ever taken 1 friend but now he is at comp for first year and has all new friends as he went to school out of town (his choice) and wanted to ake it special this year looked at laser quest near us and its at least £150 quid!!! for 1hour also paintballing but not one close enough.
Erm I'm not sure what to suggest really.
My DD is only 20mths so a long way off turning 12.
Have you asked him what he'd like to do?

My ds had a Kayaking party last year, it was only about £7.00 each and a maximum of 8 kids and we brought our own food. Don't know if there's anything like that near you but they all said it was the best party ever! It was a miserable rainy day too, but that apparently added to the experience:huh:

Do you have a dry ski slope near you?
We did snow tubing (sitting in a big inflatable doughnut) at ours for my son's 10th party, it was fab!

Our ice rink had a disco 8 to 11 for young people.
What about a climbing wall party, we have one near us.
Indoor water park with slides etc.
Camping outdoors with a camp fire and sausages.
Cinema trip.
My sons pool party was £90 for 30 kids (inc meal!)
Dry ski slope sounds fun!!

We have the dry ski slope near us and they also have a toboggan run, which is Fab.

They do kids parties there and are pretty reasonable.
Also what about hiring a hall and a DJ then you can have a disco, we did this for my sons 10th birthday.
there's ice sheffield too or if you can bear to drive xscape nr castleford is fantastic fun

discussed with him what he wants i told him about all options even go karting one in next town to us but he wants to go laser quest but this is £150 min as its £15 per child and then min of 10 children!!!! and its not exclusive. but as he says its not just laser quest its better its called lock n load ..

suggest this to your son and see!! i spend up to a particular amount on presents / parties. the cheaper the party the more presents. if he wants laserquest then he will get less presents , let him decide. hes old enough to understand the value of things now as well at 12.
