    Amanda Banta said:  I was beyond thrilled with my 5-year-old's party at the South Shore Community Center. The gym was filled with gymnastics equipment, bounceys, ride-ons and more. The kids played for an hour straight and begged for more time! Toddler parties can be structured with games, but I chose the free play option and it worked great for my kid's pre-K friends. The staff was attentive and kept everyone safe and happy. You get 30 minutes in a party room after play time and you bring in whatever food and supplies you want. They offer gymnastics, sports and bowling parties.
