BIRTHDAY PARTIES ON A DIME
Let’s face it! Birthday parties are expensive. I know from first hand. For those of you on a tighter budget, I have listed different birthday places in Ontario where you can host your child’s birthdays.
Here’s the Catch! Each venue that is listed must accommodate 20 CHILDREN and cost you UNDER $500 with taxes included.
