GattiTown North Dallas offers birthday party packages that include invitations, thank-you cards, balloons, a pizza buffet and game tokens. The Silver Package comes with $7 in game play for party guests and $12 in game play for the birthday child; the cost is $109.99 for eight guests, $11.99 each additional child. The Gold Package comes with additional game play dollars and costs $139.99 for eight guests, $15.99 each additional child. The 20,000-square-foot venue, which opened in November at the intersection of Marsh and Forest, also offers private party rooms complete with TVs playing cartoons, sports and more (just in case your little ones get tuckered out in the play area). As kids play fun games, they earn tickets that can then be redeemed for prizes (Michael took home a basketball after his birthday party!).

Rayburn says the party was exactly what she was looking for.

“The place is brand-new, it’s clean and the people are really nice,” she says. “It was ideal, and we would definitely go again.”
