Our take
4/5CALM's pavilion rentals combine a place to gather with admission, giving families a birthday outing and a base for the celebration. The small pavilion has 24 seats and costs $200 for two hours or $225 for three. Larger pavilion and combined-area options make it possible to consider a bigger family gathering.
The extra hour on the small pavilion is worth weighing if you want a less hurried schedule. Outside food is allowed only in rental areas, so plan refreshments around that boundary. Leave balloons, streamers and piñatas off the shopping list. Booking at least two weeks ahead is encouraged.
