Children’s Birthday Party Venues in Pasadena

Pasadena has a wide variety of venues for children’s birthday parties. Listed are some of the more offbeat, a change from the usual Chuck E. Cheese. Since most of the venues require that you bring your own refreshments, I am throwing in my own personal recommendation for birthday cakes. These women make the tastiest, most inventive or beautiful cakes ever.
