      Amazing List! Last week I went to “iT’Z Family Food and Fun” for my son’s birthday celebration and it was really a great experience. They have very good arrangements especially for kids. Kids can enjoy fun games along with the delicious food. I think you should include this venue to your list too as this is among the best kids party venues in Houston.

      Turquoise Acres Ranch is a fun, outdoor party venue in Katy, Texas. It's perfect for kids birthday parties and has an optional pool rental you can add-on as well for older kids, adults, and teen parties. You can hand feed longhorns, pigs, goats, and other farm animals or play on the playground equipment. We also offer an add-on photographer for the party so you can experience all of the special moments during the party and still capture the moments forever. Here's their website: https://turquoiseacresranch.com/ You can book an afternoon family picnic to have lunch and feed the friendly farm animals to check it out before you book a party.
