they say, one guest for every year your child is, i.e. 3 for your daughter, and playing games, with cake/ice cream, and more play, usually lasting one hour, is about all their attention spans can deal with.\nChuck e cheese, (with that creepy rat) is like sensory overlaod, even for a 7 yr. old.\nKeep it simple. and remember, \nNO CLOWNS!

Really want to visit a "large" craft show?  Go on line and type "Conneaut Lake Park, Conneaut Lake, PA, about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh.  This is a summer resort area, and I reside about 12 miles from there.  Its almost like a miniture "Kennywood", but much smaller and not near as many events, but the cost if right. (free except for the parking).  In october, each year, they have stands from all over the country, even as far away as Flordia.  I went for the first time last year, and was truthfully amazed, and I'm not one to be surprised by most things, but I was on this. Doo-Wop weekend is Memorial Day weekend, and its nice this wekend also.  They have a nice hotel to stay, or eat in also.  Go to the Internet and see for yourself.  My e-mail is doowoprobert@yahoo.com if you seek more information.

Go North up 2nd Street and eat at Gordon Biersch.  Reasonably priced (for SF) and only a five minute bus ride from the park (or about a 20 minute walk)

I took my kids to Build a Bear...  The basic bear, with an outfit and not many extras will cost about $40.00.\n\nDon't go unless you plan to spend close to that or a little more.  You will be disappointed if you aren't prepared to spend at least that.\n\nI hate to say this but the other people who've answered so far don't sound very nice.... these are your KIDS we're talking about... I'm all about my kids.  I don't spend a lot on myself, it's all about them.\n\nI think it's a fun experience and $40 isn't so much to spend to have a fun time with your child and have a nice cute bear to take home to keep.  You'd spend more than that for a day at an amusement park or a night out without your kids.

Use marble tracks and domino's.  You can also use hot wheels on tracks to keep it cheap.

Madagascuar is good!!! I like this weird dancin' racoon thingy the best, my dad like it and my nan and 1 of my uncles loves it!!! But she wont remember going, wait till she is around six, or after going once she will expct to go every week! I don't know what country your in, but madagauscar came out here ages ago, you should buy the video from abroad like on ebay or do an entire web search, it will be cheaper and then you'll have it before everyone else!!!!!!!!

Well Mr Disney was a visionary and a very learned man Disneyland had areas of the park that were seperated by themes so my suggestion would be to pick one of these and take him there. for example tomorrowland, so take him to the Kennedy Space Center. or take him to the smithsonian institution. I sure hope this will at least get you started on some ideas. by

This is gonna sound funny, but it's not. There is a park in the South Hills called South Park. There is a 2 mile bike path all along the main road [flat], and walking trails [hills] throughout the park. Perfect place to rollerblade. I live 5 minutes away and that's where we always go to blade. They even have a deck hockey rink for public use if your into playing hockey while rollerblading.\nHave Fun.

Chuck E. Cheese, Round Table, Baskin Robbins, the community park. Where I live, the city park has a play ground, called Kid Kingdom and adults can't enter un less accompanied by a child.

check online. a lot of people offer online discounts (go direct to the source) or depending on the amount of people, call a travel agent.\nYou're correct, us in CA do have advantages with that, I know we rec discount coupons for a variety of parks (but never disneyland). and i have a friend who could get me in for free (altho i am not interested).\nIf you come up NorCal way I have discount coupons here for Great America and Bonfante Gardens good thru the end of this month. you're welcome to them.

Go to Old Town off Highway 192.  It's free.  There are tons of shops to explore.  There's a carnival, although the rides aren't free.  On Friday and Saturday nights they have a car show and that's free.  It's a lot of fun.  Check it out.

Go to an amusement park! I guess that means we'll have to wait till next summer, cuz it's cold as hell here, and I doubt it's much better there.

I like the party idea and the skating idea.  Going to a concert might be too pricey for 13 year olds.  But if you like museums, that's a great way to spend an afternoon.  I suggest doing somehting you both like, doesn't cost a lot of money, and gives lots of opportunities to laugh, converse and have a great time.  How about taking a walk to a local park to play tennis or basketball?

I do Tootsie Rolls. Then you would turn the papers in for some type of prize If you had the most. I wanted to take my kids there, but I have heard that it has gone downhill. I also loved the big skate. They brought it to my elementary school carnival one year.
