Red Carpet Kids: Butlers wait hand-and-foot, makeup artists powder little noses, and paparazzi snap photos of your child walking the red carpet with friends. Partygoers get to act in mini movies (that they can take home) before viewing the footage at an after-party bash with pizza, soda, candy, popcorn stands, and cake. redcarpetkidsnyc.com
Mad Science: Kids ages 3-12 can interact for about an hour making cotton candy, bubble potions, or launching rockets. Mad Science provides goody bags and accepts groups up to 20 children. madscience.org
