In need of BD party ideas for 11 yr. old boy

It seems like each yr. that my son gets older, the party ideas get harder and harder. He would really like to have a BD party this year since he hasn't had a party since we moved here 3 yrs. ago.

One of the problems is that we don't have room at our apt. for a "party" of any size. So if the party had more than a couple of kids attending, it would have to be held somewhere else. I'm at a loss for something "cool" to do.

I've thought of having a video game party where he and his friends (3 at the max) could play video games-and win prizes for being the best. Is that cheesey?

We have parks around us where I could rent a pavillion but then what??? Do kids his age still play games? I doubt it.

His birthday is Oct 27, so it could relate to Halloween--there is a haunted house nearby. Again that would limit the # of people because of the price of admission but that would be ok---what to do afterwards?

Maybe a movie and then out to eat? Bowling or Skating? One of his friends has already invited people to go climb the rock wall at our Whitewater place so that's out.

How about Dave and Busters? (This would be a drive for us so I would use this as a last resort)

I'm looking for ideas for something fun and original. Any ideas would really be appreciated!!

Thanks!
Tami
