This Mount Airy dance studio, nicknamed MaMa, waltzes into your home and turns it into a full-fledged action-packed par-tay.

Ages three and up; prices start at $125. 215-842-1040.

2. The Playful Chef

3. Mad Science Birthday Parties
Mad Science educates and entertains with specialized parties tailored to the ages of the guests (those four to five make frozen bubbles; ages eight to 12 create electricity). Inexpensive add-ons like a rocket launch result in a birthday party that would make even Bill Nye jealous. Prices start at $210. 800-281-9709, madsciencepa.com

4. Snakes-N-Scales and Turtle Tales
Bringing this live-action show into your living room will make you cooler than the cold-blooded performers.

He’s done his slimy shtick for Bruce Springsteen, twice. All ages; prices start at $250. 973-248-9964, snakes-n-scales.com

5. Family Faux Body Tattoo
Partiers (and parents) select from hundreds of henna, airbrush and glitter tattoo and body-art designs. There’s face-painting, too. Leaving the party looking like Tommy Lee, optional. All ages; prices from $130. 267-252-9530, familyfauxbodytattoo.com
