First Birthday Party Ideas

I am planning my little boy's first birthday party. As most Florida natives, I had envisioned celebrating my child’s first birthday outdoors. I’ve even scoped out the major parks in the Triangle through playdates. Now I realize that it will probably be too cold in November since the average temperatures are between 62.4 and 39.5 degrees. We did not want to have the party at home since our home is small and doesn’t allow for a small group of toddlers to play. I am looking for a good location for a small group of 5 -6 one to two year olds to play and celebrate in the Fall. I live in N. Raleigh but my friends are near downtown and Cary.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Gymboree is fun! Lots of activities and things to play with yet a safe, climate controlled environment. They have 2 locations I believe- one in N. Raleigh and one in Cary.

Thank you both for replying. I was able to check out Gymboree is week. They have a nice clean space. This coming week, I plan to visit Kids Marble Museum. I do have some guest that do not have children and I'm trying to find a place that doesn't limit the number of adult guest (if that is even possible). I checked out (by visiting the website) a ranch with horse rides and a heated club house but my husband pointed out that it rained two days after the birth of our son last year. Cold winds with rain. Yes, I might need to have an indoor party. I will visit the museum next week. Thanks again ladies.
