Toddlers' birthday parties can be a joyous experience as children in this age group are old enough realize they are the center of attention. While there are many venues in Torrance, Calif., to consider for your toddler's big day, keep in mind that too many activities, too many children and too long a time can be over-stimulating, turning a happy day into a teary day. Keep it simple and make it positive experience. - Kid Concepts is a 9,000-square- foot indoor-play facility for children age 10 and under.
