What are you looking for? There are quite a few places, but depends on if you want entertainment, space, food, etc. If you just want a place where adults can hang and kids can play, try Bigz. The location on 151 is not crowded like the 1604 location. If you want the kids to be entertained, but no food other than pizza, try one of the bounce house places. There is one in Rolling Oaks Mall, but the one at Crossroads is horrible and gross. If you want to spend waaaay too much money, try Peter Piper or Chuck E. Cheese. We took my almost two year old to Peter Piper a few weeks ago, and he was too young. It was more frustrating for us to follow him around compared to the fun he had. There is a place on San Pedro, not sure of the name, but it's indoors with big wooden climb-on things. On I-10 you can rent a pavilion at Rainbow Play Systems and there are trampolines and playsets. You bring all your own food and decor. Not sure if they allow alcohol. Fiesta Farms is always great for the kids, but you only get a 3 hours time slot. So, all in all, we are having our 2nd bday party at home with food and moon bounce! Because we too just really want a chance for the adults to get together

Pump it Up - a bunch of inflatable stuff. May be a little old if there are ONLY two year olds. But, great party place for kids.

If you will have more adults than kids, and most kids will be 2 or under, I'd suggest a park. I've been to parties at just about all the theme places. While they are ok if you have lots of kids, they generally are not at all fun for adults and some can be more stressful than others. At a park with a playground, there's usually space for kids to play and adults to relax.

I second that. All the little kids in my family and when I was little had birthdays either at a park or in the backyard. Once your kid is a little bigger, Kiddie Park is awesome. For now, you (or you and some family) can rent a moon bounce and let the kids loose. You can bbq hot dogs for the kids, and real food for the adults, and everyone can hang out without the stress of a time limit or 4000 screaming kids who aren't your own.

Parks are a good place. you have mcarthur park that has pavilion and a playground. then there are parks where it is first come first serve, but there are not electical outlets on those. Depending on when you do your party you have to decide if the cold is going to play a factor. You can always go with an airbrush face painting, that it something both the kids and adults really enjoy. if you dont want it on your face you can get it as tattoos. It is different from traditional face painting. there is the company in SA that is good and have many designs. it is san antonio fantasy faces. just google them. they also do balloons stuff.

bingo, add to the fact that all the commotion of a theme joint with older kids running around is gonna freak your daughter out . part of the parenting process is putting some effort into planning your children's party .
