party ideas for a 10 year old

my son turns 10 next month and I want to have a really special party as it will be his last big party until 18.

I dont want to do laser quest or bowelling as they have been done to death.

My old idea so far is junior paintballing.

anyone else got any ideas?

    Go Ape is fun

    You might have to be over 12 for that, can't remember!

    Have you asked him what he wants to do.. think my dd asked for a day out in London with a friend when she was 10 - so much easier than a party!

    For his 10th birthday my son invited a few friends to watch an under 21 England football game that was playing at our local stadium accompanied by Mr S.

    For his 11th they did junior paintballing.

    i want something different for DD rather than the usual play centre stuff so this year i have booked a lady who comes with animals. she has reptiles, snakes, bugs and spiders etc as well as rabbits, rats and a skunk. It has cost £80 for an hour and half and then guna put some food on afterwards.
