If you have your child's birthday party away from your home, you often can combine good food and a fun activity for a memorable occasion -- not to mention a little less stress for Mom or Dad.

But where should you go? There's a lot of options here in Stow, but only one can be crowned Readers' Choice Best. 

You can either vote in our poll or click on your favorite choice below and rate it by using our five-star rating system. The winner will be chosen based on a point system that tabulates the number of positive ratings a business gets and numbers from the poll.

The poll closes at 5 p.m. Friday.

Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to review your favorite option:
