Pete's interests...
*Pete is a boy, turning 13 years old*
- hanging out with friends/having fun with friends
- battlefield 4 (video-game)
- Bowling is a childhood memory
- Good food (i.e. pepperoni pizza, 7up, chocolate cake. e.t.c.).

It costs $300 for the "battlefield". Then it is $5 per person attending party (30 at minimum, 50 at maximum) and $3 for food for each kid. Also you can pay an extra $10 for a special gun for the birthday-boy. It also costs $50 to rent an improvised fighting vehicle.

Conclusion
I think that Pete's parents should spend their money for Larry's Battlefield for the following reasons...

- Larry's Battlefield costs slightly less than Barry's Lanes
- Pete would have a blast with his friends playing laser-tag
- Most importantly the party will be EPIC
