bouncy castles are fun and really tire the kids out. Toss in some plastic balls which bounce when the kids jump and it is an entirely new game. parents can walk around the outside and pretend to be giants trying to get in the castle. It adds an element of terror that little kids love.
if you want to go really off the wall, see if you can get that spider/scorpion guy to come around. Apparently many owners of creepy crawly bugs and reptiles will have birthday party packages where they will bring some of their more tame critters, which most boys will absolutely love (and love the fact that their mom's will get the willy nillies). Google calgary reptile club or somethinig like that and see if there is an option. A friend of my wife's did that for her son when he was about 8 and it went over really well.
