It's Party Time at the Science Center!

 

Our children's birthday parties are science and nature oriented, creative and down-to-earth fun! Parties can include outdoor hikes, games and activities, science experiments, live animals, the EcoZone, and the greenhouse.  All party themes are held year round.  A great party for girls and boys ages 4 and up.

Parents are heard to say, "The kids had so much fun they didn't even notice they were learning something."

Birthday Party Themes

Ages 4-6

Ages 4 and up

Ages 6 and up

Peter Rabbit:
Join Peter on a visit to Mr. McGregor's garden. Meet our bunny and see if we can find rabbits outside.

Young Explorers:
Grab your map, look for clues and find your way along our trails.

**Please note: this theme involves some reading.

Dinosaurs:
For the kidosaurus who loves those "giant lizards". Go back in time to the world of dinosaurs. How are they like the animals of today?
Reptiles & Amphibians:
Crawl, slither or hop over to meet our scaly and slimy friends.
Magic of Science:

Amazing Animal Adaptations: 

Discover the amazing things animals do or have that help them "fit" into their habitats and make them unique.

Harry Potter:

Each party is 2 hours long. For the first hour, a naturalist provides the fun and adventure by leading a program on the theme of your choosing.  Then you have the use of the Birthday Party Room (pictures below) to host the rest of the festivities.  You provide the paper goods, cake, ice cream and/or other refreshments, but we provide the goodie bags!

The Sponsor-a-Critter program or sponsoring an exhibit in the EcoZone are other great ways to celebrate a special day.  Please contact the Science Center for more information.

 

Please help support our mission and keep decorations ecological: avoid Styrofoam, choose Mylar instead of latex balloons, and consider reusable cups instead of juice boxes.  Feel free to contact us for more ideas.
