The packages include unlimited museum time for the party children and a party room for one hour so you can do cake, presents and games. Each child invited to the party can bring one parent. However, if the parents bring siblings, they must pay for them at the front desk. We can also provide a party attendant for $15.00 extra to help with your party.

SUGGESTIONS

  • We recommend making your reservations several weeks in advance because our facilities tend to fill up.

  •  Please bring candles, matches, a knife, an ice cream scoop, and a bag to carry gifts home in.

  • There is a refrigerator/freezer available if you wish to bring perishable items i.e. an ice cream cake.

 GOODIE BAG SUGGESTIONS

 Are you tired of putting together goodie bags?  We have the some suggestions for you.  Our gift shop is full of fun and educational toys.  We suggest that instead of making up goodie bags for each guest that you give them two or three dollars to spend in our gift shop.  Many of our toys are priced below two dollars so no child should have a problem finding something to spark their interest.
