Saturday's at the Children's Museum we host Birthday Parties in our Birthday Room for children ages three to six years of age. Starting at $250 for up to 25 guests, we can help you plan a memorable time, in a safe, unique enjoyably setting, with no set up or clean up for you!

Packages/Costs: we have 2 Basic parties & 2 Theme parties (up to 25 people total, birthday child, friends, & family) available to choose from. During a 2 hour & 30 minute time frame (10:30am-1:00pm) children can explore and enjoy the four floors of the Museum with their chaperones, and spend 30 minutes (11:00am to 11:30am) celebrating in our birthday room, when you'll privately enjoy your pizza & cake or sugar free or low sugar cupcakes. The time before the birthday room time slot you'll spend greeting your guests & enjoying our 1st floor exhibits. The time after your birthday room time slot, you'll spend with your guests enjoying our 4th, 3rd, & 2nd floor exhibits. We require that you take your presents home to open so you can stay on the schedule, as the children attending are more interested in exploring all four floors of the museum & its many interactive exhibits.

Guidelines: To ensure the safety of the children and our exhibits, following are our rules for birthday party parents or chaperones:
As Parent/Chaperone, I understand it is my responsibility to help keep the Museum safe for all children by going over with them & helping them follow the Children’s Museum Birthday Party Rules
1. All party guests/parents must check-in at front window. Parents dropping children will get their hand stamped to identify return
2. Parents are expected to chaperone and be with children at all times, on all floors (1 chaperone per every 4 children required)
3. Parents/relatives/chaperones stay with party child per schedule (1/2 hour in bday room, 1/2 hour on each floor)

4. No food or drink permitted outside the birthday room
5. All balloons must stay tied down in birthday room; after party leaves for 4th floor, staff clean up the room and tie the balloons to your goody bags to be handed out at the front desk to guests as they leave (presents will be stored safely on the corner kitchen table).
6. All presents will be taken home to open so children have time to enjoy the 100's of interactive exhibits on each of our 4 floors.
7. No Running, Pushing, or Shoving- Use Inside Voices so all museum visitors enjoy their visit
8. Playspace is for children 3 and under, only, chaperoned. Wooden Train with stuffed animals is open to all children to enjoy.
9. Exploration area is for children 3 and up, chaperoned. Younger children allowed if a chaperone is accompanying them there.
10. Robot Room is for children 7 and up, only.
11. Remind your children they don’t go behind roped off areas.
12. Respect the Property of Others - All toys etc. remain in their individual rooms or areas, to be available for all visitors to play with. Help children pick up exhibits/toys when done playing.

* I
f parents don't stay, they must identify themselves at the front window & pickup their child from the birthday parent at end of the party.
