Saturday's at the Children's Museum we host Birthday Parties in our Birthday Room for children ages 2 to 7. Starting at $250 for up to 25 guests, we can help you plan and then have the greatest time, in a safe, highly unique enjoyably educational setting, with no hassles and no set up or clean up for you!

Packages/Costs: we have 2 Basic parties & 2 Theme parties available to choose from for 2 different time frames. During a 2 hour time frame (either 11:00am-1:00 pm or 1:30pm-3:30pm) children can explore and enjoy the 4 floors of the Museum with their chaperones, and spend 45 minutes (either 11:20am-12:05pm or 1:50pm-2:35pm) celebrating in our private birthday room, when you'll privately enjoy your pizza, cake, etc. 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 2nd & 3rd & 4th floor exhibits. We even build in time for the kids to take a ride in our airplane! Download Party Packages with costs. Party Extras are available.

Guidelines: To ensure the safety of the children and our exhibits, following are our rules for birthday party parents or chaperones:
* I understand I am expected to provide one (1) Adult Chaperone for every four (4) children to supervise the children at the party, at all times, on all floors, who will help them follow our b-day rules.
* I understand that the children will be expected to obey the Museum’s Birthday Rules: (given to the Birthday parent & parent guardians as they enter the museum)
* I understand that balloons must remain tied in birthday room until end of party, at which time they will be removed by the Museum party staff & taken up front to be tied to your goodie bags & given to children upon their leaving. Balloons are not given out unless you provide some kind of a goody bag.
* I understand that all food (except cake & ice cream) must be provided by the Museum. If I want to bring in any extra supplies or decorations, it must be okayed by the Museum staff & brought in to us by at least the day before the party to allow us to have setup complete when you arrive.
