What people are saying about our parties:

Themed or Basic Party

We had a GREAT time yesterday with Kaitlyn's party- the educators did an awesome job with the kids and really geared it toward their attention and energy level.  It was the first *real* birthday party we've done- absolutely no stress and we all got to enjoy it.  Thanks!  


Parties at other play facilities are fun for kids, but the Museum of Life Science provides not only fun but a unique educational experience that the kids will remember for their lifetime.


I received comments from my guests that “this was the best 3-year-old party they ever attended.”


The party experience was absolutely perfect.  I have always hesitated to do a party outside our home/clubhouse/playground because of both the cost and the limitations/restrictions.  Not the case here- so much was provided yet we had the freedom to bring our own items to customize the experience for our son.  This party was worth every penny.  We got a well equipped party room with a place for everything (food, gifts, pinata hook, etc); lots of dinosaur items to keep the kids entertained as they arrived, a wonderful program that everyone loved, and an educator that was not only great with the kids, but with us as well (I've been to many parties at other locations where the party liason is very pushy and controlling...this was NOT the case!)  Overall a wonderful, memorable experience for our son and his friends.


We have had birthday parties for our 2 boys there since my oldest son was 2 – he turns 5 this year!  It is always a great experience, and many of the same people come year after year.  It’s never a bore and there is always something new to see!  The staff is very helpful, from putting up decorations, to handing out cake.  Talk about stress free and fun party – this is the place!


Very friendly staff... tried to make sure everything went as smooth as possible.
Happy Birthday cake

Our party facilitator... was outstanding.  He was organized and very helpful.  The kids were entertained the entire time.  I don't think that any of them even noticed that their parents were there

This was a great place to host a birthday party
, especially in the leplab.  After the birthday party, most of the kids enjoyed visiting the butterfly room downstairs.   Another great perk of having a birthday at the museum was that it allowed our guests to enjoy the museum with their families the remainder of the day.  Our daughter is ready to celebrate her birthday at the museum already.  BTW, the cake was beautiful and tasty too:)
