Birthday Parties

Past Meets Presents!
Birthdays Never Get Old at the Museum of Nature & Science!

It’s your big day-so you get to choose from several brilliantly original birthday experiences. Packages also include a private party room, museum admission for each guest, free parking, and a party host. But, since we’re better scientists than chefs-parents provide the cake, snacks, drinks, and party supplies. Table-top decorations are welcome.

Available Times

Saturday: 10:30 am – Noon
  2 pm – 3:30 pm
Sunday: 2 pm – 3:30 pm
Weekdays: 3:30 pm – 5 pm
