Birthday Parties
Celebrate your child’s birthday with a private party and hands-on science activities
Book your next birthday party at the Science Centre! This package includes an exclusive two-hour experience with hands-on science activities facilitated by enthusiastic party hosts, plus a pizza lunch. And the fun isn’t over when the party ends—you and your guests are invited to spend the rest of the day at the Science Centre.
Choose from one of our party themes and leave the rest of the work to us!
Party Themes
