Birthday Parties
Past Meets Presents!
Birthdays Never Get Old at the Museum of Nature & Science!
Dig! Crawl! Craft! Celebrate your birthday with a party of historic proportions—all while learning about past, present, and future of nature and science! Explore interactive exhibits designed to captivate the young and the young at heart. Get hands-on with uniquely creative projects. Discover entirely new kinds of fun—and, of course, make memories that last long after the confetti settles!
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. Your guests should bring the presents!)
Available Times
| Saturday: | 10:30 am – Noon |
| 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm | |
| Sunday: | 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm |
