Come celebrate with us! Here’s what recent party guests had to say:
“You made it so easy! The kids love science, learning and exploring. They got an hour together to play and then they were set free to explore. You took all the work out of it for me, as the parent, and even brought gifts and leftovers out to my car for me!! The best!!”
“It is one of a kind birthday party, where kids had a lot of hands-on fun and the parents loved the time they spent with their kids showing the exhibits and explaining science. The team was amazing to communicate with, and they eased a lot of planning work for me. This is the easiest birthday I have planned so far. Thanks to you.”
“Um ... EVERYTHING. The experiments were enjoyed by both kids and adults, and as the mom, I LOVED not having to do any of the directing, serving, or cleanup. I got to just enjoy the party.”
