Birthday Party Tips

You may wish to bring:

  • Birthday cake and candles
  • Food and drinks

Hints for a successful party:

  • Games, crafts and other entertainment are not necessary! Children love to explore and play in the exhibits.
  • The Admissions Desk has a full list of the pizza restaurants that deliver to the Museum, or you may pick up your pizza on the way over.
  • Museum dollars are available for purchase to use as favors in goodie bags. They can be used in the Museum Gift Shop. We carry many items under $1.00.

Museum rules are simple and ensure fun for all:

  • Food and drinks are not allowed in the exhibits and must stay in the party area at all times.
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult when playing in the exhibits.
  • No open flames or heating elements other than birthday candles are allowed.
