Celebrate with Science
Give your child a birthday celebration they’ll remember for years to come, filled with science and fun! Choose from various party themes.
To book your party, please fill out the “Request a Party Date” form at the bottom of this page.
Year-Round Party Themes
Bubble Blast
Ages 3-6
Go beyond the bubble basics! With the help of a BMS “Bubble-ologist,” you and your guests will be creating, painting with and even standing in bubbles.
Diggin’ Dinosaurs
Ages 3-8
Party participants become young paleontologists and examine the bones, horns and claws of some of their favorite dinosaurs. Party-goers will don field hats and head up to our Rethink Extinct science studio, where they’ll learn more about our Collections, and dig in their own personal dig pit!
Super Scientist’s Lab
Ages 6 and up
Intrigued by messy fun and crazy concoctions? Let’s throw on lab coats and goggles and experiment with static electricity, chemical reactions and more!
Science Below Zero
Ages 6 and up
This is the “coolest” party ever! Experience the chilling effects of liquid nitrogen and watch as it makes mist shoot high into the air, balloons “magically” shrink, rubber balls shatter, and much more!
SciArt
Ages 6 and up
Creativity and scientific thinking go hand in hand as your party will learn science through art activities. We will explore the science behind iridescence, paint using force and motion, and experiment with colorful chemical reactions.
