Activities
Guests choose an hour-long, staff-led activity. Options include:
Lego Robotics
Classic LEGO construction meets robotics. It all starts with the build of one of over 100 robots, all of which include a wireless hub. Then, using a connected tablet and the LEGO app, builders use drag and drop coding to bring the robots to life. From Ferris wheels to snowmobiles to free-build battle bots and many more - and infinite ways to code their movements - this activity never gets old.
Super Science Show
Our science shows are sure to amaze with surprising, entertaining and educational
experiments. Parents and kids alike gasp and giggle as the crazy awesomeness of science is revealed. With experiments involving air pressure, electricity, chemical reactions, magnetism and more, it’s always a hit.
Slime Time
What can we say, slime is just always fun (and better to do it at our place so you don’t have to clean up)! Mixing it is half the fun: watching it slowly become an
oozing mass, debating whether it’s a solid or liquid (neither, its a non-Newtonian fluid!), and deciding on colors and add-ins (glitter is very popular). And yes, the children can take their slime home.
Crafty Creations
Watercolors, pastels, tempera, drawing, collaging, jewelry, flower pots, paper art, bug art, animal art, bead art, fabric art, wall art, macrame, assemblages, nature crafts, weaving, masks, stamping,...pretty much whatever the birthday kid is interested in, we can come up with a fun art or craft project to celebrate them and show their guests a great time.
Beaker Bonanza
A hands-on experience to learn about basic laboratory tools through fun
experiments related to chemical reactions, air pressure, density, etc. Goggles
and gloves provided!
Party Animals
Meet the menagerie! Staff provide fun facts about our education animals while helping the children handle and observe them. We have mantises, tarantulas, hermit crabs and more, plus our celebrity lizard - Ziggy Stardust - the bearded dragon! We also have fish and axolotls, which, while they can't be handled, are fun to watch and learn about.
For our animal's safety, this option is for ages 8+, with a cap of 10 participants.
$5 per participant, on top of activity fee.
