Birthday Parties

kids at birthday part

Have an unforgettable birthday party at spectrUM Discovery Area, complete with hands-on exhibits and a private science experience. Parties open with free play at spectrUM's museum, move on to a hands-on science activity in the classroom, and close with a birthday celebration.

spectrUM birthday parties cost $500 and include a private room for 1.5 hours, a science activity led by 2 spectrUM educators, and gift bags upon request. Due to fire code restrictions, absolutely no more than 20 kids are permitted per party. Decorations, presents, pizza, and treats are welcome.
