Included Items and Add-ons
Do you provide food?
With Silver Packages, we offer Juice Boxes and Pizza to guests. With Gold Packages, we offer Juice Boxes, Pizza and Cake to guests. If you would like to add food onto your package, you’re more than welcome to! Please give your estimated head count to the Birthday Supervisor 7 days before your party.
Do you include decorations?
Tablecloths are provided, but we encourage you to bring your own decorations. Our hosts are happy to help you set up 45 minutes before your party, and clean it all up for you afterward.
Can we add extra time? What about a facepainter?
We have add-ons including extra time in the Museum or party area, face painting, and more! Please inquire with the Birthday Supervisor about availability of a face painter prior to your party.
Can I suggest music?
Yes! For the celebration portion, we are happy to play any music that you want. We also have a general party playlist of pop music and oldies that many guests love!
