FAQ:

What does a birthday party consist of?

A birthday party is similar to a regular museum tour (see Tours), except that the movie portion of the tour is replaced by your child's actual party in our Buggy Party Room.

Your museum educator will take your group on a customized tour through the museum, during which time your child's questions will be answered and the group will be encouraged to explore and have a good time. Though our staff is always equipped to handle the scientifically-curious child, a birthday group will generally not be expected to absorb the same amount of information that a regular school group would. Hey, it's a party.

 
When are birthday parties held at the Insectarium?

Birthday parties are traditionally held on Saturdays at the Insectarium, at either 10:00, 12:00, or 2:00…but we will schedule a birthday tour on any weekday during the afternoon hours. Because we want to give your child the special attention they deserve on their birthday, we reserve Saturdays and weekday-afternoons for this purpose. Please call our museum to check availability.

 
What is the cost of a birthday party?

A birthday party has a flat fee of $85.00 which covers 10 children.  The birthday child and two parents are free.  Each additional child is $7.25.

 
What are crafts and grab bags?
Is there an additional cost for these options?

Crafts are available, either to construct here at the Insectarium, or to take home and finish there. To see available craft options and prices, click here.

Grab bags are offered for birthday party groups and all tours. The cost of the grab bags is up to you. In other words, if you wish to request 15 grab bags, at a cost of $3.00, we will tailor-make them using an appropriate mix of insect-merchandise from our large gift shop. The total cost to you would be $45.00. We can accommodate any cost for the grab bags, but a minimum of $2.00 is recommended.
