Party FAQs
“Do you provide loot/goodie bags?”
We do not provide goodie bags. However, should you choose to provide goodie bags, please feel free to include the free children’s gallery passes, which we supply to each child attending the party.
“Can I bring my own cake and party food?”
Yes, you can! All outside food and cake must remain in the party room. Cupcakes from Origins Kitchen are included with your birthday party package, and you have the option to add on a catered meal.
“Are sparklers or candles allowed?”
Sparklers are not permitted to keep our animals, plants, and artifacts safe. A single candle or one numbered candle is permitted.
“Can I bring decorations?”
Yes, you can!
“Can I have more than 15 kids and 15 adults at my party?”
You may include up to 5 additional children for a surcharge of $10/child. Adults may attend free with their child.
“Is there a private party room?”
Yes, there is! The private party room is yours for the duration of the party. Your guests will have access to the museum galleries at any time during the party.
“Can we stay longer?”
For daytime parties, the private party room will be reserved for you for two hours. After two hours, you are welcome to enjoy the rest of the museum galleries at your leisure. Evening birthday parties are scheduled when staff are available, so for this reason, we cannot allow you to stay longer than your scheduled time during an evening party.
“Who is responsible for the children during the party?”
Our team is available to lead the hands-on, planned activities, and may assist you during the party, but you are responsible for moderating the behaviour of your guests and the whereabouts of the children at all times, especially when they explore the galleries.
“Do I need to clean up afterward?”
Leave the preparation and clean up to us! Relax, and enjoy the party with your child and guests.
