Celebrate Your Child’s Evolution!
Whether your child dreams of someday becoming a world-renowned paleontologist or has a love affair with butterflies, we can make their next birthday one that they will never forget! Our birthday party program takes your child's interests and creates a fun environment to learn and explore on their special day. They run Saturdays and Sundays at 10 am, 12:30 pm, and 3 pm.
