Birthday Party FAQs

Can I add gift bags to my DIY party?2023-12-27T15:05:37-05:00

Yes, you can add on gift bags for $5 each. You will not be charged for any gift bags you do not end up taking.

Can I book a smaller party?2023-12-27T15:03:25-05:00

Smaller parties are possible by special request. Please contact laura@wonderlab.org

Can I bring a helium tank to inflate balloons?2024-03-28T14:49:42-04:00

Yes, but empty helium canisters cannot be left at or thrown away by WonderLab. Helium is a precious and nonrenewable resource, so we encourage you to find alternatives to purchasing a helium tank. If you do choose to bring a helium tank to inflate balloons, it is your responsibility to operate it safely, bring the tank home with you, and know how to responsibly reuse or recycle it. Compressed gas can be dangerous when handled improperly and helium tanks are not allowed to be disposed of in the party room trash cans.

Can I bring a piñata?2023-12-27T15:04:37-05:00

No. We do not have anywhere safe enough to hang/hit a piñata.

Can I bring food and drinks?2023-12-27T15:04:58-05:00

Yes, you can bring your own food and drinks, but they must stay in the party room.

Can I bring more than 40 guests?2023-12-27T14:55:04-05:00

When you book a double, 40 people is the maximum number of guests that will comfortably fit into our 2 lab rooms. Infants (children under 1) do not count towards this total. If you would like to bring more than 40 guests, each additional guest will need to pay the full price of museum admission, regardless of membership status. We may be able to accommodate a larger party with all three of our lab rooms, depending on the date and time of your party.

Can I bring my own decorations?2023-12-27T15:04:14-05:00

Yes! Bring any decorations you would like for your DIY party. Our themed parties come with decorations, but you can bring more to add to the party room.

Can I light birthday candles?2023-12-27T15:05:19-05:00

Yes, you may light candles in the party room, just remember to blow them out!

Can I rent out the entire museum for a birthday party?2023-12-27T15:03:49-05:00

Yes, the entire WonderLab museum can be rented after hours. You would book an evening rental and then let us know the occasion!

What activities will we do at my themed party?2023-12-27T15:06:17-05:00

Great question! The activities chosen for your party theme will primarily depend on the ages of your party guests. We are always developing new science activities and improving upon our old ones. What we can promise is that our activities will be relevant to your chosen theme, educational, and tons of fun! If you have concerns or special requests regarding activities, please reach out to the birthday party specialist.
