Birthday Party Programs

Our Birthday parties feature a 2-hour fun and educational party for your child and his/her guests. The children will learn about nature and spend time outdoors (weather permitting). Our 2-hour Birthday Program includes a 15-minute activity at the beginning of the party followed by a 45-minute nature program (see party themes below). The second hour is open for your own celebration activities. Parties are suitable for children ages 5 to 10
