Birthday Party Themes
NEW! Science Shenanigans
Fun science experiments and activities will bring out the inner mad scientist in your child and guests! Experiments will be based on age of birthday child.
NEW! Under the Sea
Explore the magical blue world that captures our hearts, including sea turtles, dolphins, sea shells and more!
NEW! Fantastic Beasts
Discover the slithering, crawling, and gnawing beasts of the forest. We will learn about those animals that do exist and also maybe new ‘beasts’ that only exist in our imaginations.
Happy Bird-day
Learn about our feathered friends for your birthday. These amazing flying animals are special in so many ways. We will go bird watching.
Service project: Make bird food garland/feeder (season dependent).
It’s a Bug’s World
Some people think insects are creepy. We LOVE insects here at the Habitat. Come and celebrate your birthday with some of our smallest friends and learn how important they are to the earth.
Service project: Based on the season, we will either plant flowers or make a home for insects.
