Kids science parties are a favourite , both for our team of Presenters and the kids they love to entertain and inspire. Science parties tick all the boxes for boys and girls parties with a bit of an edge. Every party has been designed and tweaked for many years to provide fantastic experience for everyone involved.
We are the science party experts and our Presenters are trained to provide the maximum amount of fun while still keeping everything under control. Fun and science all in one party! The kids may even learn a thing or two.
Science Birthday Parties
We have been hosting hands-on science birthday parties for years and whenever we host one, our top priority is making sure every single participant has the best time possible.
While we love teaching kids all about science and the world around them, our kids parties emphasise the fun factor above all else.
With a great range of experiments and programs to choose from you can give your kids a treat with a slimy, messy, creative and super-duper fun science themed birthday party!
All Parties, Not Just Birthdays
Our kids science parties work equally well for other kids events too! Over the last decade we have modified our birthday parties to work fantastically well for events such as kindergarten visits, bar mitzvahs, christenings, family days, holiday programs and heaps more.
If you see a birthday party theme or experiment you like, please ask us and we would be more than happy to mould our party to be brilliant for any event you had in mind.
The Alpha Party
This is a 60 minute party which includes a Mini Science show followed by an Experiment of your choice with all of your guests clad in a Lab Coats and Safety Glasses.
The birthday child has an extra special role to play in the show and every child make something to take home.
The Alpha Party is perfect for the budding mini scientist. It is competitively priced at $395 for up to 20 children and $15/head for additional guests.
How does an Alpha Party work?
We start by getting the kids decked out in their lab coats and safety goggles before presenting a mini science show which includes a big happy birthday for the Birthday Child.
Now its Experiment time! The laboratory table will be stacked with pipettes, syringes, test tubes, stirrers, plates, cups and heaps more gear to “science” their take home creations to life. Every child has their own set and will fully partake in the experimenting action under the careful guidance of our Presenters.
The Scientwists are the party fun experts so every party will be a blast!
An Alpha Party Includes:
- Two highly trained and amazingly fun Scientwist Presenters
- 60 mins of hair-raising demos and hands-on science
- A take-home science creation
- Two trestle tables (you may need to supply extra depending on numbers)
- Microphone and small PA if needed
- Safety glasses and lab-coats to wear on the day
- A memorable and fantastic party experience!
Optional Extras:
- Party bags packed full of sciencey goodness
- Take-home versions of our labcoats
If you are looking for a boys or girls science party for the mini scientist in your family, invite us to come and host the best party you’ll ever have. And just to top it off, we take all the mess away so you can even put your feet up and enjoy the day too!
