Why it’s a Great Experiment: The New York Hall of Science is New York’s largest Science Playground. Parties at the Hall of Science come with your own NYSCI Explainer to facilitate exhibit tours, interactive activities and demonstrations. Bonus: After the party, guests can roam the museum and take in over 450 exhibits, including a mechanical surfboard, real NASA rockets and a giant spider web that kids can climb.
The Scientific Method: Parties are available on weekends in two-hour time slots. Parties are meant to accommodate 12 children and include up to 12 free passes for adult chaperones. All party packages come with gift bags for each child with age-appropriate science toys and a free admission pass for a future visit. The party comes with a half hour in a private party room, table covers, plates, cups, napkins and utensils, food and cake. In the warmer months, a $75 fee gets you Rocket Park Mini Golf for up to 24 guests.
