CELEBRATE your child’s special day at the Great Lakes Science Center!

What could be more fun that a day of hands-on activities in one of the largest interactive science centers in the US? In addition to an all day admission to the Center’s over 400 exhibits, our new party packages have many options to fit every budget.

Choose from our basic themes. Ask about additional options!

The Science of Magic and Wizardry:

For that special “Harry” or “Hermione” in your family, make potions, dry-ice crystal balls, and watch electricity flow from your fingertips!

Bubble-ishious Birthday:

Who doesn’t love watching bubbles dance on the wind? This party is great for all ages, especially our youngest guests. Ask for a visit from one of our expert “Bubble-ologists”!

Flower-Power Spa Science:

Flowers are the basic ingredient for every spa-luxury! Dress up as a flower-fairy and make fizzy bath bombs or luscious lip-gloss with all-natural ingredients!

Gross-Out Science:

Oh, you know you like it!! From a demonstration about what happens to your birthday cake, to making gross, disgusting and edible scabs, these are activities that will keep you smiling!

It’s a Mystery!:

Find out “who done it” as you investigate a mystery using fascinating forensics, or hunt for a missing treasure.

Outer Space Meets Our Inner Astronaut!:

Who doesn’t love the idea of lift-off! From stomp-rockets (in nice weather, of course) to the cold of deep space, this party is a blast for all ages!

We have three levels of customization:

Package A-$175: All day admission for 20 guests. Decorated party space for 90 minutes. You bring the treats!

Package B-$240: All day admission for 20 guests. Themed Party Space for 90 minutes. Customized cake ice cream, and unlimited juice!

Package C-$410: Package B, plus themed staff-led demo or activity, age-appropriate activity and kid-friendly choices of party food.

For information and to reserve your date, call 216.621.2400!

Making your reservation

A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date and time slot. Times are 10:30am-12:00pm, 1:00-2:30pm, and 3:30-5:00pm. You may add the OMNIMAX® Theater to your package for an additional fee.

A staff-led demonstration or activity can be added to any package for an additional charge of only $50.00

Please call at least 3-4 weeks in advance to reserve a spot for your special day.

If you wish to book a party date or have any additional questions, please call 216-621-2400.

Please note


Museum hours are 10:00am-5:00 pm daily.

Because the museum closes at 5:00 pm, guests reserving a 3:00pm party should have their guests arrive early so they can enjoy the museum before the celebration.

Parking is available in our attached garage. Have your ticket validated at the Information Desk to receive a discount off the $8.00 parking fee.

The Science Center does not furnish heating or cooling facilities. Coolers are permitted in the building with birthday parties.
Due to safety issues, helium balloons are not permitted inside the Science Center

Thank you for your interest in a party at the Great Lakes Science Center.
