Birthday Party Themes
Birds of a Feather
Why can’t a penguin fly? How do we tell our penguins apart? Learn the answers to these questions and more as we explore the world of our feathered friends. Through activities and games, your party will love discovering how these adorable birds survive so well without flying. This party includes a private Touch and Learn with live invertebrates.
Sharks
Join in on the fun as we prove or disprove many of the myths associated with sharks. We will learn what a shark is, why it looks the way it does, how they keep the ocean food chain going and the many difficulties they face today. Through fun, interactive games, we will find out exactly what you know and what you think you know! Who will be named the ultimate shark expert? This party includes a private Touch and Learn with live invertebrates.
Canaries of the Sea
Together, we will discover the incredible physical and behavioral adaptations the charismatic beluga whales have for survival in their ocean habitat. We’ll learn why they are nicknamed the “Canaries of the Sea,” how they communicate with each other, how they have their own form of “radar” and much more! This party includes a private Touch and Learn with live invertebrates.
