The singing was lots of fun - the party leaders were so super with such beautiful voices and a real heart for kids. All of her friends had a lot of fun at the party, making crowns and playing in the Birthday Party Playroom. Emily felt like a Princess that day! The Children’s Museum throws the best parties!" -Mother of a four-year-old

Top Ten Questions about CMOM Birthday Parties

Question 1:
At what age are children counted as part of the party package?
Answer:
Any child one or over is counted.

Question 2:
At what age are children no longer counted in the party package and counted as an adult guest? 
Answer:
Any child nine years or older is not counted in the party package.  However, if you would like to include the child in the party festivities, we would set up a chair for him/her at the kid’s table.  If this is done, he/she would be counted within the party package.

Question 3:
What are the refreshment options for the adults, as your information reads that the food and supplies are only for the children? 
Answer:
There are only two things a family needs to think about for the adults (yes, only two things!):  adult food and adult drinks.

Option 1:  A parent may order extra pizzas through the Birthday Manager for $12.00 a pie … or have it catered … or you may bring it on your own.  (Heating devices such as heating fuels, hotplates, etc. are not permitted.)

Option 2:  Parents usually bring (or have delivered) all the adult drinks such as water and sodas

Question 4:
Is alcohol permitted at the party?
Answer:
Wine and champagne are the only alcoholic beverages permitted.  (We discourage adults from serving any hot drinks that may cause burns if spilled.)

Question 5:
If I choose to serve the permitted alcohol, how is that handled?
Answer:
Parents will bring (or have delivered) any alcohol.

Question 6:
From where do you order the cake?
Answer:
Cupcake Café

Question 7:
Will the room be decorated?
Answer: 
Yes CMOM decorates the room fully with stuffed animals, books, Happy Birthday signs/decorations and a road map (to name just a few).

Question 8:
Are balloons an option?
Answer: 
Yes, balloons are an option, although CMOM does not include them within the birthday package.  We refer you to our balloon company, Cardeology.  You may call them directly to place your order.  We will pick the balloons up for you or they may deliver them to CMOM on the day of your party. 

Question 9:
Are invitations provided?
Answer: 
Yes, we will mail the invitations to you once you place a deposit … all you need to do is fill out the back and mail them to your guests.

Question 10:
I noticed that your website says we will receive an all day free pass the day of our scheduled party.  How does that work – especially if we book a 5pm party?
Answer: 
You and your guests are welcome to explore CMOM’s wonderful exhibits all day on the day of your party.  Your RSVP date is a week before your scheduled party.  On this date, you will fax or email a final count and written hard copy of the names of all children attending the party to the Birthday Manager so that we will know who to expect.    

For parties held early in the day, you and your guests are welcome to explore CMOM’s wonderful exhibits and participate in programs after your party until the museum’s 5pm closing time.  

If you book a party towards the end of the day, parents will usually indicate on the back of the invitations an arrival time of one hour prior to the party to explore CMOM.  It is highly recommended that you do not have your guests arrive earlier than one hour prior to your party, as the children would be tired by the time your party begins
