Party Planning Tips:

  • Plan on getting in and out of the party room quickly. Children can sit for cake anytime, they much rather be out in the Museum.
  • Note on your invitations when cake will be served so your guests arrive on time. Parties end promptly on time.
  • Spend your money wisely. Party hats and blowers get left behind and discarded.
  • Cupcakes are convenient options and can be packaged to go.
