Birthday Parties
Make that next one memorable and educational!
Families have been celebrating birthday parties with us since 1992. This is your party! Staff will welcome you, assist at the start of the program, and then step back, so you can enjoy a special time with your youngsters. Parental supervision is always needed.
Hunting for gemstones
Each child receives a medium size ($6.00) collector's bag and the party goes into the Scratch Patch where they spend between 15 and 30 minutes collecting semi-precious gemstones, tropical shells, and panning for gold and pyrite in the pools. Whatever fits in their bags, they keep.
Being creative
The party then moves indoors to the work tables, where each child is given a treasure box to decorate with the gems and shells they have collected. They also get a small bag of rock candies (gourmet jellybeans that look like real rocks!).
Costs:
- Recommended ages: 6 - 12
