Our take
4/5Thinkery is Austin's children's museum, and a party here gives your group the run of its exhibits along with a private space. Indoor parties cost $350 ($315 for members) for 60 minutes in a party room plus same-day admission for up to 30 people. Outdoor parties in the shaded Play Yard run two hours for up to 50 people at $500 ($450 members).
Staff help with setup and handle cleanup, but there are no staff-led activities and no food, plates or cutlery, so bring cake, snacks and tableware. Piñatas are not allowed, and you need one adult for every five children. Guests may get wet at the Currents exhibit or climb the outdoor rope Climber, so dress for it. Cancel at least two weeks ahead for a refund minus a $50 fee.
