Our take
4/5McWane Science Center makes a strong case for a science birthday, especially with the Science Spectacular package. Its host and hands-on lab give the celebration a defined activity, while a private party room provides a separate gathering space for two hours. The $350 Science Starter includes admission for 14 plus the birthday child, decorations, paper goods and drinks.
At $425, Science Spectacular adds parking tokens and other extras alongside the lab and host. Parties run on Saturdays and Sundays and need booking at least two weeks ahead. You can bring your own cake; other food must come from the onsite café.
