Our take
3/5For a child already interested in natural history, this San Diego museum is a reasonable starting point for a birthday outing. Let that interest guide the guest list: a group that wants a museum visit has a clearer reason to come together here than one choosing a location before deciding what to do.
Contact the museum before arranging the celebration to discuss group visits and whether any birthday arrangements suit your plans. Ask separately about gathering space and food. Build the invitation around the visit you actually arrange, with any additional celebration planned around those details.
