We want you to have the best party possible!

To help with this, here are some requirements for our science parties to help ensure that your child has a fantastic time (here are some FAQ’s to help you too)

How many kids can I have?

This is dependent on the type of science party that you choose.

As the majority of our parties are hands-on, children require access to the equipment as well as access to our staff members for scientific explanations. The best number for any party, regardless of theme, is between 10 and 15 children. This is a great number as there is a fun party atmosphere without having a horde of kids at your place once we’re gone!

The general limit for one staff member is 20 children, whereas two staff members can handle 30 children effectively. If you want to cater for a large party, the liquid nitrogen show by itself is the one for you. Don’t forget to include siblings, they will join in too!

Once we have determined the appropriate number of staff to attend your party, please don’t invite additional children on top of the discussed numbers. Having additional children over the recommended capacity does not create ‘value per child’; often it decreases the experience for all attending children.

How old do the kids have to be?

Most of our science parties are appropriate for 5 to 12-year-old children. Older children can be accommodated with a Lego robotics or forensics party.

If you have kids aged 4 to 8 years old, we’ve created a budding scientist party just for them!

What sort of space is needed?

In general, most science parties require a large room cleared of removable furniture with a clear floor area for the children to sit comfortably. A garage or carport is often the best alternative.

An outside area for the hands-on science party, dinosaur party or the space party is needed, preferably grassed to avoid a slipping hazard. This is especially important for a gross science party as this party is quite messy.

We can run the entire party outside, however, please ensure that an alternative venue is available in case of poor weather eg. a friends garage or similar if your home does not suit. We will adjust the party content on a wet weather day so that the kids still have a fantastic time regardless of conditions and being indoors. It’s worth mentioning to attending families to wear old clothes too!

Remember to be SunSmart and choose a shaded area – kids rarely bring their hats to a science party!

Do you need to provide anything?

We bring pretty much everything! The only things that we would like for you to provide are the following:

• Old towels to wipe their hands
• A sink or garden tap close to the party area to help with cleaning up.
• We provide all of the tables. Chairs are not required as in most cases they just get in the way. Placing a rug on the floor is a great alternative.

Please ensure that parking is close to the party site. We have a large amount of equipment to setup – in many cases, an entire ute load! To help with this, please reserve a parking space before we arrive. If we have to park significantly away from the party site it will delay the commencement time significantly.
