Planning Your Event

When organizing a party here, it is important to consider the group size and the specific needs of your guests. With a maximum of 30 children, the space feels lively but manageable.

  • Supervision: Professional monitors are available to oversee the play areas.
  • Comfort: A specific zone is set aside for parents to gather.
  • Variety: Access to science, art, and physical play areas is included.

To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving slightly early to greet your guests as they arrive at the Simond Ave entrance. Since this is a popular interactive museum environment, coordinating with the venue regarding the timing of food and cake is essential to maximize the time kids spend in the exhibits. This type of venue works best when children are encouraged to move freely between the different sensory and educational zones.
