Birthday parties at CMNH are available on Friday and Sunday afternoons. Each day offers two party slots:

  • Fridays: 4-6pm (Access to the Private Party Room from 5:30-6pm)
  • Sundays: 1-3pm (Access to the Private Party Room from 2:30-3pm)

When you book a birthday party at CMNH, you gain access to a private classroom area for food and cake. Along with this, all guests can explore and enjoy the museum's exhibits including arts, science, or making activities in the Muse Studio. The outdoor patio is not available for birthday parties. While the museum remains closed to the general public during party times, note that other birthday parties may be occurring simultaneously. Each party is limited to 40 guests, including both adults and children. This limit ensures everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. If you prefer a private birthday party experience, you must book both time slots. 

There are several restaurants within walking distance from the museum. Decorations should be kept to minimum and permitted only to table tops. Balloons, confetti, glitter or any decorations taped to the walls are not allowed.
