Birthday Parties

Choose from one of our many exciting, nature-themed birthday parties! From mystery and fantasy, to exploration and art… Birthday parties at the Discovery Zone are sure to make your child’s birthday unforgettable!

The Discovery Zone will create a special birthday party experience for your child that is exciting and educational! Whether your child loves to explore or you are tired of the same “party factories” - everyone will love visiting the Discovery Zone’s outdoor classroom and easy-to-navigate nature trails! Parties last 2 hours, with the first hour of that time being led by a Discovery Zone teacher.

Take a look at our 10 exciting party themes below! Be sure to take note of when the parties can take place during the year, as well as what age the birthday boy or girl should be.

Party Themes

Pirate Treasure Hunt Birthday: (Ages 3-8!)

Ahoy Matey! Children transform into pirates and head out for a Pirate treasure hunt like no other as they follow clues to the hidden treasure left behind by Pirates centuries ago in the forest of the Discovery Zone! Meet Captain Hawk and convince him to tell you where the treasure is buried. Children five and under will go on a treasure hunt looking for gold coins!

Available March – Nov.

Birthday Safari: (All ages!)

Children head out into the woods for a grand adventure to search all over for salamanders, frogs and maybe even some turtles-and we know where a lot of them are hiding! An action packed hour for kids who love outdoor excitement and adventure!

Available April - Oct.

Elf Adventure: (5-9!)

Children transform into elves to ward off Jack Frost from freezing up the pools and ponds in the Discovery Zone with his frosty touch, saving our friendly frogs, turtles and salamanders! The party starts with a special story in our classroom, and then our transformed elves will go explore the forest and find a special wand to make for a happy ending to this very exciting party!

Available March - Nov.

A Fairy Happy Birthday: (3-7)

Fun and fantasy are everywhere in the enchanted forest at the Discovery Zone! After reading Tracy Kane’s “Fairy Houses,” children find natural materials and let their creative powers take over to make their very own fairy houses!

Buggin’ Out Birthday: (All ages!)

Got a child who gets buggy about bugs? You're not alone! Let them learn more about insects while we explore the Discovery Zone to catch and inspect our buggy buddies!

-Charlene McCulley

“Party was a hit! Everything was perfect! I appreciate you and the staff. Thanks again!”

-Heather F.

"The Discovery Zone was the perfect place for my son’s 4^th birthday party. The kids LOVED dressing as pirates and going into the woods looking for clues and treasures, then filling and decorating their treasure boxes when they returned. The kids and parents were still talking about the party the next week at school! I can’t thank them enough for making my son’s birthday so special."

"The leaders kept the kids interested... Every one had a great time and the park grounds are so beautiful. Can't wait to go back and just explore. What a gem right in my backyard and I didn't even know it!”

-Karen B.

“Sawyer had the best time at his party! What a great day. So nicely run. I can’t say enough positive things. Thank you for making our little ‘entomologist’ happy!”

– Lesa E.

“The kids had a terrific time. The 3rd grade class had recently taken a field trip to the Discovery Zone learning about Rocks & Minerals so they were all excited to return there. It was such a nice party and the kids learned a lot too.”

-Debra S.
