GENERAL QUESTIONS
How many guests can attend?
Our party room comfortably holds a maximum of 40 guests (children and adults). If the number of guests exceeds the number of guests reserved, you may be billed for the extra guests. Birthday parties can be booked for less than 16 guests, but remember the minimum charge is 16 children plus accompanying adults.
Can I bring my own food?
Of course! You may bring store bought food. Food prepared from home is not allowed. Remember to bring perishables in coolers because we have no cooking or refrigeration facilities. Please, no red dye juices. Sorry, no credit is given for bringing your own food.
Can I bring my own decorations?
Yes! However, please do not bring any decorations that need to be hung or attached to the walls or the ceiling. Table decorations are most appropriate. For the safety of the animals: ballons, confetti, pinatas or other similar items are not permitted.
Does the Museum supply paper goods and utensils?
Plastic and paper goods (plates, cups, napkins, forks, table covers, etc.) will be provided, but you may bring your own, if you wish. However, no credit is given for bringing your own supplies.
Can I have a guided tour?
The Museum does not currently offer guided tours. Visitors can enjoy more than 200 hands-on, interactive exhibits at their own pace. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone while exploring the Museum.
Can I purchase gift bags?
Gift bags can be purchased for each child. You can select from three price points: $4, $8 or $12.

What do I do when I arrive?
Place your parking pass on your dashboard and park in our bus loop on S.W. 5th Avenue (Commodore Brook Avenue). Proceed to the Concierge Desk, and inform us of your arrival at least 30 minutes before your scheduled party time to meet your Museum host. If you arrive early to enjoy the Museum or an IMAX film before your party, the Concierge will contact your Museum birthday host to store your food and gifts.
Late party arrivals risk a compromised time schedule since other parties or events may follow your allotted time in the party room. No refunds are available for late arrivals.
Your Museum host will assist you by transporting your food and gifts to the party room as well as helping you get the room ready for your guests.
Where do my guests park?
Inform your guests that they can park on the street or in the Arts and Entertainment parking garage located across from the Museum on S.W. 5th Avenue (Commodore Brook Avenue). There will be a fee for parking. Garage availability and fees may vary depending on the Broward Center for the Performing Arts events. Party fees do not include parking.
