Birthday Parties at the Museum

Birthdays never get old at the CUMNH!
The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History offers children’s birthday party packages! With hands-on projects, crafts, and games, your party guests will discover entirely new kinds of fun—and, of course, make memories that last long after the last dinosaur roars!

It’s your big day, so you get to choose from three uniquely designed natural history birthday experiences:

  •  Dinosaur Adventure (dinosaurs)
  •  Digging into the Past (archaeology)
  •  Bugging Out! (insects)

We provide one hour of facilitated activities in the museum galleries, a half hour in a private party room, a party favor for each guest, customizable e-invitation. You provide the cake, refreshments, and serving supplies.

 

The cost for a Museum Birthday Party is $200 for up to 12 children (additional $50 for up to a maximum of 15 children). 

For more information or to schedule a party, please contact the Museum Education Office at museumed@colorado.edu or 303-492-1666.
