Nature birthday parties

We provide kid-sized tables and chairs, additional seating for adults, and memorable nature experiences during one-hour guided programs. You bring the cake, drinks, and paper goods. The private room with sinks and counter tops is yours for 2½ hours, including your decorating, clean-up, and program time. At your request, we can provide you with 14 nature-themed birthday invitations to send to your guests. In addition to the fees listed below, a refundable cleaning deposit of $300 is due at the time of reservation.
