Party Smarty is about more than cake and candles. We make it our mission for your child to have an unforgettable time and to learn something while they’re at it.
Planning with us is easy.
Themes:
Butterfly – You can explore butterflies and entomology in the Cockrell Butterfly Center, our 3-story living rainforest**
Dinosaur – Dig through 3 billion years of history in the Morian Hall of Paleontology, the largest hall of paleontology in North America!
Astronomy – Throw a soiree under the stars with our Astronomy theme while enjoying a film in our newly renovated Burke Baker Planetarium.
Egypt – Experience the mysteries of an ancient civilization in our Hall of Ancient Egypt**. Due to the sensitive nature of the items inside the Hall, we do not recommend this theme for children below the age of 8.
Wildlife – Can you spot the rattlesnake? Take a hike through our Farish Hall of Texas Wildlife while you see how many different animals you can find through 5 unique biomes of our great state.
Expedition – Spend a fun-filled hour flying to Mars in our Expedition Center before you finish your celebration in one of our private party rooms (ages 10+). This package does not include a craft.
