Birthday Parties in the Discovery Center
The Nicolaysen Art Museum and Discovery Center offer several party options for a variety of age groups.
All parties are two hours long.
You provide the cake, food, and decorations including set up and clean up. (Because of the sensitive nature of the museum and its smoke detectors, the lighting of birthday candles is prohibited.)
We provide a private space for eating and opening presents, access to the Discovery Center, and you can choose from a variety of birthday party activity packages.
The Discovery Center will remain open to the public during business hours and we thank you for being respectful and considerate of our visitors, staff and property.
