Linda Kaye’s Birthdaybakers Partymakers has created four exciting new ways to transform your child’s birthday into an unforgettable event at the American Museum of Natural History.
Every Partymakers celebration blends learning and wonder with traditional birthday party fun. Each birthday child shines in a chief role leading the party and is made to feel like a star.
Parties are designed for children ages 4 - 10. The maximum number of children per party is 30. Parties can be held 7 days a week for a length of 2 hours!
Party Descriptions
Underwater Treasures (Ages 4-8)
Dive through 20,000 leagues of birthday fun in the Millstein Hall of Ocean Life, where the birthday child and friends examine the wonder of life beneath the waves. The Master Mariner and his first mates will spot a broad spectrum of sea creatures--from octupi and giant squids to hammerhead sharks and dolphins. Party guests even succeed in Finding Nemo! Ever present is the giant of the sea - the Great Blue Whale! Want to add some fantasy to your party? Invite a Pirate or a Mermaid or even Captain Jack Sparrow to make an appearance at your party!

Safari Adventure (Ages 4-8)
The birthday child and friends will trek through the Hall of African Mammals on a fantastic adventure stretching from the heart of the jungle to the grassy plains. Peering beneath the brims of their pith helmets, party guests will track mammoth elephants, lions, gorillas, and other wildlife through this historic exhibit. Of course, the birthday child rules the day as King of the Jungle and should practice a mighty roar in advance. Want to add some extra adventure? Add Indiana Jones to your party!
Dinosaur Discoveries (Ages 4 and above)
Two hundred million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the earth, only to disappear and leave nothing but fossils behind. Partygoers learn how paleontologists use such evidence as tracks and bones to unravel the mysteries of these tremendous animals. As they quest through the dinosaur hall in search of a treasure, the guests learn a tremendous amount about these extinct animals and have a lot of fun. Make the party extra special, add a balloon artist to make balloon dinosaurs for you guests, and even dress up the birthday child in a balloon dinosaur costume!
