Birthday Parties
Celebrate your "young scientist's" birthday with an amazing, unforgettable party at the Ontario Science Centre! Leave the entertaining and activities to us while you relax and enjoy your child's special day. Two Ontario Science Centre "Party Pros" will deliver an exciting and educational two-hour birthday party in a private party room, full of concocting, examining, and experimenting! Children will engage in fantastic hands-on, interactive science activities based on your selected science theme. When the party is over, your guests can enjoy the rest of the day exploring all the exhibits at the Ontario Science Centre!
Three fun-filled Birthday Party themes to choose from!
MAGIC |
|
Experiment with optics and chemistry as you unlock the secrets behind some popular magic tricks. Defy the laws of gravity and make an orb levitate. Celebrate the magic of science with an indoor fireworks show. Create a balancing stick to amaze your friends and family!
|
|
 | SPACE |
| Investigate Newton’s Third Law of Motion to determine how rockets launch into space and enjoy two interactive “launch” demos – a film canister rocket and a balloon rocket. Build and test a planetary lander with the goal of successfully landing it without damaging its cargo – an egg!
|
|
 | CHEMISTRY |
| Experience chemistry and explore the physical and chemical changes of matter with cool chemistry demos. Mix your own concoctions of “slime” (a polymer made by mixing together a borax solution and glue) and “ooblick” (a non-Newtonian fluid made with cornstarch and water). | |
