Why Choose Wild Science for Your Science Party?

Science-themed parties engage children through hands-on exploration and experimentation. Our certified science educators, like Charlotte Rojas with her Master's degree in Bio Veterinary Science, deliver interactive learning experiences that spark curiosity and create lasting memories.

As Jason Ewart confirms: "The scientist was totally able to engage their attention for over an hour and they had fun and learned so much too!"

How Do We Plan the Perfect Science Party?

Setting the Scene with Professional Decorations

Our expert team transforms any space into a science laboratory. We bring:

• Science-themed balloons and streamers shaped like beakers, test tubes, and atoms

• Professional lab area with lab coats, goggles, and real science equipment

• Mini science museum with educational displays and interactive exhibits

Lab-Inspired Science Party Theme

Our team sets up table covers designed to look like lab benches. We scatter test tubes, beakers, and Petri dishes filled with colourful liquids around the tables. We hang periodic table posters and large atom decorations to reinforce the science theme.

Lab Coats & Goggles: Each child receives their mini lab coat and goggles upon arrival, making them feel like real scientists.

Test Tube Favours: We fill test tubes with candy or slime as party favours for children to take home.

What Makes Our Rocket Launch Party Special?

Science parties need exciting rocket launches. We create large rocket displays using cardboard or inflatable rockets as backdrops. We hang paper rocket cutouts from the ceiling and use glow-in-the-dark stars to mimic outer space.

This setup works perfectly for space-themed science parties. The rocket launch becomes a main activity, giving children the chance to design and launch their paper rockets.

How Do We Create Slime and Gooey Decor?

What's more fun than wacky science activities like gooey slime? We set up a slime station where children can make their own slime. We create slime-like banners that hang from tables and walls for decorative purposes.

Neon green streamers replicate slime dripping down from ceilings or windows. We add glow-in-the-dark slime decorations to make the room feel like a laboratory.

What's Our Dry Ice Display Like?

We use dry ice to create a dramatic foggy atmosphere. As the dry ice vapour spills over tables and floors, it gives the room an authentic mad scientist lab vibe. This makes experiments feel extra unique and mysterious.

We ensure dry ice safety by keeping it out of children's reach while allowing them to enjoy the visual effect.

How Do We Set Up Science Experiment Stations?

We set up different science experiment stations around the party area. Each station has themed decorations matching the experiment:

Elephant Toothpaste Experiment: We use oversized toothbrushes and toothpaste props.

Sherbet Making Station: We set up bowls and fun mixing tools with brightly coloured posters showcasing sherbet ingredients.

These stations add to the decor and provide interactive fun for children.

What Balloons and Streamers Do We Use?

We choose balloons in shapes that fit the science theme, such as beakers, test tubes, and atoms. These unique shapes instantly set the tone for a fun and educational party.

Balloon Arch or Column: We create a dramatic entrance with a balloon arch or column using colours that match your science theme.

Themed Streamers: We decorate the party area with streamers in science-themed colours, hanging them from the ceiling and draping them over tables.

How Do We Create DIY Decorations?

We make science parties more personal with DIY decorations:

Science-Themed Banner: We create custom banners with the birthday child's name and age, incorporating science elements like atoms, molecules, and lab equipment.

Science-Themed Centerpieces: We use beakers, test tubes, and other science equipment to create unique table centrepieces filled with colourful liquids or small science-related items.

What Party Extras Enhance the Theme?

Custom Science-Themed Invitations

We send science-themed invitations that resemble lab reports or scientific experiments to ensure the party starts right.

Fun Food Ideas

We keep food on theme with creatively named snacks. We serve "atomic cookies" shaped like atoms or "DNA twists" made from pretzel sticks and candy. A science-themed birthday cake shaped like a volcano or test tube becomes the centrepiece of your dessert table.

Science Party Bags

Children can enjoy a science party at home with science party bags filled with small experiments they can try. We include items like diffraction glasses, mini test tubes filled with candy, and DIY experiment kits.

What Additional Party Activities Do We Offer?

Science-Themed Photo Booth: We set up a photo booth with science-themed props and backdrops, providing lab coats, goggles, and props like test tubes and beakers.

Science Scavenger Hunt: We organise a scavenger hunt with science-related clues and challenges, hiding items like mini rockets, plastic insects, and science equipment around the party area.

Cake and Cupcake Decorating Station: We set up a station where children can decorate their science-themed cakes and cupcakes with toppings like candy atoms, edible glitter, and coloured frosting.

What Birthday Party Tips Do We Follow?

Adult Supervision: We ensure enough adult supervision to keep children safe during science experiments and activities. Our certified educators guide children and ensure safety at each experiment station.

Science-Themed Party Favours: We prepare science-themed party favours for each guest, including items like diffraction glasses, mini test tubes filled with candy, and DIY experiment kits.

Backup Plan for Weather: We plan for bad weather with backup indoor locations or alternative indoor activities.

Food and Drinks: We ensure enough food and drinks for all guests, offering science-themed menus with snacks like "atomic cookies" and "DNA twists."
