We’re Madison’s Favorite Birthday Party Place

Not booking birthday parties until 2022.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to host or schedule any birthday parties during fall 2021. Our birthday party room has been repurposed to provide a safe, enclosed place for families to remove masks and eat within the museum. Once COVID-19 safety measures are no longer required we can transition back to our normal cafe space and resume booking birthday parties. We anticipate that this will not be until sometime in 2022—we hope this winter.
