★★★★★Larry GoodeWe had my 6year old party at Mad science yesterday and it was an entire vibe! The space is very spacious and the experiments conducted kept all the kids attention let's just say even the grown kids lol! Meghan (the instructor) did amazing! I can't thank you all enough! We will definitely be back🤙🏾❤️
★★★★★Nuray OCALWe celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday at Mad Science. My daughter and her friends, had a blast. They had so much fun. Thank you for making her birthday special. Thank you again.
★★★★★Candace MorganWe had my daughter’s birthday here yesterday, and it was our first experience with Mad Science. I was blown away, the ease of planning her birthday I was so surprised. It’s the first time we have held it a facility, and let me tell you they can handle EVERYTHING! When we arrived I never felt rushed, the only rushing I felt was due to myself (targets pickup section was backed up and took longer than expected to pick up some last min party supplies). Lisa was our Mad Scientist and she was incredibly patient, attentive, and entertaining for a mixed group of 3-9 year olds in attendance. All the kids interacted or were mesmerized by the science experiments she did for the children. When they were done with that, they got to do their own. I cannot speak highly enough about Lisa! She was fantastic, and I am wanting to have my own birthday party there for adults if we could. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to look up their summer camps or holiday camps they may have.
★★★★★Lauren SawyerWe had my daughter’s birthday party at the Mad Science Lab this weekend and had an amazing experience! As a parent it was so easy we picked a theme and the Mad Science team did the rest when we got there. The kids had an absolute blast they were engaged the whole team and had so much fun. I can’t recommend it enough it was a fantastic party!
★★★★★Emily GiannoneWe hosted our son’s 5th birthday party at Mad Science in Richmond and did the dinosaur theme with volcano add-on. It was a big hit with the kids! The instructor was great and somehow kept a room full of 4 and 5 year-olds engaged the entire time, which is no easy feat. The whole process was super easy - they provided everything, and we just brought food and drinks. I would highly recommend for an activity-based party!
