★★★★★Stephanie VasconcellosOur kids had a fantastic time at Mad Science summer camp. They went to "secret agent" week and loved learning all sorts of neat tricks that they showed off for us. They had great teachers and small groups, got to play outside, and really had a blast. Thanks for everything Mad Science!
★★★★fredricka bonnerToday was my son 8th Birthday party and we was excited to attend the mad science lab and the children was excited to do experiments. The cotton candy was great for the children. Your party is private and it was a very clean place. I would have preferred more experiments for the children to see. They are still talking about the Hoover craft and the electricity part of the party. Professor O was very energetic and his assistant was helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better party. THANKS Mad Science Lab. They offer a stove and fridge for your party which was very helpful cause you are allowed to bring your own food. The price is very fair at this location.
