Powered by GoogleI had a party with 17 kids and it went great. My son felt super special getting to wear the lab coat and always had him start the experiments and all the kids were able to be involved. They made they're own slime and got to take it home. We did the dry ice add on and I think that was the highlight. 10/10 recommend. We did the che-mystery
My 5 year old did 1 week of summer camp here. They did really cool experiments, he had safe access to participate in some really neat dissections and chemical reactions. He was always really excited about telling us about his day and showing us his work. I would definitely recommend this summer camp, a great escape from the heat and more educational than other options.
Incredible, Hands-On Mad Science Little Scientist Birthday PartyHighly Recommend! There’s a good reason for 5 start review. We recently hosted a Mad Science birthday party for a 4 turning 5, and this review is long overdue because it was truly such a wonderful experience from start to finish. As a mom of two toddler boys and a baby, I wanted something fun, hands-on, and easy to manageand Mad Science really delivered. We had about 24 kids attend, most of them preschoolelementary age, and every single one was engaged the entire time. From the moment I first called to inquire, Randi was amazing—she answered all my questions so quickly and clearly. I had lots of questions (sizes, activities, changes, add-ons), and every time I reached out—even just a couple of weeks before the party—they were flexible and super responsive, always replying the same day. That alone made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They also offer several different add-on options, and we chose to include the Cotton Candy add-on—which we’re so glad we did! It was an additional cost, but absolutely worth it. The kids absolutely loved it, and the serving size was perfect. They even allow you to tip your science instructor, which is a nice option to show appreciation. Ours absolutely earned it! We chose the chemistry-themed workshop, and the kids loved it! The slime-making part was a huge hit. We didn’t opt for the gift bags since we had our own favors, but we bought mini lab kits with goggles from Amazon, which were a hit. One child even said, “Wow, we get to keep these?” The experience included five hands-on experiments, which made the one-hour session feel packed with fun. I won’t spoil all of them, but they included a cool color-changing activity, something fizzy in a cup, elephant toothpaste, and of course, slime and cotton candy. The variety kept the kids curious and excited the whole time. We loved the workshop-style format because it allowed the kids to participate and feel like real scientists. Our lead scientist, Cupid, was phenomenal—she actually majored in chemistry and brought real knowledge and enthusiasm to the table. She explained things clearly, made it fun, and helped each child feel included. The kids got to personalize their slime and cotton candy by choosing their own colors, which added a special touch. The birthday child also receives a lab coat as part of the party package, which was a really fun touch. Ours was very excited about it—even though the material wasn’t the best quality, it still added to the fun. A few small notes we shared in our feedback: • The lab coat could be improved in quality. • It would be great if they had a flyer or QR code on hand, because several parents wanted to know more right away. • For larger parties (like ours with 24+ kids), it helps to have a little more setup time beforehand to make the transitions smoother especially with younger kids. You can host ast your place we opties for a community space. I recommend checking with your local parks and recs. They don’t charge upfront—they checked in with us after the party to confirm everything went well before processing payment. That level of trust and professionalism meant a lot. They also requested feedback afterward and were very open and receptive to all of our suggestions. It really felt like they cared about making the experience better and better for every family that books. All in all, for about $300, we got a super memorable, educational, and fun party that our son and his friends will be talking about for a while. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a fun and engaging science party. Thank you again to the Mad Science team for such an unforgettable birthday experience! God bless these amazing scientist.
We hosted a science party with Mad Science for my daugher's 6th birthday. Everything went great! They were on time, professional and knowledgeable. The Scientist kept the attention of the children for a full hour & everyone was engaged. I would highly recommend Mad Science for a birthday party!
Ashley "Volcanic Ash" and Ann "Thropology" were fantastic! They were incredibly professional and engaged the kids completely without being overwhelming or too showy. My just turning 6-year-old son and all his friends loved the entire hour experience! It was a wonderful party.
