★★★★★Natasha OhtaSuch an amazing experience for my 5 years old’s birthday! I called Karla very last minute and she was able to make our party happen (even including an unexpected change the date of the event!) She was extremely responsive and worked with the venue to submit all the necessary documents in a timely manner! On the actual day, the scientist arrived on time and had the tough task of keeping a room full of 25 four and five year olds engaged and she also did amazing! I also love that the packages were quite flexible allowing us to invite her whole classroom and include sibling without stressing about the final count. Definitely recommend this company for any birthday party!! Thank you for a memorable experience!!!
★★★★★Melissa BurkeMy 2nd grade daughter loves it! I enjoy seeing her come home about science and the experiments she's getting to do.
★★★★★Caitlin JudgeMad Science was a hit for my daughter’s 6th birthday. They kept the attention of 40+ kids for over an hour, and the kids and parents raved about what a great party it was. Thanks!
★★★★★ross millerKids need all of the STEM activities they can get to experience, and we are glad to have a fun program to enroll our daughter in. Helping kids understand science is crucial for solving some of the biggest problems facing the world right now.
★★★★★Rocio AlejandroThis is an amazing educational program! My 5 year old daughter is interested in science. So for summer she wanted science camp. We live in Costa Mesa, and luckily, we found a camp with Fountain Valley! We signed her up for a 3 day camp back in July, and she had so much fun learning that she wanted to go back! So, I signed her up for another week in August at the Fountain Valley Rec Center. The instructors were so nice, fun, and enthusiastic about science, I wish I had a name. Thank you, MadScience. I will keep an eye out for future camps in West OC.
