Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What time should I tell my guests to arrive?
A: Please have your guests arrive at least 30 minutes before our party is to begin. Very often guests are late which interferes with the party. Our party will begin at the start time and end at the finish time.

Q: What time will the Scientist arrive?
A: Our Scientist will arrive shortly before the party. The set-up time for our party is minimal and only takes 2-3 minutes.

Q: What about my adult guests?
A: We love parents and encourage them to attend. However, you may want to have an area for them to socialize. When the parents crowd around the tables, it is distracting to the children and difficult for our Scientist to conduct the planned activities.

Birthday Party Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Q: What time should I tell my guests to arrive?
A: Please have your guests arrive at least 30 minutes before our party is to begin. Very often guests are late which interferes with the party. Our party will begin at the start time and end at the finish time.

Q: What time will the Scientist arrive?
A: Our Scientist will arrive about 15-20 minutes before the party. The set-up time for our party only takes about 5-10 minutes.

Q: How should the birthday area/room be set up?
A: To really allow for our experiments to be totally hands-on, it is best if each child has a seat at a table. Many times the kitchen or dining room is used. We will bring disposable tablecloths to protect the tables and contain as much mess as possible. We prefer not to conduct the experiments on the floor, but some can if necessary.

Q: What about my adult guests?
A: We love parents and encourage them to attend. However, you may want to have an area for them to socialize. When the parents crowd around the tables, it is distracting to the children and difficult for our Scientist to conduct the planned activities.

Q: Do any of your programs contain food items or edible experiments?
A: Some of our programs do have edible experiments, or may contain food items. If there are any foods or substances (ex. Nuts, Eggs, Latex, etc.) that could be a potential allergen to any one of your party guests, please inform us at least one week before the party. We can certainly adapt a program to remove and replace an experiment if needed.
