Pre-School Birthday Parties
Ages 1-5
Our award-winning shark petting party is now adapted for littles!
Fun and educational, this is a birthday party your child will never forget. Our 1 1/2 hour party includes petting tide pool creatures, horseshoe crabs, and of course, our sharks. We run the whole party for you; just bring the cake, food and paper goods. You can also have pizza delivered (menu is attached to confirmation form).
Pre-school parties offer you a private venue to host your child’s birthday party, and are geared towards both the guest children and their accompanying parents. As usual, the entire building is reserved just for your group, and this format offers plenty of time to explore. We will do three feeding demonstrations, including our tortoise, sharks and rays, and horseshoe crabs.
Please note that for the safety of our animals,children must have an adult with them at all times.: During the guided tour segment all guests are expected to join the staff member’s presentation.
Private building rentals for birthday parties are 1 1/2 hours. Parties that go over the time limit will be charged an additional $50. Please note: additional half hour may not be added to your party prior to event.
Price: $450 ($425 members).

Please no pinatas, noise-makers, confetti, or live fish as favors. Bins will be provided for gifts at the door. Gifts are not to be opened at the center.
Balloon Policy: You are welcome to bring in balloons, however we ask that they be helium and bundled. Scattered balloons on the floor break easily and can introduce pieces of latex into our exhibits.
With over 100 different species of animals, we take the comfort and safety of our animals very seriously. The following rules should be followed at all times (anyone repeatedly breaking rules will be asked to leave).
Rules:
Hand sanitizers are highly toxic to fish and invertebrates and are strictly banned from our building. Hand washing should only be done at the end of the visit or when directed by the instructor (bathroom use excepted, of course).
Repeated washing will introduce soap into the exhibits.
Children should use indoor voices at all times. There is absolutely no running in the building. Biomes is not a playground, so to keep guests and animals safe, these rules will be adhered to.
Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
