Special Notes

CNC birthday parties are drop-off programs. Adult chaperones who have dropped off a party guest can use their party invitation to gain free admission to the Nature Center grounds. The physical invitation must be presented at the admissions desk in order to gain entry. After dropping their child off at the birthday party, adults can explore the grounds on their own, then return to pick up their child at the end of the party.

If an adult chaperone chooses to remain with the party group, they will be counted as a party guest.

Pricing Details

CNC members receive 10% off the base price of a birthday party package.

The party package base price covers up to 12 guests (adults and children). Each additional guest is priced at $12 per person.

A final count of guests will be taken on the day of the program. Charges for additional guests over 12 will be assessed after the program has occurred.

The maximum number of guests that we can accommodate is 20. An additional fee of $25 will be assessed for each participant that exceeds the 20 guest maximum.

The birthday child and up to 2 guardians or family members are free and do not count towards the guest total.
