Birthday Parties
If you are looking for a birthday party venue that is unique, fun, interactive, educational and promotes imaginative play, then the Brunk Children’s Museum of Immigration is what you are searching for! Children and adults alike will enjoy exploring everything from Vikings to visionaries. Play in our Swedish farmhouse and pioneer cabin, set sail on a steamship, take a journey to the Moon and much more!
Parties include free admission to guests during the party, 1.5 hours of party time, private use of the classroom adjacent to the Children’s Museum, and a birthday party docent (two for private parties). Renters receive one half hour before the birthday party to set up and one half hour after to clean up. The host will be charged $100 for every hour that they or party guests are on the
premises after designated time.
