Birthday Parties

 

Hi and Thanks for looking at parties at the National Dinosaur Museum!

Here are some helpful tips and all the information files you will need to create a great Party with the Dinosaurs:

• Party Brochure
• Terms and Conditions
• Party Planner / Booking Request Form

To book a party it is best if you go through each step:

Step 1 – Read the Terms and Conditions!

Our parties may not be for everyone, so it is a good idea to carefully read our Terms and Conditions before booking a party. They will let you know what we provide and how we provide it – and also let you know what we cannot provide. We require initialling and a signature on all the T&C by one of the Supervising parents.

NOTE: Unfortunately we have had to limit parties to a maximum of 15 children attending.

Step 2 – Now that you have decided that you want to party with the Dinosaurs; choose your date and time!

Our places are limited, so give us a ring on (02) 6230 2655 to check the availibity for your chosen day. We run birthday parties on weekends in one of three time slots:

• 11:00am
• 1:30pm
• 4:00pm*

* If you choose this time you have the added option of doing the Dinosaurs at Night Tour which takes place by the light of the Guide's torch and special night lights. (Not recommended for children under 7 years.)

Step 3 – Choose a Party Style from our 5 different party types:

• the Hatchling Party (for young children),
• the Dinosaur Party,
• the Fairydactyl Party,
• the Pirate-O-Saurus Party and
• the Dino Detective Party (for older children).

See the brochure for full party details. All the parties run for 1.5 hours, except for the Hatchling party which runs for 1 hour.

Step 4 – Select any extra balloons or invitations from our selection.

Step 5 – Add any extra activities if you wish to.

A full list of extra activities along with their prices per person and the suggested age recommendations can be found in the Party Brochure.

Step 6 – Choose a Catering Package

Either leave the party un-catered or buy an extra half hour and select to cater yourself, buy a cold food package or a hot food package. For prices and full food see the Brochure.

If you would like to include food in the party then you will need to purchase an extra half an hour, despite whether you are catering for yourself or we are catering for you. This cost covers the Party Host, the Room and cleaning after the party.

Please note that if you have children with serious allergies at the party, you will need to provide your own catering. Our suppliers cannot guarantee that our food is free of traces of nuts, dairy, gluten etc., and so it is safer for you to provide your own food. This gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what your children are eating, and lessens the risks of life-threatening reactions.

Step 7 – Choose a Room:

If you have chosen to include an extra half hour for the children to eat, choose either the Dinosaur Room or the Prehistoric Ocean Room for them to eat in.

 

Now that you have made all your choices, return your completed Booking Sheet and T&C to us by email to admin@nationaldinosaurmuseum.com.au or fax it to us on (02) 6230 2357 or bring it with you if you stop by in person.

 

Thanks for helping us to help you create a wonderful party experience for your child.
