NEW! BirthdayParties@theCenter
Does your child love to build? The Center for Architecture Foundation offers architecture-themed birthday parties for children ages 6 - 12. Parties are an exclusive membership privilege of Patron level Members of the Center for Architecture Foundation. Parties last for two hours and include a hands-on building activity, plus time for lunch and/or birthday cake. All food to be provided by the host.
Party Themes:
Streetscapes (ages 6+):
Party guests explore how architects use shapes to design a building’s façade. Each guest then creates his/her own building façade using pre-cut shapes and collage materials. Facades stand up to create a Happy Birthday streetscape!
Skyscrapers (ages 6+): How do the supertall towers stand up? Kids will learn about the structure and design of skyscrapers, then create their own tall towers to take home.
Build your Dream House (ages 6+): The sky’s the limit as you and your friends craft your own unique dream house models from our wide selection of craft and building materials.
City Design (ages 8+): What kind of city would you like to live in? You and your guests decide on the types of buildings and other features to include in your city, then have fun designing and building models to create your own mini metropolis on our blank city map. Guests take their 3-D models home as a party favor.
Geodesic Dome (ages 8+): Celebrate your birthday inside a 14’ geodesic dome that you and your friends have built! After completing the dome, guests build their own individual structural models from toothpicks and marshmallows to take home, based on the geometry of the dome. ** Four adults required for this program.

Program Cost: $750 (includes $150 Patron Level Membership to the Center for Architecture Foundation)
