Frequently Asked Questions
You must purchase online at least 14 days prior. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, and some dates may not be available at Science Central’s discretion. Email confirmations are sent after purchasing a package.
Party registration is only available online.
The deadline to receive a refund is 14 days prior to the event. No additions, subtractions, or refunds can be made after that date. A full refund will be issued if the party is cancelled at least 14 days prior to the event. To cancel your party less than 14 days before the party date or for questions, contact the Special Programs Manager at 260-424-2400 ext. 427.
If there is room, Science Central will attempt to accommodate additional unexpected guests on the day of a party. Regular, full-price admission for these guests will need to be covered by either the guest or by the person who booked the party. The unexpected guests will only receive liquid nitrogen ice cream if supplies allow. If an add-on is purchased, the additional unexpected guests may be allowed to view any private demonstration if spacing allows, but will not be able to participate if any extra activity was purchased due to limited supplies.
Party guests will check in at the admissions desk. They will receive a wristband that identifies them as party guests to Science Central staff. Depending on the party size, this process could take several minutes if all guests arrive at once. We recommend arriving early to check in. Parties are exactly three hours long. If you do not arrive early and your party starts late, we cannot reschedule or extend your time in the party room.
Science Central is not able to accommodate food allergies or special dietary needs. If you have concerns about the potential for complications during an event, plan to accommodate your own needs.
Science Central Deluxe Members get a discount on party packages.
