Do the party goers get to keep what they build?
At our birthday parties, while the party goers don’t get to keep what they build, we encourage parents to capture the fun-filled moments with plenty of pictures. Our carefully curated kits include unique and traditional bricks, as well as electronic components for motorized themes. These kits allow your child and their guests to create extraordinary, creative builds and even working machines or functioning robots, depending on the chosen theme. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of the kits, ranging from $100 to $250 per kit depending on the theme, we cannot send the building projects home. However, we offer goodie bags with mini building block sets as an optional add-on, so you can still send the kids home with a special gift to continue their building adventures.
What extras do you offer?
We offer goodie bags for parties at the Hershey Gardens location. Click here to see all the details.
