Throw a party they’ll remember for a lifetime!
Arizona Science Center hosts birthday parties like no other venue in town! After all, what other place lets guests walk through an enormous model of a “working” stomach, get a feel for what it’s like to be in the midst of a hurricane and also play with a Paper Airplane Launcher?
Located in downtown Phoenix within Heritage & Science Park, the Center is centrally located in the heart of the city. Our event coordinators will take care of all the details and customization so you can just sit back and enjoy yourself along with your friends and family. Trust us—we’ve got birthday party planning down to a science!
