Children will find a celebration at the National Museum of Transportation to be fun and filled with activity. Let us help you enjoy your day!
The Creation Station
For children 1-5 years old, our Creation Station Party is a perfect place to celebrate your child’s big day! Your private host/hostess will organize each detail to ensure your event runs smoothly.
Parties include: 90-minutes of exclusive Creation Station playtime, museum admission, snack sacks, party bags, helium balloon for each child, a special gift for the birthday child, and all paper products. (Our 11:00 party includes an all-beef hotdog for each child guest.)
