Virtual Museum Birthday Parties

Book A Virtual Birthday Party

NONMEMBERS: $300
MEMBERS: $275
DEPOSIT: $75

Party like a Paleontologist at one of the coolest birthday parties Pittsburgh has to offer!

Get your hands dirty as we lead you and your family and friends through just some of what it takes to be a paleontologist or egyptologist at our museum! Enjoy a virtual birthday party experience from the comfort of home on Zoom with activities and party favors that everyone can enjoy.

Birthday parties are designed for kids ages 7-12 but parties can be easily modified for any age group, including adults! 

Become a Paleontologist!

  • Examine dinosaur specimens with museum educators so you know what to be on the lookout for on your next dig!
  • Get out activity supplies (these can be picked up at the museum or mailed to you at an additional cost) and we’ll take you through an experiment with fossil jacketing and why it’s so important.
  • Meet two animals from our living collection that are modern relatives of dinosaurs!
  • All parties are hosted by museum educators and include activity supplies, museum party favors for your guests, and a themed present for your birthday!

  • Meet two animals from our living collection from regions in Africa!
  • All parties are hosted by museum educators and include activity supplies, museum party favors for your guests, and a themed present for your birthday!

Add On: Animal Art Time!

PRICE: $75

Choose up to three of your favorite colors and we’ll discuss what animals are available to make their artistic debut for you!
