How many children can come to my science party?
Between 10 and 20 works best, as the children get to be really involved. There is no maximum number, but there is an additional charge of £5 for each child over the recommended 20.
If you are unsure at time of booking, we can add any additional charge to your balance closer to the party date. However, If you are expecting 35+ we would be grateful if you could notify us as early as possible, as we may need to provide extra entertainers or order additional materials.
​
What is the perfect age range for the science party?
Our parties can be altered to entertain ages anywhere from 4 to 10 (and we like to think the grown-ups enjoy it too!). Just let us know the birthday you’re celebrating, and we can make sure that your little scientist gets the best show for them.
If your child and their friends are 3 years old turning 4 please let us know when booking, as we may need to create something more specific for them, and please note that each children of 3 years and below must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

No, it's best to contact us as early as you can so we can let you know when we're available. It can be easier to book the Einstein’s Entertainers science party first and then confirm the venue afterwards.
