Celebrate your child’s birthday in space! Birthday party guests will enjoy one hour of free exploration time in the AJ Read Science Discovery Center, and then will enjoy a custom planetarium show! Planetarium show length can vary anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour, based on the attention span of the partygoers. After the planetarium show, we will provide you space with tables and chairs to enjoy cake, pizza, presents, or whatever you please! We do not provide paper plates, cutlery, decorations, food, or cake. All must be brought in. You will be responsible for sweeping clean the party area afterwards. We provide a broom and dustpan.
We offer birthday parties on a "pay what you can" basis with a sliding scale of $50-$150. Please select the amount you are able to pay during booking and we will send you a link to pay online.
The A.J. Read Science Discovery Center has been connecting visitors of all ages and abilities to the joy of scientific discovery since 1988. Located in the Physical Science Building on campus, this free, hands-on museum has interactive exhibits, live demonstrations and exciting special events and programming. The Science Discovery Center is open to the public five days a week and accepting reservations for school, scout and other group visits.
SUNY Oneonta’s planetarium, located in the basement of Perna Science Building, has been presenting live shows under its dome for more than 50 years. Thanks to the planetarium's state-of-the-art digital projection system, visitors can enjoy amazing views of constellations in the night sky, take a trip to the other side of the galaxy and back, or watch a full-dome simulation or movie.
