Does the guest count include both children and adults?
The guest count includes anyone age 3 or older. Additional guests may be added for a fee to all packages except for the lab experience in the Lab Party Package, which is limited to 25 people.
What if I have guests who RSVP at the last minute?
You can pay for those guests when you check in for your party at the Membership Desk.
Is there a host in the room?
The Tech does not provide a full-time staff member in the party room, but a membership associate will be available should you need assistance.
What if some of my party guests are members of The Tech?
With the exception of attendance at the labs, for which there is a 25-guest maximum, members of The Tech will not be counted among your 25 guests.
Are parents of the birthday child included in the guest count?
Yes, unless they are members of The Tech.
Do you have a refrigerator to store a cake?
Yes, a fridge and freezer are available. We are happy to store your items and then retrieve them for you as needed.
Do I have to be a member to book a birthday party at The Tech?
No. Members receive a $50 discount, but parties are available to all.
Do you provide catering?
Party prices do not include catering. Our on-site restaurant, The Tech Cafe, offers catering, and we also have a list of preferred caterers. You may also provide your own catering. Please inquire about catering when you book.
How far in advance do I need to make my reservation?
To reserve your birthday party we need at least one week’s notice for our Basic and IMAX packages and three weeks’ notice for our Lab and All-Inclusive packages. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your party.
When does the balance and final head count need to be paid?
The final balance should be paid no later than the day of your party. We will need your final head count (both children and adults) no later than the Wednesday before your party.
What supplies do I need to bring?
The Tech will provide tables, chairs, tablecloths, napkins, plates and forks. You will need to bring serving utensils, a cake knife, candles, lighter/matches and room decorations.
Where can we unload our supplies and park?
You can unload in front of our Group Entrance at the corner of South Market St. and Park Ave. We can provide a cart and assist with your load-in. Just across the street is the CityView Plaza Garage where you can park. With validation, only available on weekends, the cost is $5.
