Birthday Party @ the Montshire

We have Birthday Parties down to a Science!

When:

Saturdays and Sundays

• 10:00-12:00
• 12:30-2:30
• 3:00-5:00

Exact dates subject to availability. Available inventory is limited to three months at a time.

Cost:

MONTSHIRE MEMBERS: $300 

NON-MEMBERS: $340

The reservation includes tickets for 20 people. Everyone needs a ticket to attend the party: birthday person, mother of the birthday person, best friend of the birthday person, children, adults, members and nonmembers (birthday party admission is not a benefit of membership). The only exception are children under 2--they do not need a ticket, bring as many as you like. Five additional admissions may be purchased for $17 each, up to a maximum of 25 total party people. We require one adult for every seven children at the party, and adults who drop off young party guests are welcome to join the party 15 minutes prior to the conclusion without needing a ticket.
