Children's birthday party in the Botanical Garden
Send out the invites to an expedition in the natural world and give the friends an experience out of the ordinary. Children’s birthday parties in the Botanical Garden can be booked in the periods April – June and August – September.
In the company of one of the museum’s hosts, the birthday kid and -guests are invited on an expedition in the Botanical Garden. We will open the big expedition box, which contains real scientific objects from near and far and sets the stage for a story about scientists and explorers, field investigations and collections.
Together we will explore the old, botanical garden, where the children will discover and examine the plants’ wonderful world. We will get all the senses in play and dive into topics such as medical, poisonous and eatable plants, pollination, seed dispersal and flowers’ adaptation to life in water.
The expedition will end in the Botanist’s workshop, where the children will make their own botanical souvenir to bring home.
The expedition includes
- An evocative introduction to expeditions and journeys of discovery (approx. 15 min.).
- Expedition in the Botanical Garden – a special guided tour on the children’s terms (approx. 45 min).
- Workshop in the Botanist’s workshop, where we will do creative botanical activities (approx. 30 min).
- Private birthday table in the Public Engagement Greenhouse or the outdoor pavilions, where you can set the table for the hungry expedition participants and celebrate the birthday kid (1 hour).*
*Birthday celebrations starting 13.00 will begin with the celebrations at the birthday table, and afterwards move on to introduction to journeys of discovery, expedition and workshop.
