Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center Birthday Parties
Slither into the swamp for a nature-themed birthday party complete with live animal encounters! Parties may follow a specific theme (i.e. snakes, turtles, alligators, birds, bugs) or a general swamp theme.

Party guests may then have food, cake and open presents for the remainder of the time.

Indoor Rock Climbing
It’s time to Up your party game. Challenge both the mind and the body while having a blast. Rock climbing delivers a one-of-a-kind experience while enhancing coordination and problem solving skills, and instilling confidence and a sense of accomplishment in kids. Get UP!
All parties are staffed and include our party room rental, paper plates, cups, utensils, harnesses, and a birthday shirt (or Nalgene) for the birthday boy or girl! The structure of the party is typically two 45-minute, staff-assisted (~1 staff/ 5 climbers) climbing sessions with a 30-minute party time break in between! Parties are for climbers 7 and older ONLY. Second grade (or turning 8 parties) is a good rule of thumb to ensure invited friends are also 7+.
