Parties are 2 hours of science-based fun and entertainment at the coolest party venue in Rhode Island! In general, the first hour is science-based interactive fun based on the party theme you choose (with additional time added for any optional extras listed below). The remaining time (usually 20-30 minutes) is for celebrations with family and friends!
Bring your own cake! Or cupcakes! Or pizza! The choice is yours! -- You will have a 3' x 6' table for your Food/Gifts/Decorations - it will be covered with newsprint which can be written on but other tablecloths are welcome too!
SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY is always encouraged!
Parties at Pow! Science! cost $195.00 for up to 15 kids, then $5.00 per extra child up to a maximum of 25!
Note: A non-refundable deposit of $50.00 is required when booking a party in our Activity Center.
Please call 401-788-1024 to book your on-site party or if you have any questions!
Activity Center - The paper-covered table against the wall (left) will be yours to decorate and/or fill with cake, cookies, pizza... Children will sit at tables placed down the center of the room (more tables will be added based on the number of children). The Chalkboard (now blank) will have your Child's name written on it!
Activity Center - Around the edge of the room are a few adult-sized chairs for parents/grandparents but many adults will probably stand/mingle. Adults are free to move around the store during the party but the kids remain in the room. The toys are for use before/after the party. The room is "enclosed" - it is yours during your child's Birthday Party!
Activity Center (Not pictured) - A bathroom is available for use during the party for party guests only.

Appropriate for kids turning 5 to turning 8
Color-changing chemistry, color mixing, and bubbling beakers are just part of the fun! Kids create a gooey blob of brightly colored GOOEY SLIME to take home, and the birthday child performs an amazing Science Magic Trick right before everyone's eyes!
The glue used to make slime is Gluten-Free.
A single Latex Balloon is used during a demonstration at this party.
Big Kid Chemistry! Let's Blow Stuff Up! Appropriate for kids turning 8 and older.
Soda Geysers, mysteriously floating bags, and the weirdest bar of science soap you've ever seen kick off the sequel to our most popular program ever - Alchemical Chemistry!

The action never lets up as we finish it off by sending film canisters (remember those?) into high-flying orbit, like mini-rockets, shooting all over the place!

A single Latex Balloon is used during a demonstration at this party.
Build bridges, build castles, build towers to the sky! Appropriate for kids turning 5 to kids turning 12 (we can scale the complexity of the building projects to suit the age of the children attending).
Building is an activity that all kids love, and at the Citiblocs Block Party, the sky is literally the limit! We'll show the kids how to play games and use precision-cut wooden blocks in creative and innovative ways that will have them wishing the party would never end! Think your kids are past playing with blocks? Give ours a try!!

Party like a Parasaurolophus! Appropriate for kids turning 5 to turning 8.

Party prehistoric style!
The Volcano Party! Appropriate for kids turning 7 and up.
Earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions! Kids model and demonstrate the phenomena that shape our ever-changing planet while learning about plate tectonics, meteorology, and more! Every participant takes home their own eruptable Volcano!
The Earthquake Experiment performed during "Dynamic Earth" uses a Milky Way candy bar. Milky Way bars DO NOT CONTAIN Peanut products, but since they are manufactured in the same facility as Snickers (which do contain peanuts), we would like to bring this to your attention.
As a rule, our instructors do NOT allow any participants, even those without allergies, to eat the Milky Way.
Fizzing, Foaming, Bubbling Reactions, and MORE! Appropriate for kids turning 4 to kids turning 6.
It's everything kids want from a "Science" party! This includes real test tubes and flasks along with mysterious potions that foam and bubble! We also play a "bug hunt" game and learn about natural selection. Fizz... Bubble... POW!... Science!
As there is no "Take-Home" item made during this party, Goodie Bags are included in your party price!
Let's Get Building! Appropriate for kids turning 7 and up.
Each participant will build the custom-designed Pow! Science Zipline Runner*!
Even seasoned LEGO Veterans will love the simple but innovative Zipline Runner we've designed for this party. Each participant will build their own Zipline Runner, and zzzZZZZIP them down the line at high speed! Young Engineers will then divide and conquer, building a Straws and Connectors Tower that reaches up, up -and over the Zipline, creating a tunnel for Zipline Runners to fly through!
"The LEGO Party" is one of our newest themes and it's getting everyone very excited.
Did we mention that as a bonus building project we'll make and spin the World's Easiest LEGO Battle Top? Less than 10 seconds to build! Incredible spin times!!
Unlike our other themes, most of the time during this party the kids are up and moving around the room excitedly. This party tends to be a little noisier than our other party themes, and we welcome fun-spirited parents who want to join the action and help keep the Zipline Runners Zipping!
As there is no "Take-Home" item made during this party, Goodie Bags are included in your party price!
Experience the Softer Side of Science with these Aromatic Experiments! Appropriate for kids turning 7 and up.

Worried if your boy guests will have a good time at this party? Don't be! The chemistry experiments here don't pull any punches!
Be a Spy! Appropriate for kids turning 8 and up.
Spies in training will learn to code make and break, and take a record of their own fingerprints! Secret Agents in the Making will also perform an exciting Chemistry Experiment to test their powers of observation.
Comfortable reading and writing skills are necessary for this party.

Q: What Should I bring?
A: Cake & refreshments & paper goods(cups, plates, napkins, etc), and candles. We have a "dorm room" sized refrigerator (short cube-shaped) to keep juice boxes, Hoodsie cups, etc. cold. Keeps ice cream frozen. Does not fit Ice Cream Cakes!
Q: When can I arrive?
A: Please plan to arrive about 15 minutes prior to the start of your party. This makes sure that we have time to prepare the party room for you and your guests including cleaning up from the party before yours!
Q: Wow, my party's Science Instructor is AMAZING!! Can I tip him or her?
A: Sure! We certainly encourage tipping your instructor if you feel they did a great job! You can tip them directly or we can even add it to your party balance at the registers.
Q: Any restrictions on what sort of food I may bring?
A: Almost none. It's your party. Bring whatever you like; no alcoholic beverages are permitted.
Q: Do you charge for adults? What about toddlers?
A: We absolutely do NOT charge for adults! Toddlers are generally not counted towards your headcount unless they participate in the experiments. For example, at the 'Volcano' Party, we count volcanoes at the end. Whoever made one gets counted.
Q: Should I bring a tablecloth?
A: Only if your child wants a certain theme (Spiderman, Star Wars, etc). The party tables are covered with heavy white craft paper during the science experiments. We remove the paper and sanitize the tables after the Science & before you serve the refreshments. The tables are brightly colored plastic and don't need to be covered.
Q: What about Goodie Bags?
A: You can certainly bring your own, but we also provide them as an add-on service with the Candy Blaster! Each participant receives a bag pre-loaded with sciencey goodies (such as rainbow glasses, glowing lizards, globe keychains, bouncy balls, punch balloons, etc) and then we play with the Candy Blaster!
