Birthday Parties
The Please Touch Museum Birthday experience is one your child, family and friends will never forget. Since our party slots fill quickly, we urge you to call at least two months in advance of the actual date you have in mind. Please call our reservationist at (215) 963-0667, ext 3123 for answers to all your questions about Please Touch Museum birthday parties.
Each party will run 2 hours and includes the following options:
- A coronation ceremony of the Birthday Child

- Decorating birthday crowns for all children participating in the party
- Games, stories and activities
- Party invitation postcards
- Present for the birthday child
- Paper goods including: cups, plates, napkins, spoons and placemats
