Make Their Birthday Take Flight!

Birthday Parties at the Joe Clark Innovation Lab

Looking for a birthday party that’s anything but ordinary? Celebrate your child’s special day at the Joe Clark Innovation Lab at the National Aviation Hall of Fame!

Our hands-on Innovation Lab is the perfect place for curious kids to build, experiment, create, and explore. With aviation and aerospace -inspired STEM activities and plenty of opportunities for discovery, we make learning part of the fun!

Choose a theme your child will love! From aviation and flight to space exploration and creative STEM challenges, we offer a variety of themes and can work with you to customize an experience around your child’s interests.

What’s Included?

  • Hands-On STEM Activities: Kids will explore interactive, aviation-themed STEM stations designed for young minds. They might build simple flying machines, test parachutes in our wind tunnels, or experiment with the science of flight through fun, age-appropriate challenges.
  • Creative Play and Discovery: The Innovation Lab is a place where imagination takes flight! Kids can build, experiment, solve problems, and discover the excitement of learning through play.
  • Time to Celebrate!: Every birthday is a celebration. We’ll provide time for birthday treats, snacks, singing “Happy Birthday,” and  gifts. A designated gift table will be ready for your celebration, and party favors are included for guests to take home.
  • Personalized Party Touches: We’ll help make the day special with decorations, personalized signage, and activity sheets created for your celebration.
  • An Educator to Lead the Fun: A Joe Clark Innovation Lab educator will guide the hands-on activities, encourage exploration, and help kids discover the science and excitement behind flight.
    Space for Your Refreshments: We’ll have a table ready for the birthday treats, snacks, and drinks you provide.
  • More Museum Adventures: The celebration doesn’t have to end when the party does! Afterward, families are welcome to explore the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, where admission is free.
