The York Area Children's Museum is a non-profit organization for the benefit and education of children. It would not be possible without the many volunteers and donations throughout the years. In fact, the museum is staffed nearly 100% by volunteers.

In order to accommodate the many requests for birthday parties we are requiring that the adult responsible for the party be trained as a volunteer at the museum. The responsible adult would then be allowed to open and close the musem for his/her child's party.

Please contact one of our staffing coordinators at least two weeks prior to the planned event so that we can confirm that the date/time are available. In addition, we will need time to coordinate a training session.

Staffing Coordinators:

Tricia Hirschfeld 402-728-5224
Laurie Stuckey 402-724-2543

Additional Information:

Cost: $1.00 per attendee regardless of age with a minimum fee of $30.00.

There must be one adult age 16 or older for every five children in attendance. Regular capacity limits apply.

We request that you keep food and drink confined to the tables in the craft room. You will be responsible for damages and cleaning if any should occur during your party.

For more information or to schedule a birthday party at the York Area Children's Museum, please contact Tricia Hirschfeld at 402-728-5224 or Laurie Stuckey at 402-724-2543.

We would be happy to answer your questions and hope you'll come see us at the museum!
