Aaira’s 4th Birthday – A Fun-Filled Science Lab Birthday party–
When it came time to celebrate Aaira’s 4th birthday, we wanted to combine her boundless curiosity with a day full of fun—She has been doing Science experiments at home since the age of 2.5-3 years and absolutely loves them…and what better way to celebrate her birthday than a “Science Lab themed” Birthday party?! From start to finish, every detail was designed to spark excitement and wonder. The decorations transformed the space into a colorful lab, complete with bubbling potions, beakers, and a science themed backdrop.
This party was not only a hit with the kids but also a memory-making adventure for everyone involved. Dive into this post for all the details on how we pulled off Aaira’s unforgettable science lab birthday. The Venue was Round Lake Park Building, Eden Prairie MN.

The Vendor
The highlight of the day was interactive science experiments by a local vendor (Stem Lab MN, Instagram- @thestemlabmn), who kept the kids mesmerized with hands-on experiments. The little scientists were enthralled by bubbling reactions, glowing liquids, and fizzy explosions that brought science to life. Aaira stole the show in her adorable science-themed outfit, complete with a tiny lab coat and goggles, as she eagerly joined in the fun.
Schedule and food
Food is obviously the most important thing at any party. Here is how our schedule and food was divided:

We placed an order for a selection of pizzas from Pizza Lucé, scheduling the delivery for 11:45am to ensure they stayed hot for everyone to enjoy. Pizza is always a crowd-pleaser at kids’ birthday parties, and we opted for gourmet pizzas to delight the adults. Additionally, we brought along red crushed pepper (chili flakes) and oregano to enhance the flavors.

Outfits play a significant role in making a birthday party even more special.
