Birthday parties at the Ecology Centre
The Holland Park Ecology Centre offers a range of fun-filled nature themed birthday parties that will be sure to provide an enjoyable and stress-free experience for all.
Party activities
Led by a member of the Ecology Education Team, the party will take place in the Ecology Centre and the Wildlife Area where the children can take part in activities such as:
- den building
- minibeast hunting
- natural craft.
We have several pre-designed party themes you can choose from, and we are happy to discuss bespoke activities.
Party information
- Our parties are suitable for children from four to 12 years.
- The maximum number of children is 20.
- Parties are held in the Holland Park Ecology Centre and our outdoor wildlife area within Holland Park.
- Birthday parties at the Ecology Centre last for two hours, which includes exclusive use of the centre, an hour-long led outdoor activity and time for food and cake.
- Food and catering are not provided - these must be provided by you.
- You will be allocated an additional half an hour either side of the party for set-up and clear-up.
To make your child’s birthday party as sustainable as possible, we can provide reusable plastic plates, cups, forks, knives and spoons. Please think carefully about balloons, food waste and excess packaging.
