Puppet Show Birthday Parties
A puppet show birthday party is a birthday party your child (and their friends!) will never forget!
You and your guests will enjoy a private puppet show in our kid-friendly theater, one of Boston’s best kids birthday party venues! After the show, head to our colorful, kid-friendly lobby for cake, pizza, and presents. And, we make things easy by doing all the clean-up, so you can head home when the festivities are over.
We are proud to have been named “Best Kids’ Birthday Venue” by Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston and Boston Parents Paper’s Boston Family Favorites.
