Join the Long Island Children’s Museum for a party 25 years in the making. The Children’s Museum will kick off the celebration of its silver birthday with the “Ultimate Birthday Bash” on November 17-18.

Guests will be able to explore the traditions behind birthday celebrations around the world, from candles to gifts and party food. Activities will also explore the color silver’s connection to the number 25 and the night sky’s role as a birthday calendar. LICM will also introduce visitors to the accomplishments of a 25-year-old Nobel Laureate. Guests will also have a chance to work alongside visual artists Mica Angela Hendricks and Brooks Frederick to create a 25 sq. ft. collaborative painting.

Throughout the day families will be entertained by jugglers and clowns, cultural music and GRAMMY winner, Danny Weinkauf and the Red Pants Band. Kids can stop by the face painting station to add some flair before they hit the dance floor where DJ Mike will be spinning some birthday favorites. Enjoy cake and birthday treats to cap off the party.

The Ultimate Birthday Bash kicks off 25 weeks of special events, themed workshops and deals and discounts highlighting the Museum’s 25-year history. The Museum will open its doors on those days from noon- 5 p.m. for this special event. A pay-one-price ticket covers admission, treats and all activity fees for the day.
