Let your child transform into his or her favorite superhero for a day at Kidville's Superhero Birthday Bash. The party begins with a warm-up at the interactive building blocks and Play-Doh stations, where your child's name will be spelled out entirely in dough. The kids then gear up for the adventure ahead by making superhero masks and capes. Once they're suited up, they move to the training station to learn how to shoot webs through hoops, knock down walls, navigate an obstacle course in a superhero car, and take to the air in their new cape on Kidville's zip line. Then it's food time (little heroes need energy, after all). The party includes exclusive access to the play space, decor, staff, setup and cleanup, cake, favors, and invitations. 

Long Island Children’s Museum — Garden City
11 Davis Avenue
LICM’s superhero party lets your child and friends make their own clever disguises and fight imaginary villains who are plaguing the museum—all with the help of a friendly museum host to guide the activities and play. Parties are 1.5 to 2 hours and include a private party room, staff, setup and cleanup, invitations, paper goods, and a two-for-one coupon for a return visit. Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Long Island Puppet Theatre  — Hicksville
10 Heitz Place
Though the superhero party here doesn't involve puppets, kids will have a blast in the theater playing superhero games custom-tailored to your child and his or her favorite hero. Past parties have included a training program for powers and alter egos, freeze tag, and a scavenger hunt for fake kryptonite hidden around the theater. The 2.5-hour party includes tattoos and dancing, one superhero-costumed character guest, and a host to lead the fun.

Once Upon a Sundae — Rockville Centre
20 S. Village Avenue
For little heroes who need a good dose of ice cream to complete their transformation, head over to Once Upon a Sundae, which provides superhero costumes and tattoos (for boys and girls) for their sundae-themed birthday parties. Kids will also complete a take-home craft (ceramic painting or painting on hand puppets or aprons) and will have plenty of time to try out their new identities in the open play space, which includes a chalkboard, slide, and Lego table. Parties are an hour and 45 minutes and include invitations and pizza (as well as plenty of ice cream and fixings!). Add-ons are also available to make your child's party truly super-duper.
