Des Moines Children’s Museum

Private parties are scheduled outside regular museum hours and include a 2-hour reservation of our exhibit space and one party room.  The museum will not be open to the public during the reservation, and the party room and museum exhibits are sanitized between groups.  

Party hosts may arrive up to 30 minutes before your start time to set up and stay up to 30 minutes past your end time to pack up.   You will not be able to enter the museum more than  30 minutes before your start time and must have fully exited the museum by 30 minutes after the end of your reservation to allow us enough time to sanitize between parties.
