Hosting a birthday party at The Art Box is a guarantee that your child will have a unique experience. Each of our packages includes a private rental and a theme/activity designed just for your little birthday child. Each party is individualized, and we can accommodate for any sized event.


Here are the most asked questions about a birthday party at The Art Box!


1) Can we bring our own food and drink?

Yes, absolutely! we have 3 tables ready for you to fill with cupcakes, cake, ice cream, pizza or any buffet style food. If you are serving a meal, It is best to put food out on the tables just before guests arrive. Some will arrive hungry and ready for a snack. Cake can be served at the end of the party, so you will have ample time to eat throughout the party.


2) Do you have highchairs and booster seats available for use?

We do now! We have 3 highchairs and booster seats available for use during your party.


3) Do you have a freezer or ice? We do not. We do have a cooler available you are welcome to use but you must provide the ice.


4) When can I arrive for set up?

You can arrive 30 minutes before your party begins to set up, and our party assistant can help.


5) Will I have to worry about other parties or customers in the facility during my event?

No way! ALL our parties include complete private rental of our entire facility!


6) Can I drop off my decorations for you to set up before the party?

Yes! We love setting up for parties and want you to be able to truly enjoy your child's special day and want it to be as simple as possible. Please drop off your decorations in a box labeled with your last name and date and any instructions you may have.


7) Are there drinks available during our party?

Yes, we provide iced water and hot coffee for you and your guests to enjoy while at your party.


8) Will my guests be required to wear socks?

If your guests plan to play in the play lab they will need to remove shoes and wear socks. We do have shoe covers available if any guests cannot remove shoes for medical reasons.

(Play Lab opens June 2023)


9) Is there something for the children to do during the party?

Yes, older children who are attending a paint or specialty art party will be fully engaged during the party. We will provide activities for them throughout the 2 hour time slot and will allow time for cake and gifts at the end of the party.


10) What is the age limit for the Play Lab?

Children ages 0-8 may play in the play lab. Children 0-3 may play in the toddler area. Children ages 8 and older may NOT play in the play lab. This is for safety reasons and to respect the space and integrity of the play equipment.

🎨 Art at Wonder Academy – Parent FAQ

Q: Is art included in the elementary school program?

Yes! At Wonder Academy, we believe creativity is a vital part of learning. All elementary students participate in daily core art classes as part of their regular school day. These classes are process-based and integrated with other subjects like science, literacy, and social studies.

Q: What’s the difference between core art and specialty art classes?

Core art happens daily and is included in tuition. It’s designed to give every student a strong foundation in creativity, technique, and self-expression.

Specialty art classes are optional after-school or weekend workshops that focus on fun, themed experiences like Adopt a Pet, Wizards & Wands, or To Infinity and Beyond. These are separate from the school day and open to both Wonder Academy students and the broader community.

Q: Do I have to sign my child up for specialty classes?

Nope! Specialty classes are completely optional. They’re great for kids who want to explore more advanced techniques or enjoy extra time creating. If your child already gets their art fix during the day, you’re all set!

Q: Are there discounts for enrolled students?

Yes! Wonder Academy families often receive a discounted rate for specialty classes as a thank-you for being part of our school community.
