A $200 non-refundable deposit to book your party. The remaining payment is due on the day of the party. Parties rescheduled with less than 2 weeks' notice will forfeit their deposit. Parties cancelled with less than two weeks' notice will be charged the full amount.
+What do I need to supply if I host a party at my house/location?
The Mad Scientist will need a table for their equipment. We will provide a tablecloth. We will also need access to water and electricity; we do bring water pitchers and extension cords. We will need enough space for kids to sit on the floor in front of the table. If you do not have a table, we can bring one for an additional $20.
+How far in advance do I need to book my party?
Our party schedule fills up quickly. We suggest you book well in advance to get the date and time you want. Generally, at least 4 weeks in advance is recommended. Occasionally we can accommodate a last-minute party request, give our office a call directly to inquire about availability 248-773-8570.
+Is this going to make a big ol' mess or what?
NOPE! The Mad Scientist cleans up after themselves when they are done! Our Slime, Putty, and Superball making are mess-free! You won’t even know we’ve been there – except the kids will be even happier than they were before the show!
+Is it okay to have other activities going on while the Mad Scientist is performing?
The Mad Scientist will begin at the designated start time and continue until our portion of the entertainment is finished. We will not be able to stop for other activities (i.e. food or cake). For safety reasons, we ask that no food be served during the Mad Science performance.

Yes! We do not supply food or drink, so please feel free to what you’d like to serve. Please note that we have limited facilities and cannot accommodate banquet type dining. No crockpots, toasters, or similar appliances permitted. Snack foods, cake/cupcakes, and pizza are the best options. There are many local pizza restaurants that will deliver.
