FAQ (hint: click on green + sign for answers)
Where are parties held?
We come to you! The majority of our parties are done in peoples' homes but we have also done parties in rented venues such as community centres, libraries and recreational facilities.
+How do I book?
Call us at 403-263-4140 or email us at madscsab@telusplanet.net. Please provide your preferred dates along with your location. NOTE: Availability does change quickly. Phone calls will better guarantee that a spot is still available.
+What do I need to provide for the Mad Scientist?
The Mad Scientist will need one table (of any size) and access to an electrical outlet and water. Curtains, drapes or the ability to control the amount of bright light is suggested but is not a requirement.
+When and how do I pay?
A $100 deposit is required to make a reservation & the final payment, based on the # of children in attendance, is due the day of your party. Accepted methods of payment are cash, check, payable to Mad Science or e-transfer. Payment needs to be given to your Mad Scientist prior to them leaving. Sorry, Mad Scientists cannot accept credit cards.
+How far in advance can I book?
As far as you like! We do recommend booking at least 3 - 4 weeks in advance to get the most options for times that may be available.
+Do babies and toddlers count?
Babies & Toddles do not count in the final number of children you would be charged for on the day of your party. Children who are 3 years of age, would only be counted if they actually participated in the Mad Science portion of your party. Heads-up, most do due to the visual nature of our parties.
+Terms and Fees for Party Cancellations
*greater than 14 days - 50% of deposit is refunded. *14 days or less - deposit is non-refundable. *less than 24 hours in advance results in the full amount being payable.

Here's what parents have to say about our parties!
I just wanted to say that was an amazing birthday party! Microscope Mark was hilarious and had the kids completely engaged in the show. The laughter and excitement was indescribable. I was so happy I decided to go ahead and book with you!

Had a party for my 7 year old boy and 14 other kids. Everyone was so into the program and was astonished with the stuff Alyssa presented. Not only the kids were amazed but the grown ups too. So worth the money and will look into other programs they have. They were punctual and the program ran smoothly. I recommend them for birthday parties and other gatherings.

We were so impressed with our party. Parisa was on time and super friendly. She managed to not only keep the attention of 18 rambunctious kids; but, also amaze and educate them as well. Thank you so much for making our son’s 8th birthday so much fun.
