Rainbow Party in a Box

Bubbles, rockets, and rainbow science, all in a box. You pick it up. The kids take it from there.

Everything You Need for a Little Magic

No magic wand required. Just science. Every station is a party on its own. Put them together and your backyard turns into a science festival.

A bubble machine on a table fills the air with bubbles

Bubble machine

A bubble blizzard on demand. Toddlers chase, big kids pop, grown-ups pretend they’re not having fun.

Sneaky skills: tracking, reaching, timing

Giant bubble wands

Dip, lift, wave. The wands stand in their own tubes of solution, right where little hands can reach.

Sneaky skills: reaching, two-hand teamwork, slow and steady

How it works

Request your weekendTell us your date, your kit and add-ons, and roughly how many kids. A $100 deposit holds your date and goes toward your total.
Pick up your boxesGrab everything in Mountain View, then set it up yourself.
Party, then rinseReturn everything rinsed. That’s it.

Mess: always. Chaos: guaranteed.

Pack a change of clothes. Then pack another one. Kids may get wet, and food coloring and paint can stain, so dress for science.
