What parents say
The kids loved the face painting. Our artists were rockstars! Such professional, super service.
Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.
We had Maggie for face painting she was fantastic—the kids adored her, she worked beautifully and quickly, and was such a cheerful presence at the party.
How much does a science party host cost per party in Chicago?
Typically $215–$375 per event to start, for a one-hour home show (Mad Science of Colorado, Mad Science of the Triangle and Mad Science Bay Area, 2026). Those are other companies' published rates: no Chicago science party host has listed a Yombu rate yet, and you always see the exact total before you pay.
How many science party hosts are available in Chicago?
Yombu is onboarding science party hosts in Chicago now. Tell us your date and we'll match you with the right vetted local pro — within 24 hours.
Do science party hosts near me travel to Aurora, Cook County and Dupage County?
Yes — Aurora, Cook County and Dupage County are inside the Chicago area Yombu covers. We're onboarding Chicago science party hosts now, and we match you with one whose travel radius reaches your address.
How far in advance should I book a science party host in Chicago?
Three to four weeks ahead. Mad Science franchises in Colorado, the Triangle and the Bay Area all ask for at least that much notice, because hosts restock a kit of materials between shows. Yombu is still onboarding Chicago science party hosts, so we match these parties by hand and more notice means more choice; last-minute is still worth asking.
What should I expect from science parties in Chicago?
In Chicago, a science party is typically a 45–60 minute booking: hands-on experiments built for a birthday crowd. A science party host runs a hands-on show built entirely around moments a birthday crowd can touch and try themselves — bubbling reactions, dry-ice fog, slime everyone takes home. Sessions typically run 45–60 minutes and play more like a performance than a classroom lesson, with the host handling setup and cleanup of the experiment stations.
Are science party experiments safe for kids?
Yes, when the host handles anything hot, cold or chemical. Dry ice in particular should only ever be handled by the host, with gloves, never by the kids. Ask what the take-home slime or polymer creations are made of, so you can check them against any allergies on your guest list.
What age range gets the most out of a science party?
Kids roughly 6 to 11 get the most out of it. They're old enough to follow simple instructions and curious how things work, but young enough that a foaming reaction still gets a real gasp; hosts simplify or add showmanship for the age mix in the room.
Their best birthday starts here.
