ALL ABOARD!

Celebrate your child’s birthday in an unforgettable way —  on the Mobile River! If your child loves the water, boats, or marine life, GulfQuest is the birthday party destination for you and your family! 

Let us do the work while you enjoy the fun! Designed for children ages 5-10, GulfQuest birthday parties are centered around nautical themes. A Party Host will set up, decorate, lead an activity and — the best part — clean up! So “batten down the hatches” for a great time!

Choose from several party room times:

These times are for the party room only. Parties may arrive one hour before their scheduled party room time to explore and enjoy the museum, or may stay after the party room time until the museum’s closing. The party room will be available 30 minutes prior to the party room time for additional set-up. You may choose to bring your own ice cream. 

Choose from one of the following themes:

• Pirates
• Mermaids
• Ocean Creatures

Decorations, activity, cake and party favors coordinate with each theme.
