## Birthday parties

Party venue · Up to age 21

Birthday parties are held at the Columbia Memorial Space Center, which provides the space.

The page does not state the base length, recommended ages, maximum number of children, host, food, cake, invitations, decorations or prices. Parents book with the birthday party application form on the site, submitted at least two weeks ahead, with two to three months recommended. Full payment is due at booking, and the date is not held until it is paid. Cancellations at least 14 days ahead are refunded less 30 percent; later cancellations are non-refundable.
