My husband and I were debating where we were going to hold our daughter's 5th birthday party when we came across Tanya's review of her birthday party experience (see her yelp review below) and we were sold!!!! We booked the Big Birthday Blowout and it was AMAZING!!! Upon arrival, we were given a cart to wheel in whatever food we brought (it is a peanut-free facility, which we appreciate as our child has peanut allergies). The facility provides cups, napkins, cutlery and has cake cutting materials. You can also request they provide pitchers and cups of water) Their staff takes care of both the lab set up as well as the food set up (you bring the food, they set up). *Note - if you have smaller kids, they have a play area that smaller kids can play in with Magnatiles and blocks. We got 1 hour of time in the lab (we chose the slime theme) where the staff did an amazing job captivating and maintaining the attention of all of the kids at the party! The kids each get to wear a lab coat and lab googles which make for super cute pictures. After the Lab session, the staff lead the kids to the bathrooms to wash hands, and sat them down to eat. The staff then donned gloves and helped distribute the food as well as handling the cake cutting when it was time to cut the cake. They literally did EVERYTHING!!!! (The one thing I wished I had done was also ask the staff to set some plates and cutlery outside of the eating area so that parents can eat as well. I was able to move some of the food, plates, and cutlery out to make it more accessible to parents, but wished I had planned it better so that I was not on the staff's way when they were feeding the kids.) After everyone has eaten and gotten cake, the staff then distributed goodie bags (made by them and included in the cost of the party) to all the kids. It was an amazingly well-run machine. They also helped to load the cart of stuff to bring back to the car! We didn't have to clean up, they do it all!!!! Shout out to Mr. Sampson who lead the birthday party from Lab, to hand washing, to handing out gift bags. He was absolutely amazing! I describe him as the "Pied Piper of Science," because he had all the kids just enthralled with everything he did! He is super animated, super engaged - myself and many of the parents there were blown away by this man's energy and his ability to captivate and hold the attention of an audience of 3-5 year olds! We had a great experience, and I know the kids and other parents did as well! I highly recommend doing birthday parties there! read more

We love it here! Everyone on staff knows how to get a child's attention...and keep it! From the time you enter, your instructor approaches the children to chat and play, learn and explore, and it continues into one of two classrooms. Each class is prepared with activities and experiments, supplies and crafts to enhance the learning that has taken place. Kids are eager, excited and happy, engaged and participate in their own learning. KSL has given us a whole new take on teaching science to little ones, encouraging their thirst for knowledge and making learning so fun, you want to keep doing it! read more

I put my son in a summer camp at the Greenlake location. It was overall okay, but I was disappointed that they watched a movie almost every day. Considering that the hours were only 9am to 3pm, my husband had to pick him up and then finish his workday at home, which meant that my son got more screen time at home to keep him quiet and occupied while my husband was in online meetings. I would have preferred just non-structured play instead of screen time, especially for the price I paid. He seemed happy to just be doing free play with the other kids when I picked him up. I did like that they walked them to Greenlake to play outside in the shady area under the trees daily. read more

This place is amazing. Our son had been attending weekly classes and camps for years, and his enthusiasm for scientific exploration and creating with Kids Science Labs hasn't wavered. The teachers are clearly devoted to the kids. I can't say enough good things about KSL! read more

I highly recommend Kids Science Labs! My daughter (4 y/o) did a Jedi summer camp and loved it! Everyday she made a new gadget and had a story about the mystery they were trying to solve. It was a great experience for her! I just loved that she was able to work on problem solving and her hand coordination while having fun! read more

Kids Science Labs - Jedi Summer Camp! They made light sabers! - Kids Activities Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had signed my daughter up for camp spring break and paid over $500 in advance. Camp was understandably canceled. I have reached out over 5 times to both leaders at this location and have failed to receive a reply. Not even a "we cannot reimburse you due to this hardship". The lack of acknowledgement is unprofessional and unacceptable. read more

Brace yourselves. This is about to be one of my most favorite places to review ever. Want to throw your child like.. the best birthday party they might ever have? Look no further than Kids Science Labs. This place is jaw dropping amazing. So check it out.. I absolutely love throwing my daughter's home birthday parties and do so as much as I possibly can. I prefer that because I can basically lose my sh** and obsess over all the party theme details and drive everyone else around me completely insane while doing so. But the outcome is usually the same, a unique and fun party in the books with pictures I still look at regularly. Is it my party or my kid's party. One never really knows but hey it's my thing, I'm THAT parent, and I admit it. I just love kids birthday parties! But when your daughter who's about to turn 5, tells you this year she wants to invite the whole entire class to her birthday, my eyes almost filled with tears thinking about where to put everyone, how could I get 1 child plus what was usually their 3 other family members in my house x 18. And that was just her classroom. Then we had neighbors, add another 17, and close friends, add another 10 and holy #$@& I about had a coronary and we were just 2 minutes into this conversation. So I went to a fb group I'm part of and dearly love and asked the question -- anyone have a favorite kids birthday party venue they'd recommend which might hold 30 kids and 5,000 parents and siblings? Well, that is when a few moms recommend KSL and doted on how well run the parties were there. I called them up and was immediately sold. Especially the part where they said.. "Oh, and we take care of EVERYTHING, you just figure out cake and food." WHAAAAAAA? They could not be for real, and at this point I was willing to forgo any and all expectations on the party details because I just needed a venue that would hold a large group of people with hope the kids would have a half way decent time. Well, they convinced me the kids would have a FANTASTIC time and that was enough. We booked it! Day of the party, we arrived with all the food, drinks and cake. They literally unloaded everything and immediately set it up. Then kids started to arrive and there was an area where kids just idled and played until the majority of the party was there. From there, they set out a snack table for parents and kids, piled gifts on rolling tables, talked about safety and rules, and then brought all the kids into the science area where they wore lab coats and goggles. That is where the fun started. These fun, quirky, hilarious and ever so adorable science guides walked the kids through different science experiments where the kids got to roll up their sleeves, dig in and get dirty! They LOVED IT! Meanwhile in a separate room, there were other staff members setting up lunch and even dished out pasta, salad, bread, etc. on each child's plate. After quite a while of sciency fun, it was time for lunch! The kids were completely jazzed after getting gooey and gross, and the staff first made them all wash their hands (that alone won my heart over!). Then the kids were walked over to the lunch area and began eating. They sang, served the cake and then before the kids left, they ensured each child had a favor bag with items they had just used that day to do their experiments. This place is just phenomenal. I'd drop a lot more f-bombs in this review but I can't since it's kids related, but I really want to stress just how awesome this place is! It's such an amazing venue, I can't say that enough. For someone who loves planning parties, for the first time, I threw a party where I did not lift a finger and it was pretty nice if you ask me. The venue is amazing, clean and the staff were wonderful -- they had their system down like clockwork and were incredibly efficient. And with that.. we cannot wait to go back. I imagine if they are this good with birthday parties, just how amazing their camps or after school programs would be. Thanks to KSL, I have two daughters who are now newly and very interested in science projects which is a huge WIN in itself. Forget the birthday party :) Thank you Kids Science Labs! read more

What a great experience! My son who was 5 y/o did a summer camp here and he loved everything about it! Program by itself is great but the staffs!!! They are amazing! Every morning, they greet kids with excitement, make them feel so welcomed, and makes things more fun with the way they introduce the lessons to the kids. I also sent him to the pacific science center summer camp. Compare to Kids Science Labs, it wasn't good. I felt like I waisted my money. The staffs didn't look like they care about kids at all and the program by itself was nothing special. If you are debating on sending your kid to either here or PSC, I highly recommend Kids Science Labs. read more

An amazing place for summer camp (or a birthday party!) - we have done both. My children love this place and so do I. The staff are enthusiastic, creative and obviously enjoy what they do. Hands on learning combined with lots of fun....i would highly recommend KSL. read more

We love KSL! We haven't done the classes, but we have done several weeks of their camps - during the summer and school breaks. Each week my daughter (she is currently 5) has done a camp, she's left with new friends. She is always excited to go, comes back spouting things she's learned, and the staff is engaging, kind, and friendly. read more

Can't say enough how grateful I am to have this class for my 2 year old daughter. It's so much fun, the staff is stellar. I look forward to seeing what cool new experiments that have each week. Great job guys! read more

Super fun class! Took my nanny kid here for a few months. I was impressed with the things they taught them. Always a bunch of fun activities and awesome teachers! Only thing I would say is it's hard to find a spot to sit comfortably during class read more

My daughter loves Kids Science Lab and I love it too. Staff is absolutely amazing. Kids learn having a lot of fun. One of the best after school place in Seattle. read more

My son had his 7th birthday party here recently and it was great! The staff were so helpful and handled all the details...I just brought the birthday kid and the food! The kids were totally engaged and entertained as they wore little white smocks and protective glasses. The experiments were cool and messy and the guy leading the activities was funny and great with the kids. I had many parents tell me their kids had so much fun. I highly recommend! read more
