For my thirtieth birthday party we hired Science Alive. This was a great venue for the theme, A Geek Party, where people came dressed as their favourite geek/scientist, or their favourite scientific discovery.
People were able to play on the science experiments, the black light mini-golf, or just relax at the bar. One of the most popular exhibits was the 2 story vertical slide. Following singing and a birthday cake "The Prof" gave a demonstration of a Tesla coil. Instructions for building your own can be found here.
