That’s why taking the tot to the New York Hall of Science, which offers an array of themed parties for different ages, is an ideal solution. Each shindig comes with all the accoutrements, including invitations, a teenage explainer (so the little kids can learn about science from a cool big kid), a party host, and food, toys, balloons and more. 47-01 111th St at 47th Ave, Corona, Queens (718-699-0005, nyhallsci.org).
