Our 6th Birthday Celebration

Event Series (See All)

June 29 @ 11:00 am 3:00 pm

Party like a 6 year old as we commemorate our 6th year at Canalside! Don’t miss our Birthday Celebration presented by the Rich Family Foundation from June 25-29.

Each day, take part in fun activities that you’d see at a 6-year-old child’s birthday – from pixels to princesses!

We have a special perk for anyone who is 6 years old or turning 6 in 2025…free admission during the birthday celebration courtesy of Pediatric Urgent Care of WNY! Six year olds must have proof of age (such as a report card) and be accompanied by a full-paying, non-discounted adult. Offer is not valid on birthday parties and school/community groups.

The museum will be open 10am-4pm on June 25, June 26, June 27 and June 28, and from 11am-3pm on June 29.

Check out these highlights! All activities are included in the price of admission. We’ll have more to announce soon.
