If you’re a three-year-old boy, there’s nothing better than a PAW Patrol dinosaur-themed birthday party! 🦖

We loved celebrating sweet Jack with his family and best buds! Guests warmed up with coloring pages and on-theme tattoos before choosing a baby dinosaur to adopt. With a little help from their grown-ups, each child picked a name and birth date—and even made a beaded collar for their new dino friend!

After brunch featuring rainbow bagels, yogurt drinks, and juice, our budding paleontologists embarked on a dinosaur dig. Armed with tools and magnifying glasses, they uncovered a mini dino to take home. The celebration ended with delicious cupcakes and cookies!

What would your child’s dream party look like? From toddlers to teens, we have the perfect space and event planner to bring every idea to life.

LEGO Robotics: Battle Bots: Fall&Winter Sessions
by Brain Bytes Academy
Ages 6-10 | Beginner & Intermediate

In this hands-on robotics class, students design, build, and program their own LEGO Bots while learning core robotics concepts like motors, movement, and sensor-based decision making. With step-by-step instruction, students start with a driving robot, then add sensors to help it react to obstacles and refine performance through guided challenges.

Projects include building a Battle Bot base, programming obstacle avoidance, and competing in structured challenges focused on strategy and problem-solving.

We recommend signing up for both Fall and Winter sessions if possible. This enables your child to work through levels to develop a greater understanding of these engineering and coding concepts. Sign up for both using code BBA2 for a $25 discount.

Fall sessions commence 10/21 and Winter sessions on 1/6. Both can be booked now by navigating to the calendar at www.theSPOTevents.com
