Booking at least 2 weeks in advance is required.  

Birthday party bookings are 2 hours. The first hour is led by the birthday party facilitator completing your program of choice (i.e. an art activity, museum activity or movie). The second hour is the hosting parent’s responsibility. This is when families usually have cake, open presents, play additional games with the children. 

This is dependent on the program booked. The birthday party facilitator spends the first hour of your booking with the children completing the chosen activity. For example, completing a painting with the children in an art-themed party; reading a story and guiding children in a craft in a museum-themed party; or facilitating a movie in a theatre-themed party. 

• Movie birthday parties are at the Old Church Theatre (3 Elma Street). 
• Gallery/art birthday parties are on the second floor of the Okotoks Art Gallery in the studio (53 North Railway St.) 
• Museum birthday parties are on the third-floor attic of the Okotoks Museum & Archives (49 North Railway St.).

The Old Church Theatre is equipped with an elevator and is wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately only the first floor of the Okotoks Art Gallery and the Okotoks Museum are wheelchair accessible. The Okotoks Art Gallery studio and the Okotoks Museum & Archives attic are not accessible. 
Depending on accessibility needs, the location of Gallery and Museum parties may be changed.
