We create immersive, hands-on science experiences for schools, events and parties across East Yorkshire, Northern Lincolnshire and the Humber. From workshops to planetarium shows, we make science exciting, memorable and accessible for all.
Lab Rascals Science Parties!
At Lab Rascals, we offer exciting, hands-on science parties for children aged 5+ that are both fun and educational! Led by real scientists (not actors), our parties are designed with curious children in mind . From creating slime to launching rockets with dry ice, every child participates in real experiments using professional materials (we don't just do kitchen chemistry). Our parties highly recommended by parents and teachers all over the Humber region.
Please note our 2 hour parties contain a 30 minute break to allow for party food and clean down/set up.
1-Hour Science Parties
Free Party bags with parties of 20 children or more!
Fire & Dry Ice Experiments
Our Fire & Dry Ice Party is packed with hands-on science fun, where children safely explore fire, dry ice including bubbling experiments that amaze and delight.
They’ll:
-
Inflate balloons with dry ice
-
Create clouds of fog
-
Colour changing solutions
-
Watch coloured flames
-
Hold fire safely
Slime
Our Slime Party is the ultimate mix of science, creativity, and fun! Children make two different types of slime — including the ever-popular butter slime.
They’ll get hands-on experimenting with textures, colours, and stretchiness, and each child takes their creations home to enjoy afterwards..
2-Hour Science Parties
Dry ice Potions, Slime & Volcanoes
Children will inflate balloons with dry ice, create fog effects, mix colour-changing potions, make stretchy slime, and build volcanoes that erupt with dry ice. The grand finale features a spectacular dry ice eruption, filling the room with fog and leaving everyone amazed.
Dry ice potions, Bath Bombs & Rockets
Children will inflate balloons with dry ice, create colour-changing potions, and make smoking bubbles in a bowl that they can hold and pop. They'll also launch dry ice pop rockets, and end the party by making their own bath bombs to take home.
Fire, Dry Ice & Volcanoes
Children will inflate balloons with dry ice, create stunning fog effects, mix colour-changing potions, and even hold fire safely under expert supervision. They'll also build their own volcanoes that erupt with dry ice. The grand finale features a spectacular dry ice eruption that fills the room with fog, leaving everyone in awe.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Katie and her team for making our son’s 9th Birthday party one to remember yesterday!
You were incredible with the children and the smiles and shock on their faces said it all about how exciting and engaging they found it. So practical, hands on and fun! What a fabulous party that was so professionally run you made our job super easy! 100% recommend to anyone xx
Harriet Edmondson - West Hull
Where do I start?! What an amazing party for my son's 6th birthday! The kids absolutely loved it as did the adults! So many memories made, I would highly recommend! Katie and Racheal were so helpful too and even offered help setting up and tidying away, thank you both so much!
Kathryn Carter - York
We had a Lab Rascals Party for our 8 and 6 year olds.
Katie had 12 children of varying ages enthralled in a proper hands on science experience for over an hour. From dry ice smoke to ‘magic’ potions, it was a fun experience - even the adults were lining up to have a go holding fire!
Many thanks!
