Leap Day Birthday Celebration

Specifically for: Children of all ages and their Grown-ups

Every four years, a “leap day” is added to our calendar to account for the fact that Earth does not travel around the Sun in exactly 24 hours. Today we will be celebrating all the Leap Day baby birthdays. We will be singing happy birthday and cutting and serving a beautiful 3 tier birthday cake provided by our generous partners, The Party Karacters of Mission Viejo, Ca. Party Karacters offers many party characters, activities, cakes, and other add on services for your birthday party or special events. Please visit their website for more information and support this generous partner of Pretend City Children’s Museum. They have made this special event possible for all of our museum guests!
