Professor Pennypickle had a huge birthday bash – but Beaker is more comfortable with just a miniature birthday bash – and that means LITTLE!

Help celebrate in Beaker’s mini style with lots of teeny tiny fun. Beaker's Little Birthday Bash will be celebrated at every session - you may choose either the 12:30-2:30 p.m. session or the 3-5 p.m. session - be sure you let us know which one you want. Tickets are $5 per person. You can buy your tickets here:

                        of cool star related goodies in the gift shop...check it out!)
