Scavenger Hunt Birthday Parties at Powell's Sweet Shoppe in Novato

Sweet treats are always a favorite at birthday parties, so wouldn't it be amazing to have a birthday party in a candy store? Powell's Sweet Shoppe in downtown Novato offers fun and delicious scavenger hunt parties that allow you to do just that.

Each participating child gets a scavenger hunt map that lists over 30 different kinds of candy to search for. Kids then search around the store to find all the different varieties, and the map ends at the store's gelato counter where they each get a scoop. Best of all, children take home all the candy they find on their scavenger hunt. It's a fun and interactive way to celebrate a birthday.

Powell's is a nostalgic old-time candy store that's jam-packed with nearly every kind of candy you can think of—and probably a few kinds you didn't know existed. Just shopping here is like a scavenger hunt of sorts, and you never know when you'll run into a candy that you haven't had since you were a kid.

Powell's scavenger hunt maps are available in a variety of themes, including princess, sports, fairy, dinosaur, pirate, and birthday, so there's something for nearly everyone. It's literally like being a kid in a candy store. Scavenger hunt parties at Powell's Sweet Shoppe cost $12.99 per child and include all the candy from the hunt and a child-sized scoop of gelato at the end. Parties should be reserved at least one week in advance; call owner Rawan Zalatimo at (415) 898-6160 to make a reservation.
