What you need to know...

  • We recommend to schedule our visit to start 30 minutes after your party starts to allow for all guests to arrive.

  • Our parties are for up to 15 children. If you have more, please let me know. More children will mean less personal time with the animals so we can stay on schedule.

  • Children will need to use an inside voice when around the animals.

  • Please keep your pets in a different area than our animals. We love all animals but need to keep our animals and yours safe.

  • Make plans for adults that attend to have a place to talk away from the show if they are not participating or supervising. It makes it hard for the children to listen and they can miss important safety instructions. Adults that would like to participate would be very welcome!

  • Not all animals are guaranteed but we do our best to make sure you have what you requested.
