Fun party programs for ages 6 years and up, ‘tweens and teens
The ideal way to add an educational, yet fun, element to your school-aged child, ‘tween or teen’s birthday or theme party. We specialize in calm, quiet, indoor, one-on-one animal encounters for your animal-loving child and their guests that will leave you and with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Parents: If you think your young guests may be the more rambuctious, bounce house and sword fight types, then this probably isn’t the party program for you — we suggest a petting zoo for preschoolers or more active guests, which would allow them some extra run around time. You can find petting zoos online by searching for "petting zoo" and the name of your city.

Courses Available
Choose from our fun list of courses or ask us to custom-build a course to match your child’s interests. You can customize the party by selecting your favorite six animals from more than 50 species of rescued exotic animals!
Free Party Favor [example]
Each child gets a Zooniversity safari pencil to remember the day.
Optional Guest Photo Sitting [example]
After show time, we’ll pose each of your guests holding one of our tame animal ambassadors—you take the picture. Great for party favors or thank you notes. Have your guests make picture frames as the party craft!
- Up to 10 children – $10 extra

Optional Balloon Animals [example]
We’ll make-to-order a custom balloon animal party favor for each guest and store them out-of-reach until the end of the party (one per guest).
