BIRTHDAYS

Our birthday packages are designed for smaller groups. We recommend time slots based on the number of kids you expect. A one hour petting zoo can accommodate up to 20 - 25 kids. A 1.5 hour petting zoo can accommodate up to 35 kids. A two hour petting zoo can accommodate 35 - 45 kids. If you expect more than 45 - 50 kids, we recommend one of our Festival package option Our festival set up can accommodate a larger group of guests in a shorter time.

Our staff member/s will arrive 20 - 30 minutes early to get set up. At the start time, we will gather the kids who are there to go over a few brief rules, introduce the animals, and give our “birthday child intro” if it is a birthday event. This is typically a brief presentation, no more than 10 minutes, so we can jump right into the hands-on portion. We will have 3 - 4 stations set up for kids to pet or hold our animals. We will have one station where groups of 4 kids can rotate through holding some of our animals, one station to sit with our animals and pet them, and one station for petting and watching our exotic ducks! If you book a large animal package, there will be one station to pet and watch the large animals. Our staff member/s will facilitate rotating through groups of kids at the holding station to ensure everyone gets an opportunity!

Yes! If you are having a small party, but not a “birthday party” you can book these packages. Please see the first FAQ above for guidance on what group size is appropriate.

We have set packages and certain animals are set within these packages (described below.) We are able to take requests for seasonal friends. We recommend not mentioning these to the children as we cannot make 100% guarantees as our choice of seasonal friend ultimately comes down to the weather. This way it can be a special surprise and no one is disappointed! We are unable to add a large animal to a small animal package because they require specialized transportation.

We need a shaded space and a backup option in the case of extreme temperatures or inclement weather, plus a parking spot as close to the setup location as possible. Space minimums are in each package description. We will provide all the necessary fencing, stools, and other equipment! At one of out booths we will be selling greens or veggies for the animals this is separte coast from what comes in our package.
