  • If you are looking for a unique birthday party for your child, getting to meet our incredible reptiles and amphibians will be an experience they'll never forget. We can bring the zoo to you, or come out and enjoy a party at our zoo. Our presentations are fun, engaging, and interactive with opportunities for our guests to pet a few of the animals. The birthday child will have an opportunity to feed one of our tortoises and hold a few of the animals for you to take photos. We provide an enjoyable experience for our audience, while instilling a greater understanding of these unique animals and the incredible lives they live.

  • Our programs are designed to be age appropriate.                    
  •  We provide hand sanitizer after guests pet our animals.

Gecko Suncatcher Craft

If you are having your party at the zoo the kids can paint a gecko suncatcher for only $3 per child.  We provide the paint and brushes and the suction cup hook to hang it up.  This is something fun for the kids to do and can take the place of party boxes or gift bags.
