Are programs done indoors or outdoors?
Safety is our first priority, so we would never subject our animals to a harmful situation. Just like humans, our animals are not always comfortable with every passing season. Reptiles are not safe in the cold and many of our mammals are extremely heat sensitive. All programs from mid-May through mid-September must be indoors. When planning an outdoor program, we recommend having an alternate indoor location as a back-up. Animal safety is the responsibility of our instructor, so animals will never be brought out if conditions are not suitable.
What is the best age for live animal birthday programs?
All ages love animals! Children under age 3 will not be allowed to touch the animals, therefore we recommend ages 3 and up for our parties. Age 5 an up are ideal. Our oldest birthday boy was 81.
Spaces fill up quickly, so don’t delay!
