All animals presented will be appropriate for the birthday party audience, but due to the needs of our animals, we cannot guarantee specific animal species.

What happens if it rains the day of my party?
The party room and associated activities are indoors, therefore the zoo will still host the party in inclement weather. If you choose to not attend your program due to weather, we will work with you to the best of our ability to reschedule. We do not offer refunds for programs cancelled by the guest due to weather.

When do I get access to the room?
The zoo allows the host of the party to access the room 30 minutes prior to the start of the party to do any additional set-up. You will also have 30 minutes after the conclusion of the party to clear out of the room. Please note that zoo staff will enter the room at the conclusion of the party to start cleaning up. We do request promptness as the room may need to be turned over for other programs.

When should we arrive at the zoo for our party?
You and your guests receive daytime admission to the zoo with the cost of the party. Therefore, you can arrive anytime during zoo operating hours. If you do arrive early, we may not be able to store anything in the room prior to your scheduled time.
