Birthday Parties with Live Animals

Invite a Few Unexpected Guests to your Birthday Celebration

 

If you live in the Southern California area, let Wild Wonders bring some live animals to your birthday party.  Imagine being up close to an adorable pygmy hedgehog, meeting America’s only marsupial, or watching a kinkajou hang upside down and eat grapes.  A professional keeper / educator will bring 6 different animals from all over the world to the delight of your party guests.  With each one, you’ll learn about their unique characteristics and the conservation strategies to help keep their wild cousins safe.

With over 30 years of experience presenting programs to kids of all ages, you can trust Wild Wonders to create the perfect combination of amazing animal ambassadors for the age group of your party-goers.

*Disclaimer: Final animal selection is up to the discretion of Wild Wonders.  Our selection will include 4 warm-blooded animals (examples include an armadillo or a hedgehog or a kinkajou) and 2 cold-blooded animals (examples include a lizard or a tortoise or a snake).    Do let us know if your child has an aversion to a particular animal.

“I just wanted to let you know that we had the most lovely time at the birthday party yesterday. Our friends had never experienced an animal birthday like that and were blown away by the experience! The kids were riveted, and everyone had a fabulous time.”

“We had Wild Wonders come to our house for my daughters 8th birthday.  It was amazing!  The zookeepers were awesome with the kids and we all learned so much.  I think the parents enjoyed it more than the kids!  Everyone is still talking about it.”

  2. Please provide a close parking or unloading space.
  3. If outside, please provide an area in the shade with a wall/ bushes/ etc. for us to set up against (this is so there is no traffic behind the animals).

  5. Please withhold snacks during the presentation.
  6. If you have an air jump, please deflate it during the presentation.
  7. Please have payment ready in the form of cash or check (this will help to keep the keeper / educator on time.) (Checks made out to Wild Wonders). Gratuity is not included in the fee. Our staff depends on and appreciates your gratuity.
