Let’s talk guests!
We recommend for an optimal hands-on animal party experience that parties have between 10-20 children participating. While we are happy to do events for more than 20 guests, please remember this may impact the amount of hands-on animal time each guest has. The maximum number of children that can participate in an event is 25.
Each package includes 1 staff attending your event, if your party is over 22-23 guests please ask us about booking an additional staff for an added cost of $95 + HST, to ensure all of your animal-loving party guests get lots of time to meet our animals up close and personal.

Please note
The number of animals that attend your party or event is based on the presentation requirements and hands-on interaction time that each animal requires.
To ensure that each child has the optimal opportunity to touch/hold and interact with each animal our 10+ years of experience has shown us that 7-8 animals are ideal for a 45-minute program and 8-9 animals are ideal for a 1-hour program. (If you are having a very small event with under 8 children please let us know and we will make sure to select animals from your list that will best fill the time.)
Reminders for events:
OUTDOOR PARTIES PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor parties are available between mid-May and mid-October based on weather. The animals can only be presented outside if it is between 16-26 degrees. In hot weather, (over 20 degrees) you will need to have a shaded area or shade tent set-up for the presentation. If a party is outdoors there are some animal limitations as some animals are a flight risk or can overheat easily. If you are planning for your party to be outdoors, please have a back-up plan in place in case of extreme heat or rain. Our staff will use their discretion on weather conditions, as high winds, windchill and humidex are considered to ensure we prioritize the animal’s health and well-being.

This can be paid by electronic invoice by credit card or debit. Final billing will be sent to you 7-10 days prior to your party via electronic billing and is required 48 hours before your party event.
