Birthday Parties

The Birthday Party They'll Never Forget

Give your child an unforgettable experience with exotic animals — from your home to banquet halls and indoor playgrounds. Safe, supervised, and endlessly fun. We bring the animals; you bring the cake.

We've spent thirteen years figuring out exactly what makes a kid's eyes light up. It isn't the cake.

  • Setup and full cleanup included — no prep, no aftermath
  • Animal selection tailored to your child's age and party size
  • Our handlers run the whole show so parents can actually enjoy it

The Animal Lineup

Up-Close Encounters They Talk About for Months

Each party gets a handpicked lineup of 8–12 animals matched to your child's age and group size — from a curious hedgehog or sleepy chinchilla to a brilliant macaw or sulcata tortoise. Every guest gets to touch, hold, ask questions, and pose for the photos parents will be sharing for weeks.

  • Animal selection tailored to age, group size, and any allergies
  • One-on-one handler time so every kid gets their moment
  • Photo-ready encounters that turn the party into the talk of the school yard
Meet Phelin

Our talking macaw

Some of our most-loved party guests are talkative birds like Phelin. Trained handlers introduce each animal so kids and adults get a chance to engage safely — and laugh.
