Reptile birthday parties kids actually learn from

A reptile party that comes to your home: an hour of snakes, lizards, turtles and more, with a zoologist who turns curiosity into real learning. One hour, 12 animals, $300.

Base price. Additional charges apply for parties with more than 20 children and for travel more than 30 minutes from where we keep our animals.

The experience

An interactive animal birthday party, start to finish

If your child is asking for a snake party or a lizard party, this is the hands-on version. Randy brings each animal out one at a time, tells the kids where it lives and how it survives, and lets them look closely, ask questions and, if they want to, gently touch.

Grown-ups tend to crowd in too. Parents tell us the adults learn as much as the kids, and the birthday child gets a front-row seat for the whole hour.

Children who are nervous around reptiles are never pushed. Watching from a step back is a perfectly good way to enjoy the party.

What kids learn

Real facts they'll repeat at dinner

  • How Reptiles Live

    Where each animal comes from, what it eats and how it stays warm or cool.

  • Respect and Gentle Handling

    Why we approach calmly, never touch heads, and let animals (and kids) skip a turn.

  • Curiosity and Questions

    Children are encouraged to ask questions and get real answers from a zoologist.

  • Confidence at Their Own Pace

    Nervous kids can watch first; nobody is ever pressured to touch an animal.

Party Safari Rules

Four rules that keep kids and animals comfortable

Randy goes over these at the start of every party.
  1. Touching is always optional: a smiling girl gently touches a pale yellow python at an outdoor birthday party

    Touching is always optional

    You do not have to touch an animal if you do not want to.

  2. A group of children reach out to gently touch a turtle's shell

    Gentle hands only

    You must be gentle with an animal if you decide to touch it. Staff decide whether a participant or an animal should skip an interaction.

  3. Hands off heads: a large tortoise eats leafy greens on the lawn at a backyard party

    Hands off heads

    You will not touch the head of an animal.

  4. Wash up afterwards: hand sanitizer is squeezed onto a child's open hand beside a tortoise on the Party Safari rug

    Wash up afterwards

    Everyone who touches an animal must wash their hands afterwards. Food is not consumed during a presentation. Hand sanitizer is provided by staff.
