Birthday Celebration Options at the Zoo

As of late 2023, the Zoo has discontinued birthday party packages. To ensure the safety and well-being of our animal residents, we kindly request that outside food, beverages, balloons, and coolers be left at home or consumed outside the Zoo.

If you wish to celebrate with a group visit, consider reserving group admission and pre-ordering meals from the Café. Many families also enjoy using the picnic area in our overflow lot for snacks and meals. Please be aware that this area cannot be reserved or decorated.

For a more private occasion, the Civitan Pavilion is available for rental on a limited basis for a fee of $1000 for a 4-hour minimum. This includes both setup and teardown time, with extra charges for additional time beyond the initial 4 hours. Catering is permitted with prior consent and a signed catering agreement. Outside food and beverages are not allowed unless catering is arranged. Please also note that there are no heating or cooling facilities for food storage available on-site.
