Step 2: Customize your party with these fun add-ons:
​
Extra animal - $25
This add-on is to add an extra animal without adding extra time onto your party. This would replace the game played at the beginning of the party.  

Tote bags - $50
​With this add-on we will provide you with 20 canvas tote bags as well as stencils and fabric markers to use while decorating them. This would be done in lieu of a game during the first 15 minutes of the party. *Must be chosen for booking so bags can be ordered*

Mammal party - $15
Does your birthday child love furry friends? With this add on you can skip the game at the beginning of the party and instead add a short lesson on mammals to animal time. Learn what sets mammals apart from other animals and look at some mammal bones and pelts

Extra hour – $190
With this add-on you will get to meet an additional animal as well as extend your game, walk, and food time

Extra half hour – $95
With this add-on you will get to meet an extra animal during animal time

Extra party host - $60
​Do you have a very energetic group and want an extra set of hands? With this add on you can have two party hosts instead of one. *Depends on staff availability, must be chosen at booking*
