On average, animal entertainment costs $300-$400. The price may vary depending on your location, length of the event, travel costs, and the types of animals you want to have. Exotic animal shows are often more expensive than a petting zoo or pony ride.
Animal entertainment is most often booked for 1 hour. However, it largely depends on the specific animal entertainment you are booking. Some live animal shows can be shortened, while other interactive animal experiences could be booked for longer events.
There are all kinds of animal entertainment that work for many events. You can book a show with animals performing tricks or have an animal ambassador introduce your guests to unique or exotic animals. Animals are a great educational tool as well, allowing kids and adults alike to learn about and interact with various wildlife. Other popular types of animal entertainment include petting zoos, pony rides, and reptile shows.
Animals are fun, but it’s important to remember that they can sometimes carry germs that may be harmful to people. Keep your party guests safe by washing your hands frequently after touching any animals or having hand sanitizing stations nearby. Also, be careful not to bring food or drinks near the animals. Of course, defer to the company you are hiring to get a complete list of dos and don’ts for keeping your event safe. Double-check vaccination records for all applicable animals.
Most animal entertainment companies will bring everything they need for their show. However, you should still inquire about any needs or help you can provide. Depending on the entertainment, they may need a certain amount of setup or performance space. They may also require certain notices to be printed up and handed out to your guests about proper animal interaction and safety tips. You should also ask about anything you should make sure is NOT present in the space where the animals will be.
Everyone loves animals, which means animal shows and petting zoos are a guaranteed hit for events of all types – especially ones with children present! Depending on your party budget, animal entertainment is great for birthday parties, community events, school fairs, festivals, or any outdoor celebration.
