Have you ever wanted to pet a kangaroo, or get up close and personal to a monkey? One of the most fun birthday party themes is animals! We all love them, and whether your kiddo is into scales or fluff, you can add some live animal entertainment to create a party they’ll never forget!
1. Reptile entertainment
Some of us get a little squeamish at the thought of reptiles, but you may have a kiddo who loves snakes and lizards. They’re the next best thing to dinosaurs, so why not bring a live reptile show to their birthday? Trained professionals will give an educational demonstration on all kinds of reptiles like snakes, iguanas, turtles, insects, and sometimes even alligators or crocodiles!
2. Farm animal petting zoo
Maybe fluffy bunnies, goats, and baby calves are more your speed! Try a traditional petting zoo. Bring the farm to your backyard and let the kids spend the day cuddling baby farm animals. Keep the refreshments simple with lemonade and barbecue sliders. Decorate with checkered table cloths and red or white plates and cups, and you’ve got yourself an adorable farm-themed party.
3. Exotic animal petting zoo
Spice up your party with something a little more exciting and book exotic animal entertainment! You and your guests could be face-to-face with a sloth, kangaroo, or a macaw before you know it. Learn about the animals in a way that a zoo could never do! To round out the jungle vibe, decorate the tables with bright green vines and bamboo and serve colorful fruit skewers.
4. Pony party
If you have a little cowboy or cowgirl on your hands, a pony party could be the perfect fit! Most pony parties are mobile and can bring them right to your home. Let the little ones go on slow-paced rides with gentle, friendly ponies and it’ll be a party they’ll never forget. Pass out cowboy hats or handkerchiefs as souvenirs, and have a hot dog roast with s’mores around a campfire.
