Wildlife Encounters birthday parties offer a one of a kind entertaining and educational experiences for your child and their friends and family. Six Animal Ambassadors will visit your birthday party location for a fun, interactive, and educational 40-45 minute wildlife show. Kids and adults will absolutely love seeing, learning, and interacting with some of our amazing wildlife Animal Ambassadors!
The birthday child will be the star of the show by being our "Junior Zookeeper" and helping hands on with some of the wild animals. Wildlife parties include holding an alligator, calling up friends to help hold a 6 foot long snake or possibly feeding a baby kangaroo(when available, see list below).
Birthday parties are offered 7 days a week. Birthday parties are $325 if held within Omaha and the surrounding areas (Gretna, Papillion, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Bennington, Valley, Ashland).

Birthday Party FAQs
Q: Can a birthday party be held at our home?
A: Yes! The birthday party can be held inside your home, garage, or in the backyard. If deciding to hold the presentation in the garage or outside there are certain weather restrictions we must adhere to ensure the animals are comfortable. Please see our Birthday Party Guidelines & Tips sheet for information on holding a party outside. We can not guarantee a birthday can be held outdoors. With Nebraska’s hot and cold temperatures it may have to be held indoors. So ensure you have an indoors location available if party can not be held outdoors.
Q: Can we request certain animals to visit?
A: Absolutely! The online reservation has a section to add any request the birthday child has.
Q: How many children can attend a birthday party?
A: We do not put a limit on the number of children that can attend a birthday party.
Q: What days of the week and times are birthday parties offered?
A: Birthday parties can be held seven days a week in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
Q: How much time do you need to set up?
A: We arrive about 15-20 minutes before the start time to get set up.
Q: How much time in advance do we need to schedule a birthday party?
A: We do not require a minimum amount of time to schedule a party. You can give us a call months in advance or the day before, but generally the earlier the better as dates can fill up. The online scheduler lets you reserve up to 4 months in advance.
