What to know

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Unique animal-themed birthday experience at a beloved Atlanta institution, the combination of zoo exhibits and animal encounters creates lasting memories
  • All-day zoo access means families can explore the entire zoo before and after the reserved party time
  • Educational component with animal encounters and keeper talks adds substance beyond just entertainment

Keep in mind

  • Outdoor venue is weather-dependent, rain or extreme heat can affect the experience, and there is limited indoor backup
  • Animal encounters are subject to availability and may change based on animal behavior and keeper schedules
Planning tips

Helpful planning tips

Book a morning party slot (if available) to beat afternoon heat in summer and maximize time before the zoo gets crowded.

Confirm the animal encounter details when booking. Specific animals may or may not be available on your chosen date.

Check the weather forecast a few days before the party and have a backup plan. Ask the zoo about their rain policy when you reserve.

Arrive 20 minutes before your party start time. The coordinator will meet your group and guide you to the reserved area.

Encourage guests to wear comfortable walking shoes, the zoo covers a lot of ground and kids will want to explore after the party.
