What to know
Pros & cons
Pros
- Both packages are published at flat prices ($500 Standard, $600 Premium) covering admission for 15 guests, two hours at the Party Pavilion, a 30-minute private animal encounter, an 8x10 photo with 'Big Al', unlimited train rides and an annual pass for the birthday child.
- The party fee includes full access to the 110-acre wildlife park, so guests can explore alligators, crocodiles, birds and other exhibits before and after the pavilion time.
- Hands-on wildlife experiences set it apart from standard play centers: the Premium package adds an animal feeding and a Meet a Gator experience, and extras like the Screamin' Gator Zipline and Swamp Buggy Ride can be added on.
- The birthday child receives an annual pass, so the family can return to the park for a full year after the party.
Keep in mind
- The Birthday Pavilion is a covered outdoor area, so parties are exposed to Florida's heat, rain and storms, and the park states it is not responsible for weather changes.
Planning tips
Helpful planning tips
Book at least 2 weeks before your party date. Reserve the date online, then a staff member confirms details and sends an invoice you pay to lock in the booking.
Pick one of the two time slots, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and note that reserved times are final once booked due to other party reservations.
Bring your own cake, which is the only outside food allowed into the park. Do not bring straws, piñatas or balloons, as those are banned for the health of the animals.
Have an accurate final headcount before party day. The package covers 15 guests (kids and adults combined), and each extra guest pays $17.50 admission beforehand.
Plan for the weather: the pavilion is covered but outdoors, so pack sunscreen, hats and a backup plan for summer afternoon storms.
Add attraction extras when you book if your group wants them, such as the Screamin' Gator Zipline ($34.99 per person), Croc Rock ($25.00), Gator Gauntlet ($18.00) or the Swamp Buggy Ride ($12.00).
