Birthday Parties

We do Birthday Parties at the Zoo (on weekends only). This includes a personal 45-minute birthday show with approximately 10-14 animals, and free admission to the zoo for the day.

Cost is $150 for the first 40 people, plus $4 for each additional adult and $3 for each additional child/senior.

There are picnic tables available, for you and your group to use. You may bring food, or make your own arrangements to have it delivered (Pizza seems to be a favorite). Don't forget to bring the cake and presents...!!!!

You can call us to schedule/reserve your specific date. Be aware that during the Summer months these weekend Birthday parties at the Zoo are quite popular, so we suggest you contact us well in advance to reserve the date you want. You can call us at 805-378-1441 (this is the best choice, since we can usually look up your date availability while you are on the phone, or we will take a message and get back to you) or you can also email us at EATM@vcccd.edu - It may be several days before we can return your call/email.

Special Animal Presentations

Special Animal Presentations and Zoo Tours can be scheduled for groups, for field trips or other outings.

Cost is $70 for the first 30 people plus $2 for each additional person. Guided tours are an additional $50 flat rate per group. (Must be scheduled well in advance. Minimum age is 2 years.)
