Birthday Buddies

Hosted by Dickerson Park Zoo's
Conservation Education Department

Make your birthday party a “wild” experience. Schedule a private amphitheatre program for your birthday party group. The program will feature at least two live animals from our education animal collection. Many of the animals in our collection are touchable. (Reptiles may not be touched by children under the age of five.) Biofacts will also be available for up-close encounters.

This opportunity is limited due to available staffing. Requests must be scheduled through the Dickerson Park Zoo Conservation Education Department. A minimum of two weeks advance notice is required for scheduling. The fee for this fun and educational 20– to 30-minute experience is $50. This offer is only available with the program voucher enclosed in the birthday party bag.

For more information on a “Birthday Buddies” program, contact Pam Herd, Conservation Education Director (phone 417-833-1570).

Funds raised through the “Birthday Buddies” program directly support the care of our education animal collection.
