From the personalization in the room to the fantastic party host, every detail was taken care of for our party. It was so fun seeing our daughter’s name on the screen and the chalkboard that everyone could sign was great! The kids and adults alike had a fantastic time, and the room was a perfect size! I loved everything about this party–TCMU is the best place we’ve been to for a children’s party.

Give your child the birthday they will never forget with a Wildlife Geeks Adventure Party! Your child will be the star of the show and exclusively interact with a variety of animal friends from around the world. Audience volunteers are part of the action, too!

The birthday boy or girl chooses the animals that come – will it be Choopie the capybara or Julien the new baby ring-tailed lemur? Find out in person what the fox says or how it feels to pet a gator’s tail! Whether your child prefers cute and fluffy, scaly and slithery, or a mix of both, they will have so much fun being the Wildlife Geek’s special assistant that they won’t know they’re learning!

To top off the joy, we bring a special gift just for the birthday girl or boy. Most of our animals are rescues with great stories to tell. Most importantly, Wildlife Geeks is USDA licensed, inspected, and fully insured.

Hands down the BEST birthday party we have ever had! The entire time was so interesting and informative! Every child loved it and all the adults had a blast as well! I have never had a better experience! From getting information, to scheduling and booking, everything was handled professionally and quickly! We will definitely be calling you all again! You made our girl’s dream come true!
