The SF Teaching Zoo takes pride in being a conservation minded organization, so we offer sustainable materials to make sure your guests have an enjoyable experience and leave feeling good too!

Parties can be requested up to two months in advance.

Currently, birthday parties are offered: Saturday, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
You can begin setting up for your party at 10:30 a.m.

We offer 2 different party packages to fit your needs (see website for all details).

If you'd like an animal encounter included in your party, the Party Animal package is for you! You'll get to meet 4 different ambassador animals up close. Encounters start at 12:00 pm and last about 20 minutes. Animal encounters have a maximum participation of 30 guests.

Not interested in an animal encounter or have a larger party? Book the Zoo-It-Yourself package, and make your own schedule.

The party fee includes Zoo admission for party guests from the start of the party until the zoo closes at 3:00 pm, use of pavilion or picnic tables, animal encounter (if booking Party Animal package), and a scavenger hunt. Anyone ages 1 year old and up that are present at any time during the party is considered a party guest and will be included in the overall party cost.
