Houston Petting Zoo l Wild Things Zoofari — Local services in Eden

INSANE! As soon as I knew we were doing a farm theme, I reached out to Courtney in August of 2024 (party was in April 2025). She prepared me with all the information I needed well in advance and told me to hold my horses on the deposit until 2025 😂 We couldn’t wait and as it turned out, the wait was so worth it! COOLEST BIRTHDAY PARTY OF THE YEAR! The children loved it, the adults loved it, birthday girl’s niece almost never left the pen. It was everything I imagined it would be and more. We had a kangaroo, bearded dragons, the fluffiest bunnies, goat, sheep and tortoises. Our handler was so informative, and even with 30+ kids at the party, we didn’t have any overcrowding in the pen or any incidents. I monitored the weather constantly before the party so we set up a pop up tent before hand. We experienced brief rain, but the tent held up, rain ended and there were no interruptions in fun.

Weeks later, a guest told us they overheard someone else at a lunch restaurant talking about how amazing her party was and how insane that we even had a kangaroo there. We had a Barn bounce house, a Corn Box, Farm themed snack-stand, bubbles, horse sticks, photo ops, and the Exotic Petting Zoo (for 2 hours). Moved everyone in for Pizza and cake to allow for a smooth take down of the petting zoo and transfer of animals with everyone indoors and out of their way.

Thanks for helping me live my coolest mom life, making my kid’s wildest...

The PURRFECT PARTY favor? I know now that my most fun and memorable birthday parties were at home, with homemade cake and games and playing in the backyard- and not the ones that were cookie cutter experiences at the mall or pizza parlor - or the ones where they spent $1000+ on jump houses and goodie bags and such. Well, THIS is that one-of- kind experience for kids AND adults alike - and you don't have to do a thing but show up in your own living room! We took "baby shower" to a new level with a surprise Zoofari experience for our Dallas area guests - a mix of men and women. Courtney's troupe of baby animals is impressively unique, well mannered, and well cared for, and she is as professional, punctual and passionate as she is engaging. She reads the crowd well with the timing and (with good behavior) allows a lot of great interaction with many of her baby animals. She captivated a group of 35-45 year olds as if they were little kids again, and everyone had a great time over the hour she was in our home with 8 animals. I have hosted a LOT of showers and parties over the years, and this one has had the best responses and interest from others - some have already booked her for their own parties. Young or old, it will be some of the best money you can spend, for your kids or your "big kids". I promise, you and your guests will not only learn a lot, but have a unique memory to last a...

They cancelled on our family for our daughter’s birthday ONE HOUR before they were supposed to arrive!!

There were kids AND adults here expecting animals to arrive, and everyone was so disappointed.

It was hard to communicate and set things up with them in the first place. They really don’t seem passionate about what they do. And they really didn’t seem to care about the fact that they ruined the plans for a child’s birthday party.

They said one of the drivers had to go to the emergency room or something. That’s no different than an employee calling in sick at the last minute. YOUR SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF PLAN FOR THAT IN PLACE.

I was actually looking forward to the whole experience, but it turned out to be the worst thing I could have planned for my daughter’s birthday.

And never any follow up call to apologize or try to make it right. That would have spoken volumes, just like the fact that I haven’t received one...
