Wild Animal Parties!

Let "The Nature of Things" help you celebrate your child’s birthday with animals from all over the globe. The birthday parties are a one-hour adventure into the wonderful world of animals. Children will explore where animals live through a hands-on discovery into the rainforest, desert, woodland, farms, and even the mountains. Birthday party guests will meet amphibians, reptiles, insects, mammals, and birds in a comfortable and safe setting. They will also discover why certain animals are slimy, scaly, creepy, furry, and feathery. We have over 160 animals that your child can choose to invite to their birthday!

The educators at "The Nature of Things" are able to present the animals at birthday parties at age-appropriate levels. A naturalist will entertain and educate the children with 10 to 12 live animals and stories for about one hour. Above all else, "The Nature of Things" will make this a special day for your child. The birthday child may help to hold some of the animals, and will also receive a nature book at the conclusion of the party.

Anyone touching animals must wash their hands with soap and water at the conclusion of the program.  We do not provide wipes or hand sanitizer. 

Call us to schedule your child’s next party at 914-276-3454. Please see below for price list.
