Parties are held for 1 1/2 hours in a designated air conditioned space (up to 90 guests) or the historic Crooked House (for up to 16 guests including chaperones). Available party times (subject to space chosen) are: Saturday and Sundays 10:30, 11, 12:30, 1, 2:30, or 3; party times can be flexible Monday thru Friday. Need an evening time choose one of our Wild Wednesdays when the Zoo is open until 8 p.m. during June, July and August. Crooked House is not air conditioned so party packages will be discounted $15.
