Birthday Parties
Throw a birthday party full of adventure for your child at the Prospect Park or Queens Zoo. Each park offers a unique set of
age-appropriate, themed parties, which include guided tours led by zoo
educators, wildlife games and crafts, and a private room for
refreshments.
Parties can take place year-round, rain or shine.
Parties specially designed for children ages 3–12 include fun activities like tossing fish to our sea lions, playing zookeeper and making lunch for the snow monkeys, or meeting one of our Central Park penguins. Your child will experience the zoo as never before, and have a birthday to remember for years to come.
Prospect Park Zoo birthday parties combine fun activities, arts and crafts, and visits to exhibits around the zoo, with your choice of animal themes. Each group has access to our spacious party room, located in the Orientation Building. Live animal guests will visit you there!
Kids ages 3–12 can enjoy a festive celebration featuring arts and crafts activities, up-close encounters with live farm animals, and a chat with a zookeeper. They’ll also explore some of the zoo’s amazing animal exhibits with our expert instructional staff as their guide.
