Birthday Parties at the Ross Park Zoo

Planning a memorable birthday celebration? Look no further than the Ross Park Zoo! Our party packages offer both indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring a fantastic experience for everyone.


Our Wolf Woods Education Center is available for year-round rentals, including birthday parties; it is a unique indoor space that includes private viewing of our magnificent and endangered American Red Wolves while providing a comfortable, temperature-controlled space. Or, you can enjoy the unique experience of holding your event outdoors at the Binturong viewing area. Either location affords you and your guests the opportunity to be surrounded by the zoo’s natural beauty and view the zoo’s fascinating animals. Your guests will relish every moment.


Our nine-passenger tram is available for use on request.
