Big Joel's Safari Petting Zoo & Educational Park

Looking for a place to host your next business function,

customer appreciation event, or party?

Why not rent the zoo!

Our Zoo rental package is for two hours after the park closes to the public. Events can begin after the park closes or ½ hour after during most of our 2024 regular season (April – October 6th). Please note that renting the zoo early and later times of the year is not be possible due the sun setting early.

With our basic zoo rental, you and your guests receive private access to the park. You can tour at your leisure during daylight hours. Parts of the park cannot be toured after sunset due to insurance purposes. You get access to the Safari Party Room which is climate controlled and to the pavilion area with lights & electrical hookups. Both are conveniently located next to each other. Feed for the animals and other extra attractions are not included in the basic price. You can customize your venue rental, for example to provide feed for guests, add more time to your event, and more.

Food and drinks can be brought into the park for your event. All food must stay in the party room and outdoor pavilion area. Please make prior arrangements if you wish to bring alcoholic beverages. We cannot provide grilling equipment for events due to insurance reasons. 

​

Balloons, confetti, pinatas, and any noise making devices are prohibited.

​

All guests are expected follow all zoo rules. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult when visiting the zoo even during private events.
