Birthday Parties
Honolulu Zoo Society Program

Birthday Parties are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-12pm or 1-3pm.

Parties are in two categories: Basic and Deluxe.

Both parties include:

½ sheet cake decorated with your child’s name and a picture of one of our animals.
Ice cream for all guests
Fruit Punch and water available throughout the party
All paper products, silverware, cups and napkins for all food and drink we provide
A party facilitator who will set up, break down, and lead your party
A paper craft for the kids
A guided tour accompanied by a fish & turtle feeding at the lemur pond

The Deluxe party also includes:

An animal pull string piñata with candy
Paper goodie bags with Zoo stickers to hold candy from piñata
Lunch for all of your guests. You have your choice of:
- Hot dogs with chips
- Hamburger with chips
- Pizza (cheese only, one topping only or ½ cheese & ½ one topping)

Parties are sold in an initial package for 20 participants, including children (ages 1 and above) and adults. There is a charge per additional guest after the 20 guest count has been reached. If you go over our recommended guest count of 45, you will be charged a fee of $100, in addition to the per person fee. If you have less than 20 participants, you still pay for the initial package price. If you need a party for over 50 guests (the maximum number of guests our facility will hold), we recommend contacting our in-house caterer, “Taste of the Wild Catering,” at 924-0880 or on the web at www.tasteofthewildhawaii.com. They will be able to help you plan your larger party or event. Note: when contacting Taste of the Wild Catering by phone, it is an automated system. Please DO NOT choose the option of “Birthday Parties.” Please choose the option of “Taste of the Wild Catering.”

When you make a reservation we can put a hold on the date of your choice for seven days. At the end of the seven days we will need your registration form returned to us with the initial payment for 20 guests. Your final head count will need to be provided to us on the Monday prior to your party date. The guest count given to us at this time is the minimum number of guests you will be charged for on the day of your party.
