If your child loves animals and is having a birthday party, there are many things you can do to make their special day a great one. One idea is to hire a traveling animal show company to entertain your child and their friends. This will make the party unique, and everyone will have a great time. Below is information on what you should look for when choosing a traveling animal show.

Animals, Reptiles, and Insects

The traveling animal show should have a variety of animals available. For example, they could have dogs, birds, reptiles, and more. This will allow your child and their guests to learn much about animals they will likely not have access to in their normal life. For example, a boa constructor may be at the party. Your child and their guests would be able to rub their hands along the back of the snake.

The traveling animal show may have creepy crawling insects, such as spiders. The kids may be able to pick up these insects and let them crawl on their skin. Several reptiles may be available, such as lizards, geckos, etc.

Other animals that may be available are ringtail lemurs, chinchillas, raccoons, sugar gliders, and much more. Talk to a representative from the company to find out which animals would come to your party.

Entertainment

The traveling show should set up an area where your children can get much closer to the animals, especially the insects and snakes. There should be someone who can teach the children about the different animals and insects, such as their habitat, what they eat, how long they live, and more.

There may also be a petting zoo for the furry animals. The kids should be properly supervised as some animals may bite. The traveling show might also put on shows with animals as some of them could be trained. For example, there may be a hedgehog there that can jump through hoops or a dog that can do a variety of tricks.  

Insurance

One of the most important things to ask is if the animal traveling show you hire is insured. You never know if one of the kids will get injured, such as from a bite. Also, the employees of the traveling show may get injured on your property, and you may then be liable. One of the animals they have may get sick while on your property or get injured in some way.

The traveling show manager should be able to show you documentation of insurance they have set in place.

Talk with several traveling animal shows in your area, such as Jungle Joes, to find one that will work well for your child at their birthday party.
