Frequently Asked Questions:
IS THERE A MINIMUM NUMBER FOR A PARTY?
No, but the more the merrier!
IS THE PARTY ROOM DEDICATED TO OUR PARTY OR SHARED BY OTHERS?
Your party room is dedicated only to your party. No one else is allowed to enter.
WHY DO KIDS ENJOY PRAIRIE EXOTICS PARTIES? IS IT MORE THAN JUST FUN?
Kids are naturally curious and reptiles are unusual animals so most kids enjoy seeing them – and often – this may be the first time some of the kids have ever seen some of the animals we have at Prairie Exotics. As well, amidst the fun, your guests are learning about nature. Some kids even go back to their schools and talk about their parties. Next thing we know, the teacher is on the phone booking us to come to the school and teach one of our curriculum enrichment programs.
ARE INFANTS INCLUDED IN THE COUNT?
Infants in arms are not counted.
DO WE HAVE TO BRING ANYTHING SUCH AS PLATES, FORKS, ETC?
We provide napkins, plates, table cloth, cups, cutlery and candles. Colors available are green, black or red.
CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD?
You can bring as much food as you would like! Just one small reminder is that our party rooms are usually booked back to back, so the food left over should be removed to your car. The Party Host will give you a hand with this and with your gifts as well.
CAKES – HOW TO ORDER? (OPTIONAL)
Enjoy a delicious custom made cake with the birthday person’s name, age and reptile image. The cut off time for the cake is the
Monday prior to your party to give time to make your cake. Contact for pricing.
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?
All cakes are nut free. Egg, dairy or gluten free cakes are available at an additional cost.
HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY CAN I MAKE CHANGES?
Up to Wednesday night before your party is fine, except for the cake as mentioned above.
CAN YOU SUPPLY THE LOOT BAGS? (OPTIONAL)
Yes, we supply reptile themed loot bags with lots of items. We have one size loot bag available and should you order a few more than you use, we don’t charge for extra loot bags not used.
ARE ADULTS COUNTED AS GUESTS?
Yes, your guest count is the total number of people attending the party, whether they are adults or children.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Because of our reptiles, we keep our Facility at 27C all the time but everything else is outside so weather dependent. Make sure to wear outdoor footwear that can get dirty, it is a farm with animal poop.
WHAT AGE GROUPS ARE PRAIRIE EXOTICS PARTIES SUITABLE FOR?
We have done parties for 1 year olds, though this may be a bit young for most kids, and we have had adult parties booked as well.
WHEN SHOULD WE COME PLAN TO ARRIVE FOR THE PARTY?
We suggest that you give your guests a 10 to 15 minute lead time for the party, as some guests are late and miss part of the party. Your party room is ready 5 minutes before your start time and guests can go right in to the zoo where the party gets started.
We recommend that you write on the invitations ‘Please be here 10 minutes before the party starts at xx:xx’ (insert the start time for your party), for example. This allows time to park, enter and hang up coats.
WHO DO I TALK TO WHEN I ARRIVE?
Your Party Host will be there to meet you when you arrive for your party.
HOW DOES PRAIRIE EXOTICS KNOW WHO IS PART OF THE PARTY FROM GUESTS WHO ARE JUST VISITING THE ZOO?
Each party guest has a colour coded wristband.
WHAT DO I DO IF THE BIRTHDAY PERSON DECIDES THEY WANT A REPTILE?
The excitement of a Prairie Exotics visit may lead some guests, often the birthday child, to decide that they want a pet reptile. This should not be a impulsive decision. Start off slowly – talk with one of our staff about the pros and cons of owning a reptile. Then buy a book on the care of the reptile they are interested in. Let the child study the book for a week or so then if the interest level remains high, bring them back. We will review their care knowledge and check to make sure that they have the understanding necessary and commitment to care for the animal. If so, start modestly. You don’t have to invest a huge sum to get started for most reptiles. And an appropriate pet reptile can much easier to care for than virtually any other animal.
