Have A Wild Time on Your Birthday!

Have a Party at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo and your birthday experience is sure to be WILD.

What better way to create an unforgettable party than to combine the excited energy of kids with the natural antics of animals?  Adults also enjoy our programs, telling us that they appreciate our sense of humor, like our personal approach, and that they learn new things about animals, too. Parties at the Zoo are available most park operating days.
