FAQ about hiring a Petting Zoo

Are petting zoos safe?

expand

Petting zoos are fun, but caution should always be used when dealing with animals. Discuss safety tips with your petting zoo rental company in advance, so you can share that information with your guests. It’s also good to have hand-washing or sanitizing stations nearby, to avoid germs after petting the animals. Lastly, check with the provider to make sure all the zoo animals have had their proper vaccinations.

How much does it cost to book a mobile petting zoo?

expand

On average, a petting zoo can cost between $300-$400. This price range can vary depending on the length of the event, travel costs, and the number and types of animals offered.

What kinds of animals do mobile petting zoos provide?

expand

Some petting zoos offer farm animals like goats, pigs, and bunnies, while others offer more exotic animals like monkeys, parrots, and snakes. When researching local petting zoos, look through photos to see what all they offer. And be sure to check what activities are included – petting, feeding, riding, etc.

Will the petting zoo travel to my location?

expand

All traveling petting zoos must be equipped with trailers and other vehicles for transporting animals. But how far they are willing to travel is up to them. Some may travel 60 miles or more for a party or event.

When contacting petting zoos, be sure to ask about any additional costs associated with travel. Some companies will charge per mile outside their immediate area. You should also check with your city to see if there are any restrictions for having the animals at your party location.

What ages are appropriate for petting zoos?

expand

Petting zoos are great for all ages! From preschoolers to retirees, everyone loves getting up close and personal with cute animals. Book a petting zoo for birthday parties, school fairs, or any fun outdoor event. And because adults love animals too, petting zoos are great for community gatherings, corporate events, and more!

FAQ about becoming a Petting Zoo

How much do petting zoo providers usually make?

expand

Mobile petting zoo businesses, on average, make between $300-$400 for a 2-hour event, but this range can vary depending on the number and type of animals you offer.

How far would I need to travel for an event?

expand

When starting your petting zoo, consider your transportation capabilities and preferences when determining your travel radius. If you’re willing to travel outside of your local area, be sure to add those costs into your overall fee total.

Do I need insurance?

expand

Liability insurance is recommended for all petting zoo businesses. You also want to be sure to get the proper permits and licenses to ensure you’re meeting all the requirements of your location.
