I was wondering if anyone has ever used Jungle Jill's Animal Encounters for a birthday party. My daughter will be five in a couple of months and absolutely loves animals so I thought having someone come and present the animals would be a fun idea, but I wanted to see if any moms out there had used them or had been to a party with them and had any opinions on it. They are $200 for an hour which is not bad, but still I want it to be worth it. The other alternatives would be bowling which I think would be fun and I would not have to worry about the clean up at the house or Chucky Cheese which she wants, but I don't. Thank you! .
We haven't done Jungle
We haven't done Jungle Jills, but we've done bowling and it was a lot of fun...especially the cosmic bowling they usually do for parties. The kids had a blast.
I think kids that age have
I think kids that age have more fun doing something than just watching something. I don't know what zoo admission costs, but they'd get to check out a wider selection of creatures at the zoo than they would if someone brought animals in. Besides, who wants to clean up monkey poop after a party?

My friend had a guy named Jim Ihle (I think) for a reptile party and my son loved it. You could check him out.

It is a lady that brings the animals to your house for parties. I saw her at the grand opening for my daughter's preschool when she was three years old and I guess they do parties at homes too as well as corporate gigs. I was just wondering if the party at a person's house is the same and wanted to get first hand accounts from people. If it doesn't work out the zoo or the reptile guy would be fun too though.
Oh how cool. Let us know
Oh how cool. Let us know what you end up doing. I am always looking for new party ideas.
