Additional Information
LOCATION
The Detroit Zoo provides a private birthday tent so your guests can celebrate rain or shine. The jungle atmosphere will make your party wild and adventurous! The birthday tent is located just past Rackham Fountain behind Pizzafari and is indicated on the zoo map.
The birthday tent is available during the following times:
11:00 am - 12:30 pm
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
3:00 - 4:30 pm
Please note that your admission tickets are valid for the entire day. Any planned activities (tours, rides etc.) should take place before or following the reserved time for your party.
Your FINAL guest count is due to the Birthday Party Coordinator the MONDAY BEFORE your scheduled party date. The final guest count should include the names of all children and adults attending the party. The final guest count will be used to figure your invoice.
Your payment includes zoo entrance fees, food, beverages, party favors and activities. A NON-REFUNDABLE $150.00 deposit is required when you reserve a date. The remaining balance is due with your final guest count the MONDAY BEFORE your scheduled party date. Payments may be made by cash, check or credit card (Visa, MC, or AMEX).
Guests may enter the Zoo parking lots off Ten Mile Road, or off Woodward Avenue. Parking is $5.00 per vehicle. Upon arrival, check-in with Guest Relations at the Birthday Party Express Entrance to obtain your individual admission tickets. Under no circumstances are parents to drop off their unescorted children before you arrive. The Detroit Zoo cannot be responsible for childcare. For everyone's convenience, parties start promptly. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU AND YOUR GUESTS ARRIVE ON TIME. We suggest that you advise your guests to arrive at least 30 minutes before the party's start time or earlier to enjoy the zoo.
For animal health and welfare reasons, we ask that you not bring balloons, styrofoam products, straws, glitter, confetti, or Mylar ribbon into the Zoo. These items are a risk to exhibits and can harm our animals if ingested. Please refrain from bringing pets, piñatas, balls, and all other objects listed in the Zoo rules to the event. Decorations are not required – the Zoo's environment and Birthday Tent provide a wonderful atmosphere.
Reservations should be made at least THREE WEEKS in advance by the Birthday Party Coordinator at (248) 541-5717 Ext. 3141 or email
