If you are out of ideas when it comes to children’s birthday parties, why not consider hiring an Animal Farm? Not only will an animal farm give your birthday party the theme that you have been looking for, it will take care of most of the entertainment for the duration of your party and give all the kids involved a memory that they will never forget.
What Exactly IS an Animal Farm?
An animal farm is an adaptation of that old standby, the petting zoo. Petting zoos are designed so that children (and adults even) can pet and feed animals that they usually would not come in contact with. The unique concept of an animal farm for a birthday part is that IT comes to YOU. You hire the farm and they bring you a selection of petting zoo animals for a set period of time to liven up your party. This is a great way to give young children a unique experience without them ever having to leave the safety of your home.
What Do You Do With an Animal Farm?
The point of an Animal Farm is to bring the children in touch with animals that they don’t normally interact with. Unlike traditional zoos where people just look at unusual animals, petting zoos and animal farms give the kids a chance to physically interact with the animals. This means that they get to pet them, feed them and sometimes (depending on the animal) even hold them. This can be a real thrill for small children or those who just love animals.
What Kinds of Animals Will They Bring?
There are a wide variety of animal farms out there to choose from. Some petting zoos specialize in domesticated animals. Others pride themselves on wild animals or a mix of creatures to provide variety.
No matter which you choose, however, the animals will usually be small sized and easily manageable and the kind of animals that a child would want to pet and feed. Usually this means baby farm animals such as goats, pigs, chickens, sheep, ducks and sometimes, depending on the farm (and the space available) a pony or two.
Is Hiring an Animal Farm Right for You?
There are a few things to keep in mind when determining whether or not hiring an animal farm for your child’s next birthday is the right choice for you.
First; do you have the space available? Most animals farms or petting zoos can adapt to a variety of spaces, but keep in mind that these are animals. That means that you will need at least some yard space in order to make this work.
Secondly; these are animals, and animals, by nature, get messy. Be sure if you are considering hiring an animal farm that you keep in mind that you, your yard, and your guests may all get a bit on the dirty side.
If you can say yes to both of these, you’ll find that the decision to hire an animal farm is one that you will not regret. Not only does it give you a theme for your party, but it provides you with entertainment for a set period of time, is usually cheaper than taking all of the participants out to a zoo or theme park, and is decidedly safer seeing as that you are in the safety of your own home. So go ahead, hire an animal farm for your child’s next birthday, and give them a birthday they will never forget!
