Whether you’re watching tigers on the prowl, feeding giraffes, or taking a ride on the train, the zoo is a great place to take the kids! But if you can’t take the party to the zoo, why not take the zoo home with you by throwing a zoo-themed birthday party. Here are some great ideas from birthdaypartyideas4kids.com :

Zoo Party Decorations
Decorate the food table with a tablecloth that reaches the floor and then attach construction paper grey bars to the tablecloth to make it look like a cage. Hang a please don’t feed the animals sign on the table until you are ready to serve. Scatter stuffed zoo animals throughout the party area and make a habitat for each one using artificial plants, grasses and flowers.

Fun Ideas
Dress parents and older siblings up as zoo keepers. Khaki shorts and shirts with safari hats. Wear name tags such as “Zookeeper”, “Feeding time administrator”, “Lion keeper”, etc.

Food
Trays of fruits and vegetables with pictures of animals that like those kinds of treats.

Popcorn in brown paper bags that say “Gorilla Food”.

Peanuts in small bags that say “Elephant Food”.
