We had the most incredible experience! Not only did we receive a very personal experience, but Amanda was so patient with my 3 girls! We learned an incredible amount about the animals and it was more than just a pet-and-go experience. My girls gained a great appreciation for our animal friends! They also had exceptional customer service from start to finish!

We had a very last-minute request for a classroom educational and photo op experience. Once in a Wild was able to accommodate quickly and the kids had a wonderful experience. The animals were very good with our special-needs kids, and the instructor was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone for any type of event!!

- Lacey Stone

We did a meet and greet for my daughters 3rd birthday. It was so much fun. The animals were adorable and the zoo keepers were so kind and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Once In A Wild!

- Hannah Anderson

Highly recommend Once in a Wild. The whole experience was top notch from initial contact until the end of the party. Everyone enjoyed experiencing the animals. The animals themselves were so calm and clearly extremely well cared-for. Thank you, we would definitely book again!
