Looking for a fun team-building activity or adult event idea like a bachelorette party or office picnic? Look no further! Our Cuddle Parties are an exciting and unique way to build closer relationships with your team, family, or friends! With extra special ambassadors like Sandor the Giant Rabbit, Debbie the Bearded Dragon, Iggy the Guinea Pig, and more—you’re sure to have an amazing time! Animals are also known to provide a calming and therapeutic experience and lighten the mood at your next gathering. It’s sure to be memorable!

Here at Once in a Wild, we specialize in bringing adorable and handleable animals to your location, and we can easily set up an amazing animal experience either indoors or outdoors.

You will get to request which animal ambassadors you’d like to meet, and spend some close one-on-one time with them with the assistance of friendly and knowledgeable staff during a casual interactive experience. We have a wide assortment of animals to choose from including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. (Not all are touchable or holdable, but you can get up close to all of them regardless!) Furthermore, photos of or with the animals are always welcome, and encouraged! This type of experience can be set up almost anywhere, outside or inside. If we will be outside, we just ask to be in a shaded area, or we can provide a popup tent when needed.

This is a fun, casual encounter that can fit into almost any special occasion and is great for just about any age. Participants young and old can touch, hold, and take photos with animals that attend. You can also customize the encounter by choosing the animals you’d like to meet. We have a wide assortment of animals to choose from, but some of the best choices to cuddle with are the following: Giant Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Tortoises, Bearded Dragons, and Ball Pythons.
