THE OFFERING

The Zoo Comes to You

Chehaw Park brings several live animals directly to your party location, delivering an off-site encounter that places the animals and educators in the guests’ space rather than requiring a visit to the zoo.

THE FORMAT

Two compact program lengths

Choose a 30-minute encounter featuring four animals or extend to a one-hour program that includes eight animals—options that let hosts match attention spans and scheduling needs.

THE HOSTS

Led by trained Chehaw educators

Presentations are delivered by specially trained Chehaw Park educators, who manage the animals and the flow of the encounter for a safe, engaging experience.

What the day feels like

How the encounter plays out

A team from Chehaw Park arrives at your off-site location, sets up a short, structured presentation and introduces several live animals over a 30-minute or one-hour session. Educators guide the interaction so guests can see and learn about each critter while the program is paced to hold a party crowd.
