Birthday Parties

Celebrate your birthday with a different kind of party animal!

Animal Humane Society is a natural location for your party animal’s next swingin’ birthday bash. It’s two hours of fun, with a little bit of learning that feels exactly like even more fun. AHS is a unique destination that brings out the big “Happy” in “Happy Birthday”!

AHS Birthday Parties include a shelter tour, educational activities, animal-themed games and crafts, and a visit from a special animal guest. Participants may also make a toy or other item to donate to a shelter animal. Parents provide food, cake or treats (We will provide the giddy birthday experience)!

Popular party days (Friday evenings, Saturdays and no-school days) generally fill up 6-8 weeks in advance.  For best availability, call early to reserve your party.
