Petting Zoos

A backyard petting zoo birthday party. The owner stands with Tony the spotted mini donkey, a pen of fainting goats behind her, and a goose on the table next to her. A sunny day in Saco, Maine.

Our private petting zoos can be customized for your needs. We service birthday parties, camps, school programs, fairs, nursing homes, and really any event you would like to have us at!

Our current animals include goats, sheep, pigs, mini donkey, emus*, mini zebu, rabbits, chicks, and ducklings. Animals are subject to change. We will bring a variety of animals, but they are unpredictable at times. If an animal is sick or unwilling to load, we will not force them to participate. All of our animals are selected based on their outgoing and friendly personalities. As we find more animals that fit in, we will add them to the program!

The Basic Event Package includes a two hour long display. We will arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the event to set up. We will need a flat, outdoor space about 10 feet x 20 feet to set up the display. We also need a spot that we may park an SUV towing a two-horse trailer. The basic package is $500. Additional time is billed at $75 per half hour. There is no travel fee within 20 miles of Shapleigh, ME. Locations outside of that range will be billed at $0.75 per mile travelled, round trip. We require a $50, non-refundable deposit to hold your date. The remainder of your balance is due one week prior to your event. NOW BOOKING FOR THE 2026 SEASON.

We are also available for larger multi-day events, such as fairs. Pricing is dependent on infrastructure provided, length of event, animals requested, and distance. Please call or email to discuss and get your options.

*Emus are only available for larger, full day or multi-day events at this time.
