Zoo Birthday Party Ideas in India

Take a walk on the wild side with a zoo birthday party that is sure to be a roaring good time for all. Lions, tigers, bears, oh my! There are lots of great zoo and jungle party ideas that will ensure your party goes off without a hitch.
Planning the Party
- Throwing the zoo party at the actual zoo is one of the best jungle party ideas you could come across. Of course it can sometimes be a bit on the costly side to take a large party to the zoo so be sure to find out about group rates and other available discounts.
- A local park is a good choice for your zoo birthday party festivities. Many neighborhood parks have picnic tables, covered pavilions, and plenty of space for the kids to run and play.
- Bring the zoo and the wild to you by hiring a petting zoo to come to your home. You may not get the big cats and crocodiles, but the kids can still interact with tarantulas, pythons, and other great wild animals.
- Transforming your backyard into a wild jungle or zoo is a good budget-friendly choice, also. With a bit of creativity and a Zoo inspired theme like Jungle Safari Party Supplies, you can set up a safari expedition in your very own backyard.
- Encourage guests to dress up as park rangers or explorers, complete with binoculars and pith hat.
- Start planning the zoo party at least 6 weeks in advance so that you can get bookings for locations done on time, and so that you have plenty of time for your animal themed party supplies to arrive.
Party Invitations

- For your wild jungle theme party you can pick up a few packages of preprinted Jungle Safari party invitations and thank-you notes that will not only fit in perfectly with your animal zoo birthday party theme but will also save you a bit of time in your preparations for the party.
- With a zoo party you have numerous choices to create your own invitations. Pick your child's favorite wild animal and fashion an invitation after that animal. You could use felt glued to cardstock to create textured cards, and crafting feathers to get the vivid look of a jungle parrot.
- A safari jeep fits in nicely with the jungle theme party. Cut out the shape of the jeep and embellish using markers and die-cuts of animals. This is a great option if the party is being thrown for a birthday boy.
- If you plan on hand-delivering the invitations then a small plush jungle animal will be adorable attached to the invitation. A keychain is another option to attach to the invitation.
- A pith helmet or a pair of binoculars make a great invitation for the party, and could include catch zoo-related phrases like "Explore the wilderness at the Smith's Zoo for Jane's jungle bash!"
- Another exciting idea is, let your child be dressed in costume of his/ her favorite animal, For instance Lion and paste this picture on the cardstock invitation. This is the simplest and cutest way of introducing your guests to the party theme.
Party Games

- A backyard safari or exploration adventure will keep the kids scouring the yard for sightings of their favorite wild animals. Hide plastic zoo animals and a few plush animals around the yard, and give the kids a list of the animals they might spot.
