A truly magical and heartwarming experience Watching my daughter connect with the animals in such a gentle and peaceful way was deeply special -- a moment I will always carry in my heart. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the animals are calm and lovingly cared for, creating an environment that feels safe, serene, and full of love. I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful place. It's more than a visit -- it's a meaningful connection. read more

We had The Little Zoo come out for my son's birthday party and the kids absolutely loved it. Even most of the adults were intrigued and huddled in as close as they could. They came with a wide variety of animals that were interesting to see, pet and feed in some circumstances. They kept the kids interested and attentive the entire time and the pacing of the show and the introduction and explanation of the animals was perfect. What an amazingly fun and educational experience. read more

Overall I was super impressed and I thought the handlers did an amazing job. Erin really came through for me at the last moment and did me a huge favor. I had booked another mobile zoo and had booked for the wrong day. So I had reached out to Erin last minute to see if they could help me out of a pinch and she did! She was able to secure two handlers for a birthday event at my daughter's school. The set up very nice and in theme and the handlers were very professional and nice and knowledgeable about the animals. read more

Erin and her Little Zoo were amazing! She came for my daughters 4th birthday and all the adults couldn't stop commenting on how it was the best party zoo they've ever seen. She brought a variety of animals and was so engaging with all the kids. It was a super interactive experience and well worth it for the memories! I wish I held more animals! read more

Loved the little zoo! You can tell they're very passionate and genuinely care for their animals. Erin was great at communicating with me. We had Roberto show up for the show and the kids and adults loved him. He answered all of our questions. Highly recommend the little zoo! read more

Amazing experience and the kids loved it! Great communication and kind people. A perfect add to any important day.

My autistic 8 year old son gets overwhelmed easily in social situations but he loves animals, specifically reptiles. He still wanted a birthday party with his classmates so we booked The Little Zoo as a surprise for him. They were fantastic in working with us and asking questions as how to make my son comfortable. Instead of a show and bringing him as center of attention, I asked them to keep it casual and my son and his friends were able to approach, hold and pet animals and ask questions. This situation put fewer demands on my son, and he was able to enjoy the experience. He held a skink, bearded dragon, tarantula, and so much more. I love this adorable rescue and Roberto and Jules were so great with my son and the kids. read more

So much fun and professional. The animals are well cared for and this is a non profit. Hope to hire them again!

Erin has to be the most amazing one woman show in the mobile zoo business. She has the coolest animals to bring and the families at our party loved it! Erin brought a chinchilla, bearded dragon, turtle, bunnies, snakes, a tarantula (my favorite one), and more! She was so patient with our group of kids and shared lots of interesting facts about each animal. Everyone had the chance to hold an animal of their choice. My daughter is an animal lover who wants to become a "zoo keeper" when she's older and she described her birthday as "the best day ever" because of the little zoo. Thank you for making her birthday this year so special! read more

I highly recommend The Little Zoo!! Rob and the gang of animals attended my son's 3rd birthday party this weekend. The kids enjoyed them, and they they were an absolute hit with the adults! It was a great mix of cuddly and scaly animals. We really appreciated the setup and educational aspects. Rob was very good about recognizing which animals the kids enjoyed most, was patient with toddler moods, and really went above and beyond when he (without asking) recognized and brought some animals out to a child who was experiencing some anxiety and sat away from the party. The unexpected party favor was an egg that one of the chickens laid...tasty for next morning's breakfast! read more

Love this petting zoo , so positive vibes, Erin is so great always and her team Thanks for your commitment read more

Oh my goodness, where to start?!? This was the single greatest party investment I've ever made. Erin and her team are the kindest, most upbeat, most professional people I've ever met. And I've never seen a more beautifully curated and well taken care of little group of gorgeous, happy animals! There was incredible variety from snakes to chinchillas and bunnies, and the facts about them were fascinating. I just don't feel like I can gush enough to get across how absolutely perfect this little zoo and it's zookeepers are!! read more

We had the Little Zoo as entertainment for our son's 10 birthday party and we were really impressed. Erin was great with the kids and super patient with the over excited ones. She made sure to pay special attention to our son, using him as an assistant, and also made sure all the other kids were included. Honestly, she could have brought half the amount of animals and we would have thought we got our money's worth, but she kept bringing more and more animals out. Thanks so much for providing a memorable birthday for everyone. read more

Loved this mobile petting zoo. Everyone had such a great time. No messed left behind. Perfect for events or birthday parties.

a must see for any age! this was beyond therapeutic. Erin is so patient & communicative about each animal. they were brought out one by one & you were able to learn about them, pet & feed them! from turtles, snakes, chinchillas & more this was a memorable experience. highly recommend having The Little Zoo at your next event, party or to your school! read more

Wow, wow what an incredible team who went out of their way to make a group of special needs kids so happy!!! Animal therapy is truly magical and I HIGHLY APPRECIATE AND RECOMMEND Erin and her team and of course the animals family she created!!!!! Thank you for everything!!!!! read more

We booked The Little Zoo for my daughter's birthday party and it was completely magical! It was so much fun watching her get excited to learn about some different animals, and The Little Zoo did a fantastic job setting up, explaining how to safely interact with our new special friends, and encouraging and supervising some very sweet moments. I expected my daughter to be drawn to the bunnies and chinchillas but was surprised that she really fell in love with the snakes. What a fun and unique experience - I highly recommend it! read more

We had the Little Zoo for my son's birthday party today. Erin and her friend came to the agreed location earlier as agreed to set up and the entire 2 hours the kids were thrilled and pleasantly occupied!! One of the parents told me that his daughter has made up her mind about being a vet when she grows up after today's experience, and the other parent told me that they were VERY nice (she had an experience of the other company's team members taking away the animals after a short while, and were not very engaging with the children). My son is a HUGE bird lover and he sat with the chickens the entire time they were there! Unlike the other petting zoos we've hired/been to before, Erin and her team were very courteous, and VERY good with the kiddos. I would recommend them again and again in a heart beat!! Thank you!! read more

Absolutely amazing. We asked Erin to help us with a birthday party with about 15 young (around 5 yo) kids. She put on an amazing show. She brought a toirtoise, a skink, several rabbits and chickens, a bearded dragon, pythons, a gecko, a tarantula, and many more. She managed the animals and the children so well. We never felt the animals were too stressed and, when necessary, she gently redirected the kids and their excitement to meet so many animals. The adults also got to handle the animals and enjoy the fun. It really was a great experience for everyone. read more

Fully recommend The Little Zoo! We had Rob come for our daughter's 4th birthday party. He was super professional and patient with all the crazy kids trying to touch all the animals. He was running late due to traffic so he texted to let me know he was running slightly behind. Clear communication from the whole Little Zoo team. A lot of happy guests and parents! read more

My grandson really enjoyed it. He loves it. Very clean and nice environment. We had so much fun!

This company went out of their way for a last minute bday party and really tried to help. highly recommend them.

Words can not express the joy these well-cared-for animals brought to the members (all ages) of the Flintridge Riding Club. We are definitely bringing the Little Zoo back by popular demand. My horse trainer had a very rough and challenging week at the stable. She found a lot of comfort after holding the snakes. I highly recommend the Little Zoo for company/ club events. read more

There are birthday parties and then there are BIRTHDAY PARTIES!!! Having Erin and the Little Zoo at my daughter's 6th birthday party was the BEST DECISION I'VE EVER MADE! Nobody will EVER forget this party...kids AND parents! Erin brings so many incredible animals...furry, scaley, shelly...All of them! And she lets the kids really explore and find comfort in the connection to the animals. Out of 12 kids, not ONE showed fear of any of them...and that is a HUGE testament to Erin and her zoo. If you want to give your family a day that will NEVER forget...Bring Erin and her zoo to your party. read more

The best entertainment you can get for your kids party! All the kids had a blast and will not stop talking about how much fun they've had.

I must say even the adults was in line to hold the animals too! read more
