Frequently Asked Questions

What ages are appropriate?

Our parties work great for ages 3-14! We tailor the content and interaction style to your child's age group. Younger kids (3-6) get simpler presentations with gentle animals, while older kids (10-14) get more in-depth science and can handle larger reptiles.

How many kids can attend?

We can accommodate any size party! Our packages work well for 8-30 kids. For larger groups (30+), we recommend the Premium Package or adding enhancements.

What if a child is scared?

No problem! Participation is always optional. We're experts at helping nervous kids warm up to reptiles, but no one is ever forced to touch or hold an animal. We always have smaller, gentler animals for hesitant children.

Can adults participate too?

Absolutely! Parents and adults love our programs just as much as kids. Everyone is welcome to interact with the animals.

What if it rains (for outdoor parties)?

We recommend having a backup indoor location. If weather is severe and no indoor option is available, we'll work with you to reschedule at no penalty.

Do you bring the alligator to every party?

Echo the American Alligator is featured in our Standard and Premium packages! For Basic packages, you can request specific animals when booking (subject to availability).

Can we take photos and videos?

Yes! We encourage photos and videos throughout the party. We'll also help facilitate great photo opportunities with the animals.
