Important party information

1.We recommend that your birthday party starts at least 30 minutes before your Crocodile Encounter begins. This allows the "fashionably late" people to arrive and settle in. It is important that Crocodile Encounter starts on time. Typically Crocodile Encounter will intentionally arrive 15 minutes after you tell us to allow for late guests. This has proven an effective way to prevent people from missing part of the show. Of course if you want us there at a designated time that is perfectly fine as well.

2.The food should be served after the reptile birthday party, in order to ensure cleanliness. We ask that the kids are not snacking during the program. Children who are eating during the show will not be permitted to touch the animals.

3. It takes only a few minutes to set up for a Crocodile Encounter birthday party and we can perform in most indoor rooms, such as a living or dining room or outside if the weather is appropriate. The animals are generally not messy but like children accidents can happen although it is a rarity with our primary show animals. We ask that if you are having an outdoor party you have a shady area designated for the show animals.


4.Reptile Birthday party pricing is determined  based on your location from Crocodile Encounters base facilty  in Angleton Texas. We have a base price that is competitive with other similiar wildlife shows in the state of Texas with the exception for the fact that our show is the largest in the state.  For pricing please see the Croccatalog. To read more about how we determine our price structure read our FAQ.

5. We ask that you please be respectful of our schedule. It is highly likely that we will be performing other events on the day yours is scheduled and we structure our travel around your schedule. We want to ensure all of our clients are satisfied with our educational shows. As such please attempt to adhere to your chosen time as much as possible so we can extend the same courtesy to all our clients. If your party is starting at 4 have us arrive at 4:30.  We only need a few minutes to set up and then we are into the show.

6. Onsite birthday parties are scheduled in two hour blocks. The first 1hr to 1:15 will be our croc show. We endeavor to leave 45 minutes for your personal party. You are more than welcome to bring the cake, food, etc. We have a courtyard designated for your party. No food or drink is allowed on the boardwalk at any time as we have to protect the animals from debris.

7. Book your event as early as possible. Typically our booking runs about one month in advance although we have preplanners who may schedule as far as six months in advance of their event and others who call the week(or on occasion day) before. Like anything else more advance notice gives you the option of securing your preferred date and not having to flex your event around what is already on our calender.

  Thank you for your interest in Crocodile Encounter. We look forward to making your child's special crocodile birthday party an incredible experience and one they will always remember!There birthday comes but once a year and we never forget that fact. Please email or call with any additional questions, or to schedule your birthday party with Crocodile Encounter

The animals are walked throughout the group and guests may gently touch the animal. We do this with virtually all the reptiles at the show.This is one party that is good for all ages from 2 -110. We are now offering multiple shows types. These can be viewed on the Event pricing page or by clicking here. The birthday child receives a very cool Crocodile Encounter 'Survivor' t-shirt.
