Include a Tour at the Wildlife Center in your next Party!

     Your child can now include a visit to Wildlife Center in their next birthday or other type party! We offer two different types of visits to SPWRC to accommodate different size groups. Each visit includes a tour of the rehabilitation facility, and party guests will learn about native animals that come to the Center for care before returning them to the wild. Guests will also see live wild animals and learn the stories of our Wildlife Ambassadors that live permanently at the Center because they can't be released.

     Two different packages are available and encompass different size groups and  levels of activities. 


NOTE: These are NOT replacing educational programs for schools, youth groups, etc. Please contact Gail Barnes at 799-2142 if you want to schedule an Educational Program.


                 The Party Tour Package – add a tour to your party $150

This package adds a behind-the-scenes tour of the Wildlife Center to a party being held off-site. Have  cake/refreshments/meal at another location and come to the Center for an educational tour. Length of this tour is 30 to 45 minutes.  The Birthday Guest of Honor will have his/her picture taken with one of the Center's Wildlife Ambassadors. Children must be age 5 and above.  This package can accommodate groups of up to 30 total individuals (children and adults). An additional fee of $5 per person will be charged upon arrival if the group is larger than 30. The Center will expect all guests of this tour to arrive together/at the same time.


                                                                                                                               The Family Tour Package - $100.00
