Wilbur’s Wildlife is the up-close native animal experience that comes to you. They will bring along 8-10 of their friendly native animals for a hands-on experience where your child and their friends will get to pat and hold the animals.
Their group of animal ambassadors include snakes, lizards, frogs, insects and possums among others.
The birthday child will become a junior ranger helping to introduce their friends to the animals and getting the most opportunities for holds and hands-on interaction.
As a mobile operation Wilbur’s Wildlife can come to you across South Australia at a venue which is convenient for you. They can also provide the presentation at a childcare centre or school which the child attends.
Wilbur’s Wildlife birthday parties are $375 for the one-hour presentation. Their experiences can either be one-on-one for the birthday child or with up to 30 of their friends.
The up-close native animal encounters provided by Wilbur’s Wildlife are not just for birthday parties. They also visit schools, kindergartens, aged care homes and events.
*All Wilbur’s Wildlife birthday parties are covered by a set of terms and condition’s available on the Wilbur’s Wildlife website. Any animal’s pictured or listed are indicative of their collection and are not guaranteed to appear at your party.
Harry’s Wildly Perfect Seventh Birthday Bash
When it comes to throwing the perfect party, sometimes the stars align – or in our case, the animals do! For Harry’s seventh birthday, we had 34 excited kids, and a playground that needed just a little something extra. Enter: Wilbur’s Wildlife, our party’s saving grace and the best thing to slither into Harry’s birthday plans.
Harry wanted to invite half his class, his soccer team, and his footy team – so, basically, everyone! We picked Fairbanks Drive Reserve in Paralowie as the perfect spot to keep the chaos contained. But with so many kids, and our little ones being way too cool for Pass the Parcel and Pin the Tail on the Donkey, we were scratching our heads on how to keep them entertained.
Cale and his team brought the party to life with their amazing lineup of animal guests. Harry and his mates were thrilled to meet Pepe the Magnificent Tree Frog, Maurice the Sand Goanna, Fidget the Marbled Velvet Gecko, and Mr. Smiles the Shingleback Lizard. The snakes, Olivia the Woma Python and Bob the Black Headed Python, had the kids excited, especially since many had never had the chance to touch a snake before. Meanwhile, Margot the Ringtail Possum and Harold the Sugar Glider brought a delightful touch of sweetness, making the day even more special with their adorable antics. With so many kids, you’d think it would be a bit of a zoo, but Cale got them all sitting quietly in a circle, just like they do at school. Harry, the birthday star, got the first chance to hold each critter, his face lighting up with every slimy, scaly, and furry friend. Then, Cale brought the animals around to the rest of the kids, letting everyone have a chance to say hello and give a gentle pat.
The animals were all super friendly and Cale always prioritised the animals’ comfort, making sure they were put back in their enclosures whenever they needed a break. After circle time, where Cale shared lots of interesting facts about the animals and patiently answered thousands of questions like “How old is he?” and “How big do they grow?”, some of the kids ran off to kick the soccer ball, while others stayed behind for a more personal experience. They got to choose their favourite animals to hold, enjoying a special moment up close with these incredible creatures. The parents also loved it. They found it refreshing and enjoyed seeing their children interact with the animals in such a unique and hands-on way. Some even joined in the experience.
The Junior Ranger Birthday Party package was great value for money, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wilbur’s Wildlife to anyone. If you’re looking for a party with a bit of “wild” excitement, look no further!

We were lucky enough to have Tamara Craft create some party favour boxes for our son's fourth birthday recently and we could not have been happier with the result! Tamara is one talented woman! With the theme of Zebras and Turtles for the party (the birthday boy's favourite things!), Tamara created three different boxes for us to fill with lollies for the guests and she came up with the most gorgeous designs. Not only did she make all sixteen of these boxes by hand, she also kept me in the loop with her progress the whole way, checked I was happy with the design, gave suggestions and just provided all round fantastic service! The boxes were an absolute hit at the party with all of the guests "oohh-ing and ahh-ing" over the cute litte zebra and turtle boxes they got to take home. She also tied in the colours with the over colour scheme of the balloons we had ordered so everything looked perfect - Tamara Craft party boxes were the perfect addition to our party room at AFL Max! She doesn't only make party boxes either - Tamara Craft also makes cake toppers, bunting and many other fantastic additions…
