Pair a pavilion birthday celebration with a covered safari ride
3 hrs
Up to 20 people
Pavilion, zoo entry, safari ride
Celebrate your birthday at a wildlife park with a reserved pavilion as your party base. Combine time with your group and an animal-focused outing.
The first hour and a half is for your party to enjoy the walk-through portion of the zoo, celebrating with gifts, cake, food, and good company. Next is a one-hour trailer tour through the drive-through portion. This leaves you with 30 minutes to pack and clean once you return.
This booking is for the whole experience, which fits up to 20 guests.
Request cancellation at least 48 hours before your event to receive credit as a gift certificate for a future visit. Party deposits are nonrefundable except in a rainout, when a full refund applies. You can reschedule to another available date at no extra charge, including for weather.

At Busy B Ranch Wildlife Park, LLC in Jefferson, Texas, the distance between you and the animal kingdom shrinks to almost nothing. Giraffes lower their long necks toward your outstretched hand, and curious deer press their noses against the fence rail. The air carries the warm scent of hay and open pasture, and the sounds of the East Texas piney woods form a quiet backdrop to every encounter. Busy B Ranch Wildlife Park, LLC gives families and curious visitors a genuine connection with exotic and native animals in a relaxed, rural setting.
This drive-through wildlife park draws consistently glowing feedback from families, and it's easy to see why. Visitors regularly comment on how healthy and well-cared-for the animals appear, and the drive-through portion alone tends to take around 90 minutes with animals actively approaching cars for feed. Highlights include sloth encounters, zebras (though watch your hands around those ones), and a walking petting zoo area up front that reviewers describe as clean and well-maintained. The experience works especially well for young kids and grandchildren, with multiple reviewers noting it exceeded their expectations. Animal encounters are available and described as personalized and reasonably priced. A gift shop and restrooms are on-site, and the staff are noted as friendly and knowledgeable. Grabbing at least two bags of feed before the drive-through is a tip that comes up more than once, so plan accordingly.
Very well kept ranch! Not over priced. Kids and adults of any age will definitely enjoy their time here.
