Birthdays

Have a birthday bash to remember at Como! It’s the only place that lets you party like an animal and leave the cleaning to us! We now offer seven unique party themes – each with live animal and/or plant visitors, or a personal tour of a featured animal exhibit (public area). We can even provide pizza and cake, so the only party planning you need to think about is when to come!
