Our take
4/5Alaska Zoo suits children interested in animals, with a birthday rental that includes zoo admission for 15 guests and two and a half hours of celebration space. Tables, adjoining kitchen access and bathrooms cover useful practical needs. Optional animal visits and habitat encounters offer another activity, each costing $300 for 20 minutes.
Budget around included admission: the room allows 40 people, but additional admissions cost $12 each. Packages cost $325 for members or $375 for nonmembers. Habitat encounters allow up to 20 participants. Select Sunday availability, booking dates released within three months and nonrefundable rental fees require careful planning.
