Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary
Host a one-of-a-kind private event at Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary, where privacy meets extraordinary wildlife encounters. Perfect for memorable celebrations in a natural setting.
Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary is an animal sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and caring for exotic species and offering public experiences that support education and conservation. The sanctuary cares for over 150 rescued exotic animals and provides a range of visitor experiences, including general admission self-guided visits, 90-minute VIP guided group tours led by expert keepers, and private VIP tours with behind-the-scenes access.
Forever Wild also hosts seasonal and annual events such as Howl-o-Ween, which features music, food, family activities, pumpkin carving, slime-making, and animal meet-and-greets. For groups and celebrations the sanctuary offers multiple event packages, including full facility private rentals that close the venue to the public for exclusive gatherings.
Educational outreach is a core offering: on-site School Tours provide safe, guided learning opportunities for student groups, while School Shows bring five ambassador animals and staff to classrooms within a 20-mile radius. All experiences emphasize animal welfare and visitor safety, with keeper-led interpretation that shares rescue stories, daily care routines, and conservation messaging.
Booking options accommodate families, educators, and private groups seeking tailored encounters, unique event venues, or learning-focused trips. Staffed by experienced keepers and handlers, Forever Wild balances public access with responsible care to create meaningful wildlife connections that inform and inspire visitors. Visitors can reserve guided tours, private VIP experiences, school programs, and event packages through the sanctuary’s booking process, selecting options that match group size, learning goals, and accessibility needs while supporting ongoing rescue and care for the animals. Advance reservations are recommended year-round for groups.
