According to our "insights", if you follow this page, there is an 89% chance you're a parent, grandparent or educator. That means you spend OVER 89% of your time focusing on enrichment and education for the future. That is AMAZING and YOU ARE AMAZING!! But it also means, you probably don't do much for YOU!
Well, now it's time!!! Get a sitter and come celebrate YOU! Enjoy a night of (boozy, if you choose) fun with animals, art, snacks, music and some interesting animal facts that you won't be sharing with the little ones who light up your life!
Led by our amazingly talented Tamara, who is a master of MANY trades including leading paint classes, mural art, window painting, face painting, traditional and avant-garde hair & make-up application, memorial and educational resin art, hand-crafted jewelry and so much more!
Email today to register!! (More details: Paint Party (Adults Only) at Safari Station
(And don't forget, we have our kid friendly Paint with a Pal at Safari Station the same day, if you'd rather enjoy some family-friendly fun with your little crew of animal-loving-artists)

Rabbits need at least 16 square feet to roam as their home base. A rabbit contained like this little cage for most of the day is a rabbit that is going to be even more destructive and less docile. They have energy they need to get out!
