Mobile Petting Zoo Rental Near You

A petting zoo handler brings the barnyard to your backyard — goats, bunnies, chicks and usually a mini pig, penned into a safe, contained corner of your own yard for the whole visit. A typical mobile petting zoo visit lasts 60 to 90 minutes, long enough for every child to feed, hold and photograph each animal without a rushed line, and the handler never leaves the animals unattended. Mobile petting zoo rental is priced flat per visit — not per animal, not per hour — so the number you're quoted is the number you pay, and like every act on Yombu, the handler behind it has already cleared a background check with active insurance on file. Petting zoo teams are joining the Yombu roster city by city, so tell the entertainers page your date and yard size now — a local team will be in touch once one signs on.

Pricing for entertainment varies by city, entertainer, party size and how long you need them. Pick your city to see live "from" prices from local pros — you will always see the exact total before you pay, with no hidden fees.

Yes — every entertainer on Yombu is background-checked and insured before they're allowed to accept bookings, and every review comes from a real, verified party.

Petting zoo teams travel with live animals, so most fill their weekend slots a few weeks out — book as soon as you've set a date, especially for spring and fall Saturdays when outdoor parties peak. Weekday and off-season visits are easier to land last-minute.

Few party activities land with quite this wide a spread of ages — toddlers love the bunnies and chicks up close, while older kids gravitate to holding or brushing the bigger animals. Handlers adjust which animals come out front based on the youngest guest in the yard.

A patch of grass or dirt roughly the size of a two-car parking space is usually enough — the handler sets up a temporary pen and keeps the animals contained to it. They also handle animal waste cleanup as part of the visit, and every handler carries liability insurance — always worth double-checking before booking any animal act off-platform.
