What is the difference between a birthday party at Safari Basecamp and one at Monogram Splash Park?
The Memphis Zoo offers two different birthday party experiences. At the Safari Basecamp, birthday party attendees will be immersed in an interactive experience with activities and games hosted by the Memphis Zoo Education Team and with the option to include an animal guest visit. Parties at Safari Basecamp are two hours and are available year-round.
At Monogram Splash Park, birthday party attendees will have access to the full Monogram Splash Park area including all slides and fountains. Parties at the Monogram Splash Park are three hours and are only available May through August.
Is parking included in the cost of birthday parties?
Yes, the cost of parking is included in the cost of birthday parties but is subject to availability.
Where do birthday party attendees go upon arrival at Memphis Zoo?
Attendees should present their ticket at any of the Memphis Zoo front gates to be scanned and then may proceed to their birthday party location.
Can we enter the birthday event spaces prior to the reservation time?
No, all activities taking place in the birthday event spaces must take place during the reservation’s allotted time.
Can birthday party attendees enter the Zoo before their scheduled birthday party?
Yes, birthday general admission tickets included in all birthday party packages are valid during normal Zoo operating hours (hours change seasonally). Guests may enter the Zoo before a birthday party begins and remain in the Zoo until scheduled closing time. However, attendees will not have access to birthday event spaces until the time of their reservation. We cannot accommodate storing personal belongings before or after birthday parties.

Adults and children without a birthday party general admission ticket must pay regular general admission to enter the Memphis Zoo and Monogram Splash Park admission (if entering).
