Why Zoos Love Teddy Tastic Activities
Extend visitor dwell time — while children get creative, parents can relax or explore other areas.
Create emotional keepsakes — handmade bears, sand-art pictures or slime creations make for memorable, take-home souvenirs that link back to your zoo visit.
Boost per-guest spend and party revenue — offering bookable activities or party packages helps raise average spend, especially on busy weekends, holidays, or school breaks.
Stand out from the crowd — a zoo that offers more than animal viewing becomes a go-to destination for families seeking a full day out.
Flexible, Bookable Activities to Suit Your Zoo’s Rhythm
You can choose how to implement these activities based on your zoo’s layout, staff availability and visitor flow. Many zoos schedule Make-a-Bear, slime or sand-art sessions at set times throughout the day, making them perfect for afternoon visits, rainy days or quieter periods.
Bookable Activities that Unleash Creativity
Offer activity-based birthday or group packages, such as family parties, school visits or club trips, where animal viewing is combined with creative workshops and take-home souvenirs.
Make-a-Bear workshops: parents and kids build their own soft toy, a cuddly souvenir for the journey home.
Craft kits (slime, sand art, mosaics, etc.): simple to run, low-staff overhead, high guest engagement.
Party & event bundles: for birthdays, school trips, holiday events or seasonal zoo themes, combine animal encounters with creative fun.
