Everything was good. They were a bit late but stayed the hour. I do love a couple hours from them. Kids loved it at first then were like meh. The kids were 6-12. The pen was a little small and 5 kids at once was a little much. The animals wanted to pull out and eat my grass. I loved it tho. It was different and unique. I had lots of compliments. 

Never in my life again. This place is a fraud and they kept my deposit! My one year olds bday was terrible... People were waiting for them to show up and noone did. I emailed them a week an advance to confirm and nothing a day before I get an email letting me know what time they will come and asking me the address. Noone should trust this place I hope it shuts down. 

The entire party loved the animals, and loved how the chicken laid an egg! The daughter is still talking about the goats, Thank you for making her day so special.

We hired them for my boys birthday party. They let me choose the exact animals we wanted, arrived on time, and were so wonderful. The kids loved it and so did the adults! I would recommend them to everyone! It was perfect! thank you so much 

They were wonderful! Everything we were hoping for!

The animal express was my 9 yr old daughters favorite birthday party!  They had lots of animals and in a fun way taught the girls all about them. I may be booking again next year for her sister!  

Excellent! Thank You for making my daughters party even more exciting... The children loved the animals! Thanks Animal Express will work with you again in the near future . 

Great experience. They tailored the presentation to fit our requests (2 yr old bday party) of a less formal and more photo ops, hands on and Q&A structure. They were timely, professional and personable.
