Thank You for choosing the NHSPCA to host a memorable and precious birthday!
Parties are available for children ages 6 and up on Saturdays from 12-2 pm or 3-5 pm. Our party packages are available for groups of up to 10 children, including the birthday child, and 2 adults (additional children up to a total of 14 can be included for an extra cost; but we do encourage you to keep groups smaller so that all children have as many opportunities to interact with animals as possible). Food can be served in our Humane Education classroom and there is a full kitchen available for your use. There are also several nearby restaurants that offer take-out.
Many children choose to have guests bring gifts for the animals, or make a donation in lieu of gifts! If you wish to offer this, here is our wish list and Humane Education donation page to see what we might need! The NHSPCA and all the animals in our care, thank you for this act of kindness and generosity!
