Question 1

Are the animals safe with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every animal is hand-raised, fully socialized from birth, and chosen for their calm temperament. A trained handler supervises all interactions, but adult supervision of children is required at all times — guests interact with the animals at their own risk.

Question 2

Do I need to sign a waiver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every host signs a short liability waiver during booking that covers assumption of risk, supervision, animal interaction guidelines, and our weather policy. You can read the full waiver any time on our Guest Waiver page.

Question 3

What about hand washing and sanitation?

Accepted Answer

Hand sanitizer is provided throughout the event. We also strongly recommend that all guests wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after interacting with the animals.

Question 4

What ages is this best for?

Accepted Answer

All ages. We've hosted toddlers through grandparents. For very young children (under 3), we recommend starting with our calmer animals like Bacon the Kunekune. Adult supervision is required for all minors.

Question 5

Do you travel? What's your service area?

Accepted Answer

We serve Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and most of Maryland. Travel beyond our standard area may add a fee.

Question 6

How much space is needed?

Accepted Answer

We can set up in a backyard, garden, driveway, garage, classroom, or open field. We ask for roughly a 15×15 ft area for our standard pen — though we adapt to your space.

Question 7

Are the animals vaccinated and licensed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All animals are current on vaccinations and regular veterinary care. We're fully licensed and carry commercial liability insurance — documentation available on request.

Question 8

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We can usually relocate to a covered area (garage, porch, tent, classroom). In severe weather, Little Wild Mobile Farm may reschedule at our discretion to keep guests, animals, and staff safe — we'll work with you on a new date.

Question 9

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellations made at least 10 days before your event date receive a full refund, including your deposit. Within 10 days of the event, deposits are non-refundable, though we'll always try to reschedule with you.

Question 10

What's the difference between The Little Wild Experience and Signature Events?

Accepted Answer

Both can feature our full lineup — the difference is scale and pricing. The Little Wild Experience (experiences begin at $995) is our signature private package: one beautifully styled celebration at a single location, with a defined guest list, up to two hours, and the Photo Booth included. Little Wild Signature Events is custom-quoted for anything larger or more complex — festivals, public events, school-wide or corporate family days, all-day schedules, or large weddings that may need multiple setups, extra staffing, and special venue planning. If you have a private guest list, the Experience is usually the fit; if it's a big public crowd or an all-day production, that's a Signature Event.

Question 11

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

For weekend dates in spring and summer, 4–6 weeks is ideal. For weekday school visits, 2–3 weeks. Last-minute? Always reach out — we sometimes have openings.

Question 12

Can we request specific animals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell us who your guest of honor is and we'll do our best to bring them. Most packages include 2–4 animals; the Deluxe brings the whole family.

Question 13

Do you handle setup and cleanup?

Accepted Answer

Always. We arrive 30–45 minutes early, prepare a clean and softly styled pen, and pack everything out afterwards — leaving no trace.
