Are you looking for a unique and meaningful way to celebrate your child's birthday?
Host their next party at our new location in Champaign! Holding events at our new facility is the perfect way to make a difference in the lives of pets, while having fun with friends. We would love to celebrate with you!
Each rental includes a short Humane Education program featuring one of our adoptable pets. It's a great way to teach children about the importance of kindness and compassion toward animals.
For the safety of our guests, we require one supervising adult for every four minor guests. Space is limited to 15 people in total, including your supervising adults and the birthday child. Events are scheduled by appointment only and based on availability. We recommend reaching out at least 4 weeks in advance to ensure availability. Contact our Event Coordinator at Elizabeth@cuhumane.org to check available dates!
Every birthday party rental includes:
- The CCHS Classroom for a two-hour party.
- Someone to handle animal guests and provide a 15-20 minute animal welfare lesson tailored to your child's age. We recommend our parties for children 6 and older.
- Tables and chairs, as well as the in-room 55" Smart TV to play music, photos, videos, or otherwise access the internet.
- Someone to ensure furniture and any party packages are set up as you requested, and to troubleshoot any issues the day of the party.
- A kitchenette to store and stage any food you bring.
Please let us know if you'd like to also request a tour of our new shelter during the during the party. As an operational animal shelter, please understand that we can't guarantee availability for tours at all times of day.
Donkey was our "party animal" at three birthday parties in 2023!
