[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be very annoyed if my kid got invited to a free zoo party and I had to attend for hours and pay $30 to park. [/quote]

I was thinking how annoying it would be to carry gifts and walk around the whole time and walk very far back to the car.[/quote]

Meet at the car, the parent can get there early and tell people what lot they are in. Drop the gifts off at the car. Or it is a great excuse for the parents to have a no gift party. Maybe the parents can offer to buy the birthday kid a special toy to compensate for the lack of gifts.

But yeah, driving my kid there and paying to park would suck. So I would say that unless it was a small enough group that the parents could drive them all to the Zoo, it would be a hassle. Or if people live close enough to walk to the zoo for drop off and pick up. [/quote]

I have 3 kids and been to a lot of parties. I have also been to the zoo with others and I think it is literally the worst place to meet others. I say this as a person who has kids who love the zoo and have been to the zoo several times. People who are not familiar won’t be able to find you and/or you will spend a lot of time looking for them.

This sounds like a logistical nightmare.

I think if OP has ~5 kids dropped off at her home and she takes kids by herself, it should probably be fine.

I’m a very punctual person and I am always one of few punctual people for a party. You will have late people. Someone who can’t find your car. Stuck in traffic. Running late for x readon, etc.[/quote]
