🦘 Kangaroo Pictures

Create a memory you'll never forget! During our 41st Anniversary Celebration, you'll have the opportunity to hold one of our adorable baby kangaroos (joeys) while your family and friends capture photos you'll treasure for years to come.

🎟️ Kangaroo Picture Package – $15 Per Person

Each Kangaroo Picture Package includes the opportunity for one person to safely hold a baby kangaroo (joey) under the supervision of our experienced handlers while photos are taken.

Family and friends are welcome to be in the pictures with you, but only the person with the Kangaroo Picture Package may hold the joey.

📸 Capture the Moment

Bring your camera or smartphone and take as many photos as you'd like during your scheduled picture session. This is the perfect opportunity for families, children, and animal lovers to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

🎟️ Reserve Your Time Slot

When purchasing your Kangaroo Picture Package, you are reserving the specific time slot shown in the listing title. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to check in.

Your reserved time is set aside specifically for your photo session with the baby kangaroo. To ensure every guest has the same great experience and to keep our animals on schedule, we cannot accommodate early or late arrivals.

Your Time slot is noted in at the Top of the Page in the Heading.

🚨 Ticket Policy

If you miss your reserved time slot, your package is forfeited and cannot be refunded, exchanged, or rescheduled. Please plan accordingly so you don't miss this unforgettable experience.

🎉 Celebrate 41 Years with The Pet Zone on Saturday, September 12th!

🎟️ Reserve your Kangaroo Picture Package today before all time slots are filled!

I think this wording better matches what guests are actually purchasing—they're buying a professional photo opportunity with a baby kangaroo (joey) rather than a traditional "meet & greet." It also sets the expectation that the primary experience is holding the joey while photos are taken, which should help reduce confusion.
