Bunny Central, San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA

We offer bunny birthday parties and events to kids of all ages in the San Francisco Bay Area. We also do enrichment programs at local schools and preschools where the kids can learn about rabbits.

     

I bring bunnies to your child's birthday party or school. See pictures and videos below. We do parties for all ages from one-year-old to teens. My sister Beve does the parties I cannot attend. Parties include show & tell: petting, feeding and viewing several breeds of bunnies (and some baby bunny litters). We also do informational classes on rabbit care for teens & adults. Note: Parties for one-year-olds are REALLY for the parents and older children not the one-year old. ;-)

I live in the East Bay Area and can travel to your home in the Bay Area. Information is age appropriate. We teach lessons on rabbit care for the older teen parties. If the bunnies are hungry, we let the little kids feed the bunnies hay and bunny treats. We let the birthday child hold a bunny or two for a "photo op" run with one of my pet bunnies, on a leash. (My bunnies love to run then they plop down to rest) Some of my bunnies will do a simple trick for a treat. Everything is done with safety of kids and bunnies in mind. We love showing people how fun rabbits can be, and then how quiet they can be.

We bring tarps, sheets and corrals for the kids and bunnies to play on. The bunnies actually run amongst the kids as they are petted and (if hungry) fed. Parties an be indoors or out. We need about a 10 x 10' space to set up. Warm days over 80 degrees must be indoors for the safety of the rabbits.

Note: Dear rabbit rescue people; please do not be concerned. Our bunnies were raised here and enjoy being handled, as they were handled since birth. You love bunnies, I love bunnies too. This is the perfect opportunity for children to learn something about them in a structured, safe way. It also has the opportunity of children being able to have the bunny experience without necessarily adopting one. This is a win-win experience.

I have English angora, mini lop and dwarf hotot rabbits that I raise for show. I also have other breeds (like mini rex) just for the parties and bunny-sit (boarding) bunnies - sometimes we bring them with us too, (with permission of course).

At one party, the Mom wanted to do some spinning of the Angora hair, I taught the parents about angora grooming and the mom did some spinning.

We come to your home with our rabbit "petting zoo". One teen birthday party came to my home "rabbitry" and I taught about rabbits, breeds and their care. Depending how far away you are it can be 4 to 6 hours for my entertainment services - so most events would be in the $125 (very local to me) to $225 range because of time to pack up, set up, do the event, take down, travel and put away.

Pricing example: I am in Concord, so the minimum is $125 within 10 min. from my home. 11- 30 min. away = $150, 31 - 45 min. = $175, 46 - 60 min = $200, etc. Each additional 15 min segment is $25 more. I use minutes because traffic effects time more than distance. If I cross a bridge add $5 for toll. This assumes one hour & 50 min. at your home; (20 min. set up, [party - 45 min to one hour], and 30 min. take down). Additional time is $30 hr.

Other Ideas

1) Barn Tour: If you bring the kids to my house for a tour, my time can be as short as 1 1/2 hours or $45. Holding the entire party at my house is more time, or we have a park down the street we can use.

2) Tea Party: Hold a Tea Party and I can be the guest entertainment bringing a few bunnies on leashes and other animals. I can read bunny stories to the kids during or after tea.

3) Fairy Godmother of Animals: As guest entertainer for a themed party I can come in costume with assorted animals, bunnies, birds and a chicken. Our latest incarnation of this idea is in conjunction with a Snow White party.

4) Bunny & Poultry Petting Zoo: I bring bunnies of all ages, a chicken, baby chicks and ducks (if available) to your event. Add $75 to the bunny event, as I have to buy, house and re-home the chickens and ducks after the event.

My sister Beverly does the parties that I cannot attend. She is great with animals and children too. Kids and your adult guests love this event, we get raves from the people who have had us over - "Very original, educational and fun" they say. "Georgia was so good with all the kids of all ages: it is amazing how she held their attention and kept all safe and entertained."

Call Georgia Williams, Bunny Central, at 925-680-4770 so we can customize a party for your child.

Kids Birthday Party

       

Depending on the age of the birthday child and their guests, the activities range from petting many different kinds of bunnies, feeding them bunny snacks and answering simple questions that the kids ask. Little children are not allowed to pick the bunnies up. The birthday child can carefully hold a bunny if they're wearing a sweatshirt or jacket. If my pet bunny, Lindsey feels up to it, the birthday child may follow Lindsay around as she explores your house or yard.

The design of the party is age appropriate and keeps the safety of the children and rabbits in mind. Bonus: If the kids like dogs we can bring our Boston Terrier; Wiki to the party too. She likes kids and bunnies. We have a beautiful chicken (hen) available for show and petting.

Teen Birthday Party Pictures

Once kids have come to the age where they would enjoy an education about rabbits we can cover all kinds of subjects. We can handle all ages of rabbits, look at different breeds and learn about rabbit husbandry. Kids over seven or eight have tons of questions that I am ready to discuss the answers to and demonstrate.

Personal Birthday Party

When parents have decided that children are old enough to have their own bunny, or would like to learn about bunnies, we can hold a personal birthday party for your child. You're welcome to come to my home for the event or I can bring a selection of bunnies to your home for your personal party. Adoptions are available, however it is not necessary to adopt, the birthday child can simply enjoy the bunnies for the day.

Want to "try out" owning a rabbit? You can use my Rent-a-Bunny services to see if adopting a rabbit would be a good match before adoption. With prior arrangement I can bring or have available a gentle older rabbit with cage, food and accessories to leave after the party for a one to two week period. The "Rent-a-bunny" rate is $50. Deposit: $100. "Renters" must return the rabbit etc. to my home after the rental period. This service is only available to families that are having a party as time is needed during or after the party to educate the child and family about rabbit care.

School Events

See the videos above for a preschool event I did at this really nice cooperative school in the S. F. Bay Area. I understand that teachers get a very small enrichment budget and that they often will sponsor a class/ classroom assembly or will ask parents to foot the bill for various enrichment programs. One school had a kindergarten event and each parent contributed $5 to have me come. If the parents for the school wishes, then I can come out to your school and put on as many classes as needed (in a row) to teach your kids about rabbits. This can be a good value for parents, since once I am on location, an additional hour is only a bit more. I did a birthday party at a Montessori school. That was exciting! Pictures are coming soon.

Special Events

Anthonys Wish Day: Video: 2o seconds

Occasionally I can do a special event for a special community member. In this case Anthony loves rabbits and wanted to visit with some on his special "Wish Day". His helpers, from a local group home, brought Anthony to my house to commune with our bunnies. He and his group home gave me permission to share his precious video. Note: I wanted to share this but really cannot do this very often, so please do not consider this an open invitation to do community events or I'll have to be mean and say " AGGGHHH, I do not have time!" Maybe I can do one quarterly. Just don't ask me lightly. For individuals and most organizations I have the paid services, above, that I offer to try to carve out a little living sharing something I love.
