    • If you wish to provide table centerpieces or other decorative items (nothing that hangs on walls or ceiling) that fit a theme your child enjoys (like Paw Patrol or Superheroes), you are welcome to bring them to the Zoo either two days prior to your party, so that Zoo Staff can decorate with them for you, OR you can bring them when you arrive for the party, and your Party Host will help place them onto the tables on your arrival.
