HAWS Schallock Center for Animals Bonfire Bash

$200 | Ages 6-14

Looking for a party that’s relaxing, fun, and all about hanging out with friends? Our Bonfire Bash is the perfect choice! Instead of a fully scheduled party, kids get the freedom to spend their time the way they want. Gather around the bonfire to roast marshmallows, play your favorite games, enjoy time with friends, and bring your own food for a picnic-style meal. Guests will also have the chance to meet and pet our friendly goats, making for a memorable outdoor experience. This party is perfect for kids who love a laid-back atmosphere, outdoor fun, and creating their own adventure. We’ll provide the bonfire and the space—you bring the friends, food, and fun!
