Kids Safari Animal Rides
Motorised animal rides for every kind of eventForget the usual party entertainment – this is a full-blown safari expedition, minus the passport. Kids Safari Animal Rides brings a herd of gentle, motorised safari animals straight to your celebration, turning any backyard, hall or park into a jungle adventure kids won’t stop talking about.
Run by a Melbourne team who’ve spent years working hands-on with children at community and education events, the crew knows exactly what makes a young crowd light up — and how to keep them safe while they do it. Every animal is padded, slow-moving and fully supervised by trained staff, so grown-ups can relax while the little explorers take the reins.
Prefer not to host at home? Head to the safari yourselves – the team’s very own Jungle-themed party room in Mordialloc comes fully stocked with its own resident herd and safari décor, ready for a roaming celebration without leaving the room.
Whether the ride comes to you or you ride to it, one thing’s guaranteed: a stampede of smiles.
Nothing turns a birthday into a legend quite like a real, motorised safari animal parked in the backyard. Guests take turns saddling up and cruising around at a gentle, kid-safe pace while a dedicated safari guide keeps watch over every lap — leaving plenty of time for giggles, roars and photo-worthy moments.
It’s an experience built for variety: toddlers just steady enough to sit tall, primary schoolers racing to be first in the saddle, and even the odd brave parent hopping on for a lap of their own (the animals can carry adults too). Every celebration comes fully set up and packed down by the crew, so there’s nothing for the host to wrangle beyond cake and candles.
Indoors or out, in a driveway or a hired hall, the safari adapts to the space — all it needs is a firm, flat surface and a little room to roam. It’s hands-on fun that keeps a mixed-age guest list entertained together, rather than splitting off into separate corners of the party.

Parking available in the surrounding business park. No travel fees for Jungle Room bookings.
How Many Little Explorers?
The Jungle Room works well for birthday celebrations of approximately 15–20 children.

Further Information
*Prices correct as of September 2026. Prices subject to change without notice.
- Fully supervised & insured – every booking is staffed for its full duration, backed by public liability insurance, with all team members holding current Working with Children Checks.
- Suitable for all ages — built for toddlers through to primary-schoolers, with a per-ride weight capacity generous enough for a parent or carer to jump on alongside younger riders.
- Space needed — a flat, hard surface such as concrete, pavers or firm decking, with roughly a 3m x 3m clearance for the animals to move safely.
- We travel to you — servicing homes, schools, childcare centres and venues right across greater Melbourne, including Bayside, the Eastern Suburbs, Mornington Peninsula and Inner Melbourne — or celebrate on-site at the dedicated Jungle party room in Mordialloc.
- Weather-ready planning — Melbourne skies can be unpredictable, so an undercover or indoor backup space is recommended for outdoor bookings; the team will always work with hosts to reschedule if conditions turn.
- Book ahead — popular weekend and school holiday slots move fast, so getting in touch around four weeks out is recommended to lock in a date.
- Beyond birthdays — the same safari herd is available for school fetes, festivals, fundraisers, corporate family days, markets and more.
