Karmably's Petting Zoo
Mobile Animal Experiences
Feel-good, animal-powered moments for kids parties, team bonding, community events, and more.
We’ve captured the magic of presence, play, and pure joy—and added hooves, paws, and cosy bean bags.
You’ve probably heard about our famous Goat Yoga and Puppy Yoga sessions—much-loved across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Melbourne. But what if yoga isn’t your thing? Or you’re not as mobile, or just want to relax and soak in the joy without stretching into a pose?
That’s exactly why we created the Petting Zoo—an uplifting, accessible experience for everyone.
Whether you’re planning a kids birthday party, a corporate wellness day, a school holiday activity, or a gentle, joyful visit to a retirement village, this is about slowing down and letting connection do the work.
A Petting Zoo For All Ages
Pats & Chats (16+) – For Adults, Teams & Calm-Seekers
Pats & Chats is a low-key, high-impact experience designed for adults and teens to slow down, reconnect, and unwind. Whether you’re planning a team offsite, mental health day or just craving a peaceful moment—this one’s for you.
What’s included:
- A soft, relaxed space with ambient tunes (we bring the playlist!)
- Calm, mindful interaction with our friendly goats and cuddly pups
- The kind of reset you didn’t know you needed
Perfect for HR managers, business owners, or anyone looking to bring calm and connection into their space.
Pats & Play (Under 16s) – For Kids Who Love Animals
This is joy, wrapped in fur. Pats & Play is playful, sensory, and full of giggles. It’s designed for children to build confidence, feel calm, and connect with animals in a safe, gentle way.
What’s included:
- Supervised, age-appropriate animal play
- Encouragement to explore, interact and just be kids
- Safe space to spark curiosity, calm nerves and make memories
Perfect for parents, teachers, grandparents, schools and community groups.
Beautiful Moments for Older Hearts Too
Some of our most powerful moments happen in aged care homes and retirement villages. Our Petting Zoo brings gentle joy to older adults—many of whom light up at the chance to cuddle a baby goat or stroke a sleepy pup.
Whether it’s sparking a memory, easing anxiety, or simply creating a moment of presence, animal connection is incredibly grounding. It’s perfect for residents living with dementia, mobility challenges, or anyone who just wants a little more warmth in their day.
We tailor our visits to indoor and outdoor settings, and take great care to ensure the comfort of both people and animals.
Flexible Setups for Any Event or Space
No matter your group size or venue, we’ve got an option that works:
