Mobile Petting Zoo Brisbane, Melbourne & Gold Coast
Private, inclusive animal experiences for schools, education centres, aged care communities & private events across Brisbane, Melbourne & the Gold Coast.
Karmably delivers calm, ethical mobile petting zoo visits for early learning, schools, fetes, aged care and healthcare settings — plus private events like birthdays and hens parties that are easy to run, safe to supervise, and genuinely uplifting.
How our Mobile Petting Zoo works
A gentle, guided animal encounter. We come to you, wherever you are.
Our mobile Petting Zoo is a guided animal interaction experience where guests can pat, observe, and connect at their own pace. We manage the flow, set clear boundaries, and keep the vibe calm and grounded.
- All-ages friendly (little ones to grandparents) with no fitness level required.
- 1–2 hour sessions, fully managed end-to-end (booking, set-up, supervision + pack-down).
- We bring everything including the gorgeous animals, fencing, equipment, set-up materials + any required infrastructure.
The Karmably team handle everything end-to-end — from set-up and pack-down to managing the interaction flow, safety boundaries and group rotations.
You’ll have a calm, capable team on-site who understand real-world environments, with animal welfare leading every detail from start to finish.
Flexible options for 10 to 40+ attendees
Small set-up (3m x 3m)
A compact, calm enclosure ideal for backyards, courtyards and tighter spaces. We’ll rotate guests through in small groups (up to 4 people inside the pen at a time) to keep the animals settled and the experience safe. Best suited to private parties and smaller events (typically up to ~20 guests).
Large set-up (7m x 7m)
Our larger, premium enclosure with white picket fencing and more room to move, watch and interact at a relaxed pace. Fits up to 30 people inside the fenced area at once, making it a great option for schools, community events and larger celebrations (typically up to ~40 guests).
Bigger group? We’ll customise it.
If you’re hosting more than 40 guests (or have multiple classes/rotations), we can tailor the mobile petting zoo set-up to your venue size, headcount and event flow — including multiple pens, staged rotations and guided group management.
Optional extras to make it even more special
Want to level up your event? Add a few little touches that make the experience feel extra luxe (and extra memorable):
- Relaxed seating zone – bean bags for lounging, parents, carers + chill-out time
- Photo + video capture – beautiful, shareable memories for socials, newsletters or keepsakes
- Extra time blocks – ideal for fetes, open days, big schools and higher guest numbers
The feel-good shift you can actually see
Depending on your setting, the shift is usually immediate: calmer transitions and better group energy afterwards, kids practising patience and gentle behaviour, teens actually engaging without being forced to “share”, residents and staff visibly lifting in mood, and community events feeling warmer, more connected, and genuinely memorable.

Animal welfare is at the centre of everything we do. Our animals are sourced from registered breeders and rescue associations, and are handled by a trained, calm team, with clear boundaries on touch and interaction.
