FAQs

What is zPETSa? zPETSa is the home of oversized motorized zoo animals that operate easily with the push of a button and zip at walking speed! Our electric animal rides allow for children and adults of all ages to enjoy fun, safe and convenient transportation on their favorite animal.

 

I just have to ask… where did the name come from? We were hoping you would ask! zPETSa was actually not our original name. A friend and I were brainstorming in the kitchen when he suggested Zippets (You get it? Pets that zip ;)) and I immediately fell in love with it. As I went to type it on the computer, I accidentally typed an “a” at the end and he went crazy! We then went from Zippets to Zippetsa to Zpets to zPETSa… which, translated in English, is zoo animal pets that zip! And plus, it’s SO much fun to say :P So… I hope you love it as much as we did!

 

How old do you have to be to ride? Our animals are fun for the entire family! Little ones, 3 and under, MUST ride with a parent/guardian but ages 4 and up can ride alone **the maximum weight is 300lbs.**

 

Can I rent them for birthday parties and other private events? Absolutely! Our animals don’t require any training! But they do need a smooth, flat, hard surface. zPETSa can be rented for private parties, birthday parties, fairs and festivals, corporate events, company picnics, summer camps, church events and more! See our "Packages" page for more info.

 

Do you offer any discounts? We certainly do! We LOVE our Hometown Heroes! Military, Teachers and First Responders and Health Care Workers,  who present their ID at any of our events will receive an extra five minutes of ride time; and for parties/special events, enjoy 10% off!
