Birthday Adoption Experience

Make their birthday a little more Ham-tastic with a Private Birthday Adoption Experience at the Bellinghamsters Adoption Center in Bellingham, WA!

The Adoption Center will be reserved just for your group for up to one hour, giving everyone plenty of time to choose their new friends together.
Most groups complete their adoption experience in approximately 30–45 minutes.

Each guest will get to choose their very own Bellinghamster, explore the outfit selection to find the perfect look, choose a colorful Ham House, and make their new friendship official with Adoption Papers to take home.

I’ll be there to welcome your group and guide everyone through their adoptions as your Head Ham! I’ll introduce you to the Hams, help with dressing and styling new friends, answer questions, and make sure everyone leaves with a Bellinghamster that feels just right for them.

Guests are welcome to take their time meeting the Hams, comparing personalities, trying on outfits, and enjoying the experience of choosing their new friends together.

Each $35 Adoption Reservation Includes:

• One Bellinghamster
• One dress-up accessory of the guest’s choice
• One Ham House
• Official Adoption Papers
• Private access to the Bellinghamsters Adoption Center for up to one hour

Private Birthday Adoption Experiences require a minimum of five Adoption Reservations. Both children and adults are welcome to adopt, so parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members are welcome to join the Ham Fam too!

Add a Little Extra Ham Magic

Want even more options at the dressing table? You can upgrade your group’s adoptions with additional dress-up accessories for $10 per guest, per additional accessory.

You can also add Bellinghamsters Goodie Bags for $10 each. Each bag includes a Bellinghamsters bookmark, small acrylic magnet, four stickers, and themed packaging for a little extra surprise to take home.

Birthday Adoption Tickets

Every Private Birthday Adoption Experience includes personalized, printable Birthday Adoption Tickets at no additional cost. Tell me the birthday child’s name and the age they’re turning when you book, and I’ll create a print-ready PDF for you to share with your guests. I recommend printing the tickets on cardstock for an extra-special keepsake.

Each guest should bring their ticket with them on the day of the celebration and present it at the Adoption Center door for entry into your private experience.
