Celebrate PJ the Rhino's Birthday with a PJ Party at Central Florida Zoo!

PJ the Rhino located at Central Florida Zoo is celebrating his birthday with a huge PJ Party!

PJ is Central Florida Zoo's greater one-horned rhino, and the birthday boy is turning 14 and celebrating in style. It’s going to be a wildly good time for one of the zoo’s most impressive residents

PJ is a 4,000-pound gentle giant, his species is actually the largest of all rhino species, who loves soaking in his personal tub (he’s semi-aquatic!), rolling barrels for enrichment, listening to the world with his big, fluffy ears, and getting the occasional ‘zoomies’

The zoo is treating PJ to a special Birthday Celebration on Saturday, June 14 and everyone is invited!

Don’t miss this once-a-year celebration. Show up in your finest PJs or rhino duds, get  $4 OFF admission, score a raffle entry, and help Central Florida Zoo throw a wildly fun birthday bash for one very special rhino.

On the day PJ's keepers will be treating the rhino to special birthday surprises—and rumor has it, some of his neighbors might have party decorations too!

Visit the raffle table near the rhino habitat to enter the raffle:

Grand Prize: General Admission for a return trip + an up-close Rhino Encounter for up to 4 guests.

There will also be Rhino Paintings created by PJ himself, plus Surprise Bonus Giveaways throughout the day!

How to enter:

• Wear your pajamas or rhino gear = 1 FREE raffle entry

• Want more chances? $5 per extra entry – anyone can enter!

• Just fill out your ticket with your name & phone number (email optional)

• Winners will be contacted by phone. If we don’t hear back within 3 days, we’ll draw again!
