Recently, we decided to relocate our retail stand at the Louisville Zoo to a nice spot with shade near the elephant exhibit. Here, manager Kelly is working on a family caricature on a warm summer day. If you plan to visit the Louisville Zoo this season, find us toward the back of the zoo near the elephants and buy a one-of-kind caricature or face painting!

Stop by one of our 2 stands located at the Cincinnati Zoo and the Toledo Zoo for a caricature of yourself or Fantasy Face Painting. Or visit our single locations for caricatures or face painting at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Louisville Zoo or Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. Need a break from the sun?

Goofy Faces Training at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

Robert Bauer - Friday, April 23, 2010

It's that time of year when we gear up our retail operations for our zoo locations throughout the midwest. This week I was in Cleveland training our new artists at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. All 5 new artists did a great job learning about retail caricatures in only 4 days. On Thursday, we gave them a chance to draw the public for free so we could see them in action. Although the weather was a bit chilly for drawing, they had a continuous crowd for over 2 hours. Zoo guests were very pleased with their work. Some of the guests were from Belgium. They were stranded in Cleveland due to the volcanic ash and smoke from Iceland. The zoo allowed them to visit for free and we drew several of them for free as well. It was fun showing them a good time while they enjoyed an extra few days in the U.S

Goofy Faces at the Zoo!

Robert Bauer - Wednesday, March 11, 2009

As Spring steadily approaches, Goofy Faces is gearing up for yet another season of caricatures and face painting at our retail stands located at the Louisville Zoo and the Toledo Zoo. This is where some of our newest artists show off their talent at drawing caricatures and painting faces for zoo guests all summer long. Prices range from as little as $5.00 for a face painting to $20.00 for a color face and body caricature. It's an inexpensive way to add some smiles on your next visit to one of these great zoos. We hope to announce another zoo location coming soon!
