It might not be your only option but animating the UIPickerView should be relatively easy for you to do. Add the picker view so it's displayed off the bottom of the screen. When it's time to animate it in:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
    self.datePicker.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height - datePicker.bounds.size.height, datePicker.bounds.size.width, datePicker.bounds.size.height);
}];

And when it's time to hide it:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
    self.datePicker.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height, datePicker.bounds.size.width, datePicker.bounds.size.height);
}];
