Audience Participation Always Welcomed And Encouraged

Animals are displayed in a show-and-tell format and audience participation is not only welcomed, but strongly encouraged. All of our critters are very tame, allowing you and your party a hands-on experience so you can see exactly what makes each animal so unique. Many of our animals are quite large and all of them are memorable in presence and rarity. NERD parties and educational shows offer a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity so be sure to bring your camera. You may also engage our professional photographer for pictures of your special event.
