Safe and Fun for Every One!
Creepy Critters Can Be Cool!

This show is a favorite of teachers and students alike.  Most animals are
not cute and cuddly, but rather creepy.  We will discuss some of the
creepiest: arachnids, insects, amphibians and reptiles.  People often
confuse spiders and bugs or reptiles and amphibians.  Our goal is to
straighten out the confusion and have some fun.  We will introduce
your students to our animals and hope that they find creepy critters
can be cool not scary!
North American Alligator
Grenwing Macaw
Tropical Rainforest: A Circle of Life

This show discusses how everything in an ecosystem is linked.  Plants
and animals do not live in isolation but are small members of a much
larger environment.  Species rely on one another to provide food and
habitat needs.  Some of the concepts explored are photosynthesis, food
chain/web and habitats.

recommended for elementary school age children.

Meet and Greet

This is a very informal program.  It is generally a
question and answer session.  The audience has the
chance to personally talk to the trainer one-on-one and
pet the animals.  This format works well with small
groups or a revolving crowd.
