A: Expect to be entertained and educated by our enthusiastic and knowledgeable animal educators, have the opportunity to touch and interact with the animal guests.

Q:Will the children hold the animals?

A: Although it may seem fun to hold the animals, allowing children to hold could lead to animal escapes or injuries.  Our main focus is the safety of the children, the safety of the animals, and the safety of the presenter.  The presenter will hold the animals while the children touch them.

Q:Do you do anything special for the birthday child?

A: Your birthday child will help choose the order of the party animals, be first to touch the animals, and may have the opportunity to assist the presenter as directed during the program.  In addition, the birthday child receives a complimentary and educational science-themed gift.
