Live animal shows in New Jersey
Birthday parties, schools, camps, scout troops and town events across New Jersey. We have been on the road here since 2003.
New Jersey is home. We have been bringing live animals to New Jersey backyards, classrooms, libraries, camps and town days since 2003, and our home base is in the northwest corner of the state.
Licensed and reported in New Jersey
We are licensed by the USDA, permitted by New Jersey Fish & Wildlife, and fully insured. Every show we do in New Jersey goes on the monthly report we file with NJ Fish & Wildlife.
How far we go
Statewide. Pricing depends on your location, and travel charges may apply for longer drives. Send your town with your date and we will give you a straight answer.
What every New Jersey show includes
- Seven to eight live animals, from a walking stick to the Burmese python
- One hour, hands on, with the educator holding every animal the whole time
- Setup and cleanup by us. You provide a clear space about the size of a loveseat.
- Indoors any time of year. Outdoors when the weather is safe for the animals.

Programs we bring to New Jersey
Birthday parties
The party nobody has been to before. We arrive with the animals, run the hour, and leave with the mess. You get the photos.
Book a party
Schools & camps
A multi sensory assembly that reaches every kind of learner. Curriculum friendly, and the only assembly they will still be talking about in June.

Scout programs
Send us the badge requirements. We build the program around them so your troop walks out with the badge earned, not half earned.

Town days & fairs
The booth with the line in front of it. We draw the crowd, hold it, and keep it moving all afternoon.
Check availability
Special needs programs
Quieter pacing, smaller groups, and educators trained to read the room. Tell us what your group needs and we will adjust the whole hour.
Talk it through
Remote program
Too far, too cold, or the whole class is on a screen. The live remote show puts the same animals on camera with the same educator.

The questions we get most
Yes. Children can touch the back of most of our animals, one at a time, with the educator holding the animal. A few stay off limits for health and safety reasons, and we always tell you which ones up front.
Our wildlife educators keep control of the animals 100% of the time. Our animals are well fed and comfortable, which dramatically reduces the chance of an incident. Animals are still animals, so we work with extreme caution the entire hour.
The program runs one hour and seven to eight animals travel with us. That typically includes an insect, a frog, a turtle, a lizard, a small mammal, a baby alligator and the Burmese python.
Yes. We only need a clear space about the size of a loveseat for the educator and the animals, plus whatever room your guests need. Outdoor programs run May 1 through October 31 when the temperature is between 70 and 90 degrees with no rain.
We recommend fewer than 75 children so everyone gets real time with each animal. We can go larger to fit your budget, but the more children in the room, the fewer animals each child gets to touch.
Programs that can only run outdoors, with no indoor backup, need a $100 non refundable credit card deposit to hold the date. The deposit does not roll over to a new date. The balance is paid by cash or check on the day of the program. Cancel more than seven days out and nothing beyond the deposit is owed. Within seven days, 50% of the program cost is due. Within 48 hours, 100% is due. A program that reschedules and runs on the new date owes nothing beyond the deposit.
