Encounter Info
Please allow us 15 minutes to set up before the start of the encounter. For Critter Encounters, we ask that you provide enough space for a 6' folding table. For the Critter Booth, we will need enough space for two 8x8' canopies.
For outdoor encounters involving reptiles the temperature must be between 60-85°.
Hand sanitizer will be provided and is required for anyone who wishes to touch the animals.
Audience size determines the extant of animal interactivity. We will do our best to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to interact with the animals. For large groups we will typically call up one or two kids to hold each animal, and at the end everyone can come up and touch the animals. For birthday parties we recommend booking us at least 15 minutes after the start of your event so that all attendees are present.
Safety
All of our animals have been handled extensively. That being said, they are still animals. We will show you how to properly interact with them to mitigate the risk of harm to both you and the animals. We will never bring an animal that has a history of aggression.
