SCHOOL EVENTS
Our engaging, hands-on school programs use live reptiles, amphibians, and other exotic animals to teach basic life science concepts. We'll bring our animals to you, or you can bring your class to us.
We offer school programs that will suit any group size, from just a handful of students to large scale assemblies for big crowds.
Programs can be 1-2 hours or full day events.
