About Us
Creature Quest Inc. is an animal education company founded on the principal that the living world and its inhabitants are
important
and that learning should be fun and interactive. The utilization of over 50 species of animals helps us not only
demonstrate many biological concepts but provides guests with the opportunity to meet and handle animals they may have never
even seen before. We hope that these up close encounters will inspire participants to help conserve the our natural world and to
choose future pets responsibly.


Our Animals, Our Lives
Creature Quest is a family owned company. The animals we keep are part of our extended family and a major part of our lives. A
typical day includes a minimum of 3 hours of cleaning and feeding the animals and many others playing and socializing them. Any
fresh food eaten by our animals or feeders (bugs that our animals eat) is human grade. It is a lot of work but worth every second.


Supporting Charities
Creature Quest will be donating $5.00 from every classroom program and $0.15 from each loot bag* to help support the initiatives
of the Novas Ark in Brooklin, Ontario.

The money we donate comes off of our bottom line and does not increase your costs. If you would like to make an additional
donation to Novas Ark or learn more about volunteering , please contact the organization directly.


Nova's Ark makes a difference in the lives of many families.
It started out by providing specialized camps for children
with disabilities.  These camps let the children experience a
bit of life that they have been denied due to their disabilities.  
They quickly discovered that their volunteers also gained
valuable experiences; they displayed more empathy,
dedication and enthusiasm for children with
disabilities and their families.

Keeping Pets
Many people enjoying keeping pets. They can help us feel more connected to the natural world, provide us with companionship or act as security.

The majority of the animals that Creature Quest keeps do not make good pets - at least for many people. They have very specific
diets, long life spans, grow to large sizes, need to be cleaned daily, require daily handling and that's just to name a few things.

We ask you do all the necessary research before buying any pet and that you plan to keep it for the entirety of its natural life. If
your circumstances do change, please do not abandon your pet in a local park or out in the country side - it will either be a
guaranteed death sentence or would introduce a species into the habitat that could threaten our natural flora and fauna. Also
please do not refuse it the necessities of life or out right kill it.

It is a privilege to have an animal share its life with you. It is very important to take care of this great gift if not for you, but for
others. Many communities have or are planning to ban exotic animals. This happens when one person makes their pet a problem
to the community and a few people panic because they (and/or owners of the animals) are not properly educated about exotic
animals and their care. These kinds of bans vary in scope but in some cases could mean that even keeping something as
harmless and wonderful as a leopard gecko or bearded dragon could become against the law in your community. So don't spoil it
for others. Treat your animals well.

There are many options for pets you cannot keep any more. Ask friends, family, pet stores or zoos if they would be able to adopt
your animal friend. Or try posting an ad on sites like kijiji.com or craigslist.com. If your animal is very friendly, healthy and you would
be okay with it meeting many people through presentations, we do also take
some animals depending on species and our available
space.
