Have the ZOO come to YOU!
Educational and entertaining, this hands-on kid's birthday party presentation includes a variety of domestic and exotic animal ambassadors that your junior zookeeper can help us select.
Bonus - We will pack some treats as some animal ambassadors may enjoy a healthy snack during the show.
What happens during the show
You and your guests will join us for a hands-on trip around the globe! We will all sit on the floor in a semi circle and using our trusty squishy pillow globe, move from continent to continent meeting animals like fluffy rabbits, slimy frogs or cool reptiles.
Each animal ambassador is brought out and introduced one at a time so you can learn some neat, fun and sometimes hilarious or gross information about them. Once the introduction is over, your animal handler will bring the animal around the circle letting your guests hold or touch the animal safely under the handler's direct supervision.
Once we have finished meeting an animal it is put safely away into its carrier. Animals are never left unsupervised or free to roam your home.
It's fun. It's safe. It's educational and respectful.
In operation since 2006, Creature Quest is fully insured, licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), voluntarily and regularly inspected by the Ministry of the Solicitor General.

Animal Wish List
Meet the animal ambassadors that are currently travelling to birthday parties. Most animals can be gently touched or held by your guests.
While we will do our best to bring the animals requested, we are unable to make any guarantees.
