“We had Nick visit our home for a birthday party for our little man. The visit was incredible! Both kids and adults were captivated by his presentation. His warmth, patience, and inclusivity made the event truly special, and we couldn’t have been happier. The educational and conservation focused element, along with the hands on experience with the animals definitely made for a party to remember. Thank you from one very happy 5 year old whose birthday wish was to hold a snake.”

“We had the pleasure of spending two fun filled mornings with Ben. The kids absolutely loved his wildlife show he put on in cragieburn. He was amazing at talking about the animals and involving the children. He had them jumping out of their spots on the floor with excitement. Thank you for bringing your wonderful animals and knowledge and teaching us all some new things.”
