“Amazing organization. We asked them to come for my daughter's 10th birthday party and it was just perfect. All the kids were heard saying 'best birthday party ever!'. A few said, 'best DAY ever'.
Audra was a very responsive and clear communicator from our first email interaction to our last. They were friendly, punctual and accommodating.
Audra was so great with the kids, setting behavior expectations, joking with them, and teaching them lots of new things. Most importantly I saw even the most apprehensive kids warm up to the animals and quickly develop an appreciation. This was a totally special and priceless experience, highly recommend.”

"The animal ambassadors who presented were outstanding! All of my students left the presentation with a greater understanding of the value of snakes in our local habitats, the unique aspects of each species, and a more profound respect and comfort level with snakes as creatures with which we share our environment!"

“Audra is AMAZING! She and her reptile friends came to my son's 8th birthday. The kids ranged in age from 4-10 and even the adults were in awe. She was so patient with the kids and you can see how much she loves the reptiles and what she does. She was also really responsive when I called to see if she was available. Audra was really flexible and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about it! I'm pretty sure this will go down as one of the best birthday parties ever.”

"The students love sharing their own experience with snakes and having a discussion about the role of snakes in our ecosystem. My class really loved being able to experience the live snakes."

“Audra MADE my son's birthday party!! To say he enjoyed himself and her creatures is a huge understatement!! Audra was kind enough to share 6 of her babies with us. She was so engaging and taught us about the animals while making sure everyone felt comfortable! Can't recommend her enough!”

“My son's 10th birthday party was a hit! Kids (3-10 yo) loved the animals. Audra did such a great job educating them and giving them turns to hold them. It was very interactive. It was a great show and folks really enjoyed it.”

“I recently booked Audra for my daughter's birthday party, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I spoke with Audra, organizing the event was a breeze. She was incredibly accommodating and made sure to include a variety of reptiles, knowing my daughter's love for geckos.
Audra's punctuality and professionalism were commendable. She arrived on time and led the show flawlessly, captivating both kids and adults with her wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for reptiles.
My daughter and her friends were thrilled to interact with the reptiles in a safe and engaging manner. Audra's passion for her work truly shone through, making the experience educational and entertaining for everyone.
If you're looking to add a unique and unforgettable touch to your event, I highly recommend Audra's reptile show. Thank you, Audra, for making my daughter's birthday one to remember!”

“We just had our party with you on Saturday in Codornices, and I just wanted to thank you and Jonathan, and tell you what a wonderful experience it was. The kids (and grown-ups for that matter!) had so much fun, learned so much - and it was so great to have a “normal” feeling event, where the kids got to be together doing something fun, after everything the kids have been dealing with re: COVID.”

“Audra and her critters were the star of our party! We loved having her and her lizards, geckos, tortoises, turtles and more! She was punctual and really great with the children. It was very exciting and educational for both the kids and adults. I also admired the way she handled and respected the animals.

She has some really cool critters and it was a great chance for some photo ops. Great entertainment all around. 10/10 would recommend!”

"We love having you all visit Nystrom! Students are learning more and more about their relationship to their environment and community, and animals are a huge part of that! Thank you!"
