Hi-
Doing a combined bday for my 2 sons next month and would like to bring in a zoo keeper or animal presenter that has reptiles and other small amphibians. They are totally into it right now and I thought it would capture the attention of a group of boys. Any suggestions or referrals? Thanks!
Thank you ALL for your great suggestions. I've booked with the Mike, the Reptile Man, so I'll let you know how it goes!
Teresa,
I have just the person for you. Mike Burpee does a great show called The Reptile Experience. He has presented at the Dakota County Libraries, various schools throughout the area, as well as parties and such. You can reach him at ###-###-#### and check out his website at www.thereptileexperience.com. (Make sure to include the word "the" to get to his website.)

I took my daycare kids and my kids had him at school and really liked him. It is Bruce the Bug Guy.
Good luck with your search.
Hi,
When our daughters were younger we did birthday parties at the local nature center and they had all kinds of animals including reptiles that captured the attention of all the kids.

I would recommend calling Dodge Nature Center. They have all kinds of animals and you can even have birthday parties there with animals.

Another option, I have a neighbor who did her son's 4th birthday at the Raptor Center at the U of M in St. Paul. My son didn't go, but another neighbor girl did and her Mom said it was great. They have a package you can purchase and do the party right there.
