Animal Embassy: Bringing Life to Education

Animal Embassy is dedicated to fostering an individual’s appreciation and respect for the natural world and the incredible diversity of life on Earth. We specialize in providing hands-on, interactive, and entertaining, educational experiences.

With exotic animals rescued and adopted from inappropriate domestic circumstances, Animal Embassy is able to connect people with myriad animals representing many species and habitats. Through naturalist guided field trips, enrichment programs, wildlife exhibits, multimedia presentations and photography exhibits, we are dedicated to connecting with children, adults and families.

We adapt our programs to reach audiences in preschool, elementary, middle and high school classes, as well as public and private audiences such as libraries, nature centers, churches, synagogues and senior centers.
