In Our Location

Amazing Animal Ambassadors: Meet our live animal ambassadors from around the world as we discover how important each animal is to its habitat. Animals have jobs to do too! We will learn about the tools they use as we get eyeball-to-eyeball with snakes, chinchillas, frogs, lizards and more. We encourage hands-on participation, so children will be able to touch and even hold some of our amazing animal ambassadors. Presentations can be tailored to fit your child’s interests. The program is age-appropriate, fun-filled and educational. For ages 2 and up. 45-60 minutes depending on age. Animal presentation: $275.00* for up to 15 children (maximum 10-15 children).

Behind the Scenes Birthday Bash: What does it take to care for our Animal Ambassadors? Investigate the life of an animal care specialist as we go behind-the-scenes in Animal Embassy. Discover what it takes to feed and keep our ambassadors healthy. The birthday child and friends will get to explore the Animal Embassy exhibit, then participate in a hands-on program with 7-8 of our incredible live ambassadors, such as Sully the Sulcata Tortoise, Grumpy the Nile Monitor Lizard and Argentina the Chinchilla. Kids will discover what different animals eat as they help to make a salad for an iguana, watch as the birthday child feeds a banana to a tortoise or perhaps observe as an alligator eats a little sushi. (Specific animal interactions depend largely on feeding schedules, and animal behavior, as well as the age and number of children.) Animal presentation: 60 minutes. Maximum 10-15 children. Presentation fee: $500.00*.

*There is an additional fee of $200.00 for museum classroom rental, (where you can serve any food that you would like to bring for your guests). Rental must be available from the museum for an Animal Embassy on-site program.
