Amazing

We had James come out for a kids’ party and he was absolutely fantastic. He brought a wide selection of animals and was incredibly knowledgeable about all of them. He kept the kids fully engaged the whole time and made sure every child got a turn to touch or hold the animals. The kids loved it and it really made the party special. Highly recommend!

Brilliant person , brilliant event.

We recently had an animal show for our youth community, and it was hands down the highlight of our programming! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The communication during booking was professional, and the pricing was incredibly fair for the quality of the show. The presenter was amazing—highly engaging, patient, and knew exactly how to keep the kids captivated while teaching them about the animals. The animals themselves were fantastic, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. If you’re looking for an educational, fun, and hassle-free event, I cannot recommend him enough!

Amazing service! Loved by kids and the parents.

James was absolutely amazing with the children at my son's 6th birthday party. He kept them all engaged for over an hour. The range of animals he had to choose from was great, and the kids and adults both had the best time looking at, learning about, and holding the animals. Highly recommend.

Fantastic from start to finish

Thank you so much to James for making our daughter’s 6th birthday party an absolute hit with not just her, but all the children. He was kind and funny, made my daughter feel special by letting her hold and touch the reptiles first with it being her birthday and then everyone got to hold/pet each reptile too. He was very informative and kept the children entertained for the full hour. We loved having him at the party and couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you again :-)
