Design Your Own Program We invite you to help us design a program to fit your specific curriculum needs. We would love to assist you by reinforcing concepts and vocabulary words, as well as leave you with some ideas for interdisciplinary, follow-up activities.
Each program features a wide variety of live critters, chosen for their interesting features and ability to fascinate and educate. Our approach is to present interesting and fun information, while at the same time challenging and involving the kids with the program. It has been our experience that an interest in science (in a broader sense) often results from learning about and being stimulated by some fascinating critters. $260 "Boas vs. Pythons" $240 for an "auditorium" program (generally over 35 people) $210 for a second back-to-back "auditorium" program $190 for a "classroom" program (generally up to 35 people) $170 for a second back-to-back "classroom" program $250 for a typical birthday party Hourly for a "festival" booth ($190 for the 1st hr, $170 for ea additional hr) Programs are typically 45-50 minutes in length, but they can be adjusted to meet your needs.
