Our live animal presentations are more than just a traveling zoo! We are a licensed provider of hands-on animal education for all ages. There's no better way to learn about the fascinating creatures we share this planet with than up close and personal. Our animal educator, Melissa Kowalski, has a love for teaching, as well as a love for young learners. She is patient and provides gentle guidance for people of all ages.
NEW! Announcing Rent-a-Reptile! This is a great program for families and groups that want the joy of having a reptile without making a large financial or long-term committment.
Learn about bringing the field trip to you!
We don't really have a bus, because we don't need one. We bring 5 animals to you in a high MPG, compact car, so you don't have to bring your bus. It's a win-win-win situation for all of us: us, you, and the environment!
Our central focus is on making education fun. Our presentations cover animal behavior, basic biology, the food web, native environments, animal jobs, vertebrate/invertebrates, animal adaptations, and the importance of biodiversity and conservation. Most of our animals can be pet, held, or fed by participants during presentations. We'll bring our live animal shows to your birthday party, school, library, fair, open house, scouts, or any other celebration. We travel throughout Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, DC. Critters & Conservation's goal is to help young people grow up to respect all animals and appreciate animals' jobs within their ecosystems. More on our philosophies.
