Another wonderful birthday party experience provided by Reptizoo! Our animator, Catherine, was friendly, knowledgeable and patient, and made sure kids of all ages felt included. Grownups present learned a lot too! Most of Reptizoo’s animals are rescues, and they are very obviously very well cared for as they fulfill their mission of educating kids and instilling them with a love for small creatures.

Thank you Reptizoo!

My students loved it and the rest of my classes are eager to see them. A welcome visitor in these uncertain times!

Raffael had been talking about wanting a Reptizoo birthday party for months, following a lunch time class at his school. When the pandemic hit and we knew an in person party wouldn’t be possible, I went on the Reptizoo website and low and behold, we could have one virtually. And it was fantastic – Raffael and his friends were thrilled.. Pat was fantastic with the kids and they got up close and personal with the reptiles, spiders and of course, Snowball ! A highly recommended birthday party!”

Pat and his employees have been great at engaging my students during every one of their visits. Their presentations always entertain and educate the kids in my class, and they also allow me to later link components of my curriculum to what they have discussed with my students. I have also had Pat present for my children at my son’s 5th birthday, and they enjoyed being able to see the animals up close. Being able to handle the snakes and turtles was my son’s favourite part, and even my two year old paid attention!

Big thanks to the team at Reptizoo! Not only was communicating and booking simple and easy, they showed up on time and were super professional. You can tell they do this to educate and are passionate about the animals. Their presenter Stephanie was amazing too. She was animated with the kids and informative at the same time. She was able to capture the attention of 10 four year olds easily, and they all listened intently and were very captivated by everything she said. The presentation is very interactive and she takes her time to make sure every single person has a chance to touch or hold the animals. I would 100% recommend this for any kind of event, even the adults were really interested! And the price is very reasonable for the quality and length of the presentation.

Pat at Reptizoo is an absolute legend at wrangling little people – even a huge group of unruly five year olds – and somehow manages to get them not only excited and engaged, but QUIET and SEATED. Despite our huge group, Pat was able to actually connect with each kid, and teach them a tonne of interesting facts. He also took the time to make the birthday boy feel extra special. It’s clear he enjoys what he does. In planning the party, Pat was friendly, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Can’t recommend Reptizoo highly enough! Thanks Pat!!

Pat Benattar made a presentation to the residents at James Street in May 2019. It was an amazing and fascinating experience of a lifetime. Pat has an incredible knowledge of his reptile friends. He has a very entertaining way in how he presents the unique characteristics of the various reptiles he showcased. Pat is an engaging presenter. He encourages us to connect with the reptiles and through this, we were able to appreciate these living creatures and their contribution to life on our planet, past present and future. I highly recommend his presentation and I am confident you will enjoy him as much as we did!
