Curious Creatures

Curious Creatures is a company name that pops up a lot in my house! The first time was about 4 years ago when they visited my then 2 and 3 year olds daycare. My girls came home with stories of turtles and other wonderful animals they had met. That night we went searching for «friends» to rescue. About a year later we met Curious Creatures at a birthday party filled with about 20 – 30 4 year olds and their siblings. Their patience and kindness helped even the most timid child approach the animals. Recently, Curious Creatures visited my children’s summer camp. Needless to Sam my girls feel like old pros and were eager to hold the creepiest and wiggliest! To my surprise they came home with facts and knowledge about the «habitat» and life of their favorite creature from the day. Someday I hope to be able to host a Curious Creatures party for my children!

Snakes and Cupcakes! We had Curious Creatures come to our son’s preschool for his birthday as an alternative to party at indoor play center. It was a huge hit with teachers and kids. Frogs, snakes, chinchilla, alligator, tortoise and other creepy crawlers… Dean was fantastic with the 30+ preschoolers and toddlers… Keeping things moving along and entertained… He really has natural way of connecting with the kids at their level without being «cheesy» or fake. My son really enjoyed the program with all his friends and teachers. After the hour program, they enjoyed cupcakes… Easy way to celebrate his birthday without the party invitations, organization and clean up and unneeded extra presents toys etc. The cost is similar to indoor play center party and I didn’t have to limit who we invited. For ages 3−4… You can probably get the shorter program option as they were all not paying attention after 30 minutes. Make sure you have a good camera… The kids faces were priceless when each new visitor was introduced!

I couldn’t wait to write this review. I’ve seen CC at company parties and they were always a hit with the kids and even the adults. I was so impressed that I decided to have them come to my house for a birthday party. Lenny was super friendly, informative and had such a genuine personality. You couldn’t help but feel totally safe letting him drape a boa snake around your neck. Its a rare opportunity to get up close and even hold these animals in the comfort of your own home. My guests were so amazed that they took Lenny’s business card to set up a visit too. Its totally worth the money for the memories and fun photos!

I went to a 6 year’s birthday party yesterday and Curious Creatures performed. He and his animals were fantastic! He (I forget the guy’s name) brought about 10 animals including fluffy the boa constrictor, a tarantula, sandy the flying squirrel, a chinchilla, and even a small alligator. There were a few others too, but I forget what they all were. You could hold or pet all of them. The show lasted for an hour or so and both the kids and adults were enraptured! He told a few funny and educational little snippets about each animal and you could ask questions too. I learned a few new things. The animals were shockingly well behaved. I never thought I would enjoy the entertainment at a kids party so much!
