Animal Adventures

SpiderManda Animal Adventures offers age-appropriate, engaging animal experiences for children’s parties and special events, using live animals to spark curiosity, confidence, and a sense of wonder about the natural world. Each program is designed to be calm, interactive, and developmentally appropriate, with a strong emphasis on safety, gentle handling, and respect for both children and animals.

Programs are led by an experienced animal educator and specialist with over 30 years of hands-on experience keeping and breeding reptiles and invertebrates, including snakes, lizards, arachnids, and amphibians. This deep practical knowledge is paired with professional experience delivering public-facing animal education programs in science-based and educational settings, ensuring presentations are both exciting and responsible.

In addition to extensive animal experience, the program director brings over a decade of experience as an educator, with a strong background in curriculum design and age-appropriate learning. This means every Animal Adventure is thoughtfully structured, balancing fun, storytelling, and interaction with clear boundaries that keep children engaged, regulated, and safe.

SpiderManda Animal Adventures is grounded in the belief that animals are not props or gimmicks, but living beings worthy of care and respect. By introducing children to unusual or often misunderstood animals in a calm, guided, and friendly environment, these programs help kids replace fear with understanding, build empathy, and experience the joy of learning through real-world encounters they’ll remember long after the party ends.
