My six year old child wants to have an "exotic pets" party. I am looking for a person who has the pets and could come to the party a do a presentation and allow the kids to pet the animals. The animals we would like to have at the party are things like ferrets, rabbits, birds, snakes. Spouse would like a monkey, but I'm not going to hold my breath that one is available. Has anybody ever done one of these parties? If so, who should I call? |

We did this for our daughter's 5th birthday and it was huge hit. It was through the Summit Arboretum but you can hire the animal handlers directly - the website http://www.animalwonders.com We had the Magic Carpet World Tour and the chinchilla was a huge hit! |

The instructor who taught "Exotic Pets" at the M/SO Summer program does parties. I doubt that I can put my hand on the flyer that came home, but I would bet that you could call the South Orange Maplewood Adult School and get his name and phone number. |

We did the Animal Wonders magic carpet program too, a few years back. It's amazing how kids can sit still for an hour, looking at little animals. If I remember right, we discussed what animals were available, and which ones my child preferred. |
