Creative projects are not only rewarding and fun for our animals, but it is yet another avenue in which we can educate and reach a larger audience. They are available for most any project imaginable; as long as they will not be portrayed in a negative manner. At this time, we typically book at least 6-8 weeks in advance on weekdays. Weekends can be as far out as 4-6 months.
Working with us is different because we not only form strong bonds with our animals, but we understand photography and film making.
We use the animals' natural instincts to our advantage and only with positive reinforcement training methods.
Depending on what you are looking for we will match the animal that best fits what you have in mind for your project(s).
Fall/Winter Hours: Wednesday-Sunday 10am-5pm
Spring/Summer Hours: Wednesday-Sunday 10am-7pm
