Educational Programs, Community Events, and Organizations
Looking for an unique experience to bring to your school, summer camp, company, or community? It can be hard to find the right experience for the your budget. We have several options to provide you flexibility in finding what works best for your organization. We also offer custom pricing if you do not see an option that works for specific needs. There are also discounts available for organizations that are local to Baltimore, serve vulnerable populations, serve individuals with disabilities, or book multiple events throughout the calendar year.
Less than 30 children per presentationThis option is ideal for classrooms, summer camps, and day care settings. Our 40 minute presentations are highly interactive and allow each child the opportunity to touch and interact with our animals.

Up to 100 children per presentationThis option is ideal for an auditorium style presentation for school assemblies or large groups. Our 40 minute presentations provide information in an interactive style, but interaction with the animals is limited to select volunteers from the audience.

Animal "Meet-and-Greet" Station or Petting ZooThis option is ideal for field days, community events, and other less structured events in which guests may freely wander from one activity to another. Our animal educators will assist your guests in interacting with our animals. This includes touching, holding, or feeding treats!

Please let us know if you would like us to address a particular topic. We are happy to adjust our program and animal selection to correspond with the theme of your event. Popular themes include “The Rainforest”, “Dinosaurs”, “International Diversity”, and “What’s in my Backyard?”. If you would like your presentations to include to warm-blooded animals (ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, hedgehogs, or parrots), an indoor location may need to be provided as these animals can be temperature sensitive.

Our Calendar and Availability
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, many organizations like Ferrets and Friends, LLC, have gone out of business or have suspended services. As one of the few surviving organizations, our calendar has been filling up more than usual. To reduce requests for bookings on dates that we are unavailable, we have added this calendar so that you may be able to see if your desired date and time would likely be available. If we are unavailable and you are seeking a reptile show, we recommend reaching out to Fangs, Frogs, and More!. If we are unavailable and you are seeking a petting zoo with some fluffy friends, we recommend Cowboy Barry. If you are aware of another service that you would like to recommend that travels to the MD/DC/VA area, please let us know so that we can add them to our list of recommendations. We hope to increase our availability again once our new animal friends and new staff members are fully trained. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
