In-house field trips with live reptiles for schools

An in-house field trip brings the science lesson to your school. Randy Lewis, a zoologist with university teaching experience, brings live reptiles to classrooms in Denver and across the Colorado Front Range. Students observe, ask questions and learn how real animals live.

Educational value

A science lesson students can see, hear and (gently) touch

Teachers book My Party Safari because students stay engaged. One kindergarten teacher's Google review noted Randy kept the class engaged for the full hour.
  • Taught by a zoologist: Randy holding a turtle while presenting outdoors

  • Young children sit in a circle on a classroom floor watching the presenter hold a small reptile

    Students ask, Randy answers

    Presentations are built around questions, so students drive part of the lesson.
