Wild Encounters joined us for our fall festival. The monkeys they brought were so sweet and loveable. My residents and their families loved learning about the monkeys and holding them. Everyone was able to be as hands on as they wanted. It was a memorable day. I will definitely book with them again.

We had the best time with all of your furry friends - spider monkey, screaming armadillo and raccoon. The kids were delighted and lots of giggles and excitement. It was fun to do something different for a birthday party. The adults were also entertained by your animals and your stories about them. Thank you for making this the best birthday for our daughter! Highly recommend.

Wild Encounters was nothing short of amazing! Not only did we get an hour in our home with the most adorable spider monkeys. We also learned a tremendous amount from Michael. It was so much more than the standard "petting zoo" party visitors. Wild Encounters made our monkey-loving six years old's birthday one he will never forget. We are forever grateful!

We had an amazing experience with Mike and his animals. He was so kind with our kids and the animals were so sweet and friendly. We loved hearing about the animals and all of the kids got to hold a monkey which was so incredible. Thank you for such an amazing memory!
