Seth was a pleasure to have host our son’s birthday reptile show. He was engaging and friendly and so knowledgeable! He made the kids smile and laugh, and the parents, too! The kids got to see the animals up close and hold and touch them if they desired. Thanks again Seth!

Hi Justine,
Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it, and thank you for being so inviting and hospitable! Everyone was respectful to me and the animals, and I'm glad everyone had a great time. Have a wonderful year!
Thanks,
Seth

The kids had such a good time. The animal collection was amazing. And they handle the reptiles in an amazing manner. Allowing the kids to interact with the reptiles, while at the same time teach the children about conservation efforts. The turtle race was a favorite.
Thank you for making our event a hit! We will certainly be hiring you again.

Response from Prehistoric World PA:
It was such an honor to celebrate with you! The children were fantastic, and the adults that participated were so funny! Everything was just perfect. We can't thank you enough.

Overall, great party for my 5 year old son and his friends! The hosts did a good job explaining the animals and interacting with kids. The only thing I wish I had known ahead of time or had a say in were the animals they brought. I didn't know there was an option to have large snake come for additional costs. I think in future it would be nice to let party hosts select the animals coming to party.

Hi Erin!
Thank you for the review. Once again, I would just like to say what a wonderful group of children that attended your son's party! They made my day.
I appreciate the constructive criticism regarding the party options. We will continue to try and encourage people to check out our website, as this booking agency (Gigsalad) only allows us to put in so much details.
Thanks again! You guys were amazing!
The team was incredible and easy to work with for our event. We can't wait to work with everyone again for our event next year!

We had two shows for our different age groups, and the children LOVED it. They are still talking about all the reptiles they saw!

Crystal and her assistant provided the perfect addition to our Easter Breakfast with the Bunny event! They arrived on time, provided a fun and special bunny petting experience for our event guests, and event went above and beyond to decorate their bunny corral with Easter decor. I am very happy we added them to our event this year and hope to have them back in future!

Safari Seth did a great job with about 50 K-5 cub scouts!

We hired Prehistoric World PA for our sons first birthday party and can’t recommend it enough. Seth arrived on time, was professional, and super knowledgeable about all the reptiles. He was engaging and fun and all the kids (and even adults) at our party had a blast! 100% would recommend booking them for your next event.

Great company to work with and very communicative. Seth was great and the kids really enjoyed the program. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kept everyone safe while still getting the chance to touch the animals. We will definitely book Prehistoric World again for any future reptile shows!

We booked Prehistoric World for our son's 8th birthday party. The process was so easy and they answered all of my planning logistics questions so quickly. The price quoted was very reasonable for a full reptile show.
The party was great. Cobra Curt arrived about 30 minutes before showtime to set everything up. Once the show began, he brought out animal after animal and shared all about them, effortlessly answering questions from excited kids and adults. In total we saw about 10 different reptiles including turtles, snakes, lizards, etc. Each kid got plenty of time to touch or even hold the animal if they wanted to. Curt was so kind and warm to all the kids.
I will definitely recommending Prehistoic World to others looking for a fun and unique birthday party experience.

Crocodile Crystal was amazing! It was highly informative, interactive, and fun. Highly recommend!!

Had a wonderful experience with Prehistoric World! We hired them for my son's 6th birthday- so a room full of kindergartners- and everyone (even the adults) loved it!

Crocodile Crystal and Kurt came down to help us celebrate our daughters 5th birthday! It was amazing! She brought a wide variety of reptiles and had so much knowledge about them— but talked about them in a way that the kids could understand and enjoy. She let the kids pet and hold the reptiles and was soooo patient, especially given how excited they all were. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!
Animal Entertainment, Reptile Show

We were so thrilled with entertainment that was provided for our daughter's birthday party! Prehistoric World provided two presenters for our event as well as numerous interesting animals. The presenters were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Everyone at our event (kids and adults) enjoyed the presentation and were thrilled to interact with the unique animals. We particularly enjoyed the turtle race and the animatronic baby raptor! They far exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them for your next event!
