March 5, 2020I would give 6 stars if I could
We had Marissa at our library. Not only did she draw a huge crowd, but she kept the kid's attention and everyone was just "WOW'D" with her! I highly recommend.

What a great show she put on for my son's seventh birthday party! Marissa was on time, fun, charismatic and extremely knowledgeable about the reptile she presented to the children. Would work with her again

October 7, 2012Mixing fun with education
My son and I got to see her show at "Dinner with Dad" for his 1st grade class. You could really tell how much she enjoyed working with all the kids, and her love for her animals really stood out. I was pretty surprised at how well she was able to not only hold the kids attention, but when they got a little loud and excited she was able to reel them back in very quickly. First grade teachers would be proud, if not a little jealous.
I was pleased to discover that she also does shows at churches, where she mixes her love of Christ with her love of animals. The inclusion of Christ in her stories and teachings is something I would love for my kids to attend.

I can’t say enough good things about Realm of the Reptile!!! Marissa was so enthusiastic on the phone. Extremely professional, answered all questions and easy to contact. Andrew came and preformed at my daughters 5th birthday party and every kid was entertained the whole time!!!! My daughter loved it so much she played animal show all weekend with her stuffed animals. Parents reached out after letting me know how much their kids loved it. Thank you so much for making her day so special and memorable!!!
