What families say after a Wild Encounter.
Parents repeatedly mention the same things: Kevin keeps children engaged, makes the birthday child feel special, answers questions patiently and keeps the experience fun without losing control.
We had West Coast Exotics come to my son's 4th birthday party, and it was absolutely amazing! The presentation was engaging, educational, and so much fun for both the kids and the adults. He had everyone laughing with his sense of humour while teaching the children fascinating facts about the reptiles in a way that kept even the youngest kids interested.
My son was thrilled, and all of our guests are still talking about the experience. The animals were clearly well cared for, and the presenter was knowledgeable, patient, and fantastic with children. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable birthday party activity, I can't recommend West Coast Exotics enough!
Antonia M. — July 29, 2026We enjoyed this service so much my Son wanted them two years in a row for his birthday. We laughed, the jokes are amazing. very informative and the kids and parents went away a little smarter and with knowledge of which reptiles and exotic pets make the best pets and which ones do not.
I can't recommend them enough!! Three Cheers!!!
Justin B. — July 29, 2026We had Kevin at our son's 5th birthday party and we had to have him back again for his 6th birthday party this year because he was truly THAT amazing!
He brought some really cool reptiles and was so knowledgeable and patient with answering all of the questions from the kids and the adults.

Carissa H. — July 29, 2026He teaches the children compassion and understanding for the animals and facts about them—all while keeping them engaged, safe and keeping the parents laughing too!
'I don't like all animals, but I respect all animals' is going to forever be in my mind!
Brooke M. — April 19, 2026Very easy to communicate with, punctual, and had a great demeanour with the kids—keeping it fun, but very controlled
I would highly recommend for anyone for an easy birthday party idea that was well loved.
Courtney M. — February 22, 2026Kevin gave 24 preschoolers a fantastic intro into his reptiles. Great crowd control and humour.
The kids were thrilled to interact and hold them and he did a brilliant job making the birthday-boy feel like it was his special day, without the others feeling sidelined.

Guests can participate at their own comfort level—holding, touching, observing or simply asking questions.
When the owner is this mature and so patient, you know his animals are in good hands.
Bipasha P. — July 21, 2023Kevin has visited us the past 2 years to celebrate my son's birthday. Both times were incredible!
Be sure to schedule way in advance as there's a reason your date will likely be booked!
