Folsom Zoo | (916) 351-3527
Since 1963, this small unique California zoo has been providing sanctuary to some very special animals. All are non-releasable. Many were raised, and rejected, as wild pets. Others were injured or orphaned in the wild. Most are native to North America. All have names and personalities, and their individual stories are posted at the exhibits, along with factual, up-to-date information about their species.

Thank you so much for coming to Sarah's birthday party. The kids (and adults!) absolutely loved your program. You are a gifted teacher, and I love the messages you impart. I know several of the children said they wanted you at their next party (and I hope you are!). Sarah said she wants her next birthday to be exactly the same. Thank you for sharing your message and love for the animals with us.

Thank you again! The children were just in awe. To watch them was as exciting for me as the snake was for Austin. Thank you so much for being so good to him on his birthday! He really had a great time. His next words were "we should have her over for Grandma and Aunt Chrissy because they missed her." You do a wonderful presentation. I so enjoy you with the children!

Thank you for participating once again in Oakwood's Science, Math and Computer Fair. As last year, your wonderful presentation style and critters were one of our most popular events.
- Jane (Organizer of Science, Math and Computer Fair)
We wish to thank you for the presentation with your "critters" during our Home School Week. As promised in your promotion, all students were entertained with your animals and information. Your program is in keeping with the goal of education to develop an enlightened and educated youth in regard to the animals of our planet. Students and parents alike enjoyed the opportunity your program provided to learn about our planet's lesser known animals. These animals became more familiar to them in your relaxed but safe environment, especially the ball python! Snakes for many parents are intimidating. We look forward to your future presentations with much anticipation. Thanks again for a great morning!
