This was HANDS DOWN one of the best experiences my children and their friends have ever had with live animals! Dave is a natural not only with his animals but also with the kids. He has such a laid back and gentle nature and you can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching kids about the animals. He answered all of their questions (and the kids had A LOT of questions) and was so pleasant and mild mannered. My kids haven’t stopped talking about their experience with Dave since he left! If your little one is obsessed with animals, snakes, and lizards (like mine) stop searching and hire Dave Marchetti! You will not be disappointed!

Dave's animal experience was amazing! I booked him for my daughters birthday party and it was a hit! He was great with the kids. He has so much patience and knows how to keep them entertained. The adults also really enjoyed the show. We all learned something new that day.

We saw Dave at a birthday party today and he was excellent! You can tell he loves the animals & cares for them very well. He kept all the kids fully engaged and taught them about each of the animals he brought with him. The kids were so excited and my son talked about it the entire night after getting home! Another guest at the party left a negative review that was entirely uncalled for & quite frankly untrue. There are just some individuals who can make a problem out of anything. I plan to book Dave for my sons birthday next summer!

We saw Dave’s show at a birthday party this past weekend and he did a wonderful job. He is so knowledgeable, and is very calm and patient with the kids. My daughter was initially terrified of snakes, but was so comfortable with Dave and the show that she decided to hold one. She hasn’t stopped talking about snakes since! Thank you for a really fun and educational experience.

We had Dave and his animals at my sons 5th birthday last weekend and have nothing but amazing things to say! The kids were engaged and loved learning about each animal. They enjoyed holding them, and asking questions. Dave is professional, knowledgeable and caring! Will definitely book again!

By far the best animal experience around! We so appreciate what Dave does. We've had him for several parties and gone to many other shows as well and it just never gets old! He is engaging, informative and the hands on aspect is the best.

Dave was amazing! We had so many kids and he had them sitting listening to every word. He then let them all hold the animals and everyone had a blast even the adults. Perfect entertainment for a kids birthday party. Would love to have him back for another event, highly recommend!

We saw Mr Dave's show at school and then at a birthday party, as soo as I learned I coukd have hom come to my house I wrote down his number. We had him at my son's 6th birthday party and everyone had such a great time!! Kids still talk about it and learned so much. He is so patient and teaches about the animals too. Mr Dave can capture an audience! Even little kids!

My wife and I were racking our brain for this ideas for our son’s fourth birthday party. We stumbled upon some reviews for Dave’s animal experience. Our son loves reptiles so we figured we would give it a shot. We booked Dave for a 2pm appt, and let me say…. He did not disappoint. The kids were completely fascinated by every animal he brought; especially Wally. I couldn’t believe he was able to maintain the attention of a bunch of three and four year olds for almost two hours. The kids got to hold pretty much any reptile the wanted. It was amazing!!! Even the adults had fun. If you’re not sure what to do for a bday party, I highly recommend Dave’s Animal Experience!!!

Awesome time and great show Dave puts on! He's very good with the kids and doesn't rush he takes his time and let's everyone hold the animals awesome can't wait to have them visit next birthday party!!

Dave came out yesterday for my son’s 4th birthday. To say he was a hit is an understatement. Everyone enjoyed his visit both kids and adults. He made sure everyone got to touch or hold any pet they wanted. He was patient listening to the kids and answering any questions. He kept them engaged asking them his own questions about what they knew about the animals. Dave was great with the kids, my son’s already asking for him to come back. We will definitely have him back in the future. Highly recommend!

My daughter saw one of Mr. Marchetti's presentations at her elementary school and asked for months if she could have him bring animals to her birthday party at our home. He was amazing and everything she hoped for. His knowledge about his animals and his ability to connect to an audience of toddlers through adults was impressive. Our hour with him flew by, and many brave volunteers were convinced to try handling his scaled, spiky and furry friends. I would highly recommend an animal experience led by Mr. Marchetti - he is clearly passionate about what he does and very willing to share his knowledge in an engaging way.
