The holidays are here and everyone is gathering to celebrate. With family gatherings, corporate parties, church and club functions, the season is swimming with special events, and Amazing Animals by Samantha wants to help you!

Any of our programs can be combined to form a package. Amazing Animals prides itself on creativity and flexibility in providing attention-grabbing presentations. Each show is adapted to your specific interest, age group and size.

Click on a program below for details and be sure to visit our Animal Troupe for a list of animals available for our various programs.

This one-of-a-kind event is perfect for larger groups and older crowds. We bring all of our trained animals as described in the Amazing Animal Adventure, plus a few more.

Meet Henrietta, our tightrope walking chicken. She even bowls, jumps through hoops, and with the help of the audience, falls into a deep trance when hypnotized. We also bring Daphne our drumming duck, Warner our flag raising wookchuck who has regularly been featured on WGN as well as many other national and local programs.

Our cast of critters is constantly growing and changing to keep the show fresh and exciting for all. Some of our animals as well as our staff can even appear in seasonal costumes for holiday parties or special themes.

All of the animals live with Samantha and are trained through the use of positive rewards. Training is a beneficial and fun way to provide exercise and enrichment for our animals and tricks are based on the animals’ own natural behavior so we are able to sneak in a little education as well.

This is our most popular program for birthday parties, schools, or other gatherings, and is designed to meet any age group and audience size. We can even perform shows with specific themes or topics, such as camouflage, animals around the world, and many other themes. We bring ten animals for a 45-minute to an hour-long show.

As the animals are brought out, we give your guests a chance to meet and pet them while our experienced handlers tell fascinating facts and entertaining stories about each animal. Included in the presentation are at least two of our many animals that perform behaviorally-based tricks.

Callie Coatimundi, our long-nosed, South American friend, rolls out her own red carpet, pickpockets a wallet, and even opens packages retrieved from a mailbox...all through the use of her nose!

Everyone loves watching Rusty Raccoon as he slam dunks baskets and the crowd gets really excited when Caesar the serval, our spotted wildcat, makes his grand entrance with amazing leaps and bounds.

Kiki, our monkey-like kinkajou, is always a memorable treat for the people to meet and we can even bring one of our famous Acro-Cats to perform a few of their amazing tricks.

If there is a birthday child or special guest, we give them extra attention as well as their own safari hat and goody bag, free of charge. Extra safari hats, goody bags, and Polaroid pictures may be purchased for the rest of your guests as an additional service.

Offer your guests a chance to pose with an unusual or exotic animal of their choice. Strolling handlers circulate among your guests with various exotic animals, giving them an opportunity to pose for a holiday picture. A wonderful memento of your special event! Prices vary depending upon special details. We even have a beautiful and tame turkey available for Thanksgiving parties!
