School Visits
Bring Wildlife Learning to Your Classroom!
A love for animals and nature starts early. At Critter Encounters in San Diego, we help nurture that curiosity with fun, interactive animal presentations designed for schools and classrooms.
All programs are grade-appropriate and aligned with California State Science Standards.
Our 45-minute school assemblies and classroom programs feature four exotic animals, offering hands-on learning about habitats, adaptations, and species-specific natural history. We also include simple conservation tips, all delivered in an engaging, up-close presentation style that sparks a love for science and learning.
Presentations can be kept general or customized to match your current curriculum, with themes such as habitats, adaptations, conservation, and other topics that align with grade-specific California Science Standards.
Students will have the chance to touch most animals, making the experience unforgettable and meaningful.
Please schedule your program two to three weeks in advance. A deposit is required 10 days before the event, and final payment is due after the program.
We proudly serve schools throughout San Diego County and would love to help bring the wild into your classroom!

Our animal visits bring warmth, wonder, and connection to retirement communities — whether it’s a special family gathering or a monthly visit full of cuddles and curiosity. Every encounter is designed to spark memories, smiles, and a sense of enjoyment that stays long after we pack up the carrier.
