Jungle James was fantastic! We had him for a group of 6-year-olds, and both the kids and adults loved the show. The animals were a huge hit, and James was funny, engaging, and incredibly good with children. The presentation was educational without ever feeling like a lesson, and he kept everyone's attention from start to finish. He was also very reliable and professional. On the day of the event everything ran smoothly. Overall, a spectacular experience and one of the best kid party entertainers we've worked with. Highly recommend! PS James traveled from Danville to South Bay for this event, thank you James! read more

Wow--James was the best entertainer for children I've ever seen. We booked him for my son's 7th, and every guest from kids, to parents, to grandparents were amazed by his knowledge, patience, professionalism, and selection of fantastic animals. Many guests remarked he should be on television given the quality of his teaching. He goes above and beyond to engage a full audience and make the star of the party feel incredibly special as a key assistant and with an adorable shirt. James was kind enough to travel to the Peninsula. If you're anywhere in the Bay Area, reach out to see if you're lucky enough to be in the areas he covers. I'd gave him 10 stars if I could. read more

We've used Jungle James for our end of year park field trip entertainment for a few years now. He's always on time, professional, and great with the kids. He has a great way of being excitable for the kids, while explaining why it's important that they stay quiet enough not to scare the animals. His show is well loved by our students and parents each year, and we look forward to watching it! read more

Jungle James just did my 5 year's old birthday party and was fantastic. Made it super entertaining for adults and kids. He spoke at the 5 year old level and made it educational as well. Really made our 5 special as being the star who got to hold the animals, but took the time to pass the animals around so others could touch and see. read more

We scheduled Jungle James to come to our house for my son's 6th birthday. He's a huge fan of snakes and Jungle James did not disappoint! He was great with the kids (ages 2-8) and held their interest. It was so cool learning about each animal and the birthday boy got to hold a frog, bearded dragon, and three different snakes! I highly recommend this business. It was super easy to book. My only suggestion is a confirmation call or email the day before or day of the event, just to ease the worried mom's frantic party planning mind that all things are a go! read more

Jungle James saved the day! After a forecasted rain storm ruined our pool party plans for my son's birthday, I frantically started looking for alternate solutions. With barely 4 days notice I reached out to Jungle James. I thought it was an impossible long shot knowing how popular he is at children's parties. As luck would have it another family cancelled due to the weather so he had a spot open. To say I was elated was an understatement! The party was a success due to James. He is *amazing* with the kids and incredibly knowledgeable about reptiles. He obviously has a true passion for what he does and it shows. He successfully entertained kids and adults alike. My 6 year old also felt really special being able to hold some of the animals. I would give Jungle James 10 stars! read more

James was promptly on time, great with communication and was really knowledgeable about all of the creatures. Thank you for an amazing show! Highly recommend. read more

James was amazing with the kids at our son's birthday party. He delivered an engaging and educational show and our son got to hold many of the animals because he was birthday boy. He's normally quite shy, but the animals and James were so fun he went up there and cheerfully pet all of them. He even held up half of the 50 pound boa with my husband!! Thank you for these memories we will treasure. On a planning and logistical note, James gave us good advice about set up, timing, and he arrived early and set everything up on his own. read more

Best part for me was when I got to hold a python around my neck, Definitely reccomend you get the 110lbs Albino python....it was a show stopper. Thanks Jungle James for a amazing show!!!! read more

We love Jungle James! We have known James for years before he was "Jungle James." He has an unconditional love for creatures and has a fun-loving attitude for critters and kids. This is our 2nd party with Jungle James for our son. We just love all the insects, lizards, turtles and snakes! Not just because we get to touch them, but because James (and his crew) educate kids and adults about these sweet creatures that most people are afraid of. I love their website and that we get to choose the kinds of creatures in each category that we want to come to the party. I wish we could invite them all! I really like having the photos and names of each animal on the site. I sat down on the computer with my son and let him pick his "guests" to his party. What a fun and interactive way to get your child involved. James & Erika are both very friendly and knowledgeable. Their one-hour show was entertaining, and the pace kept the kids (ages 3-16) interested the entire time. They are both patient with all the children, letting them have turns to ask questions, tell stories, pet the animal or wear the snake, all the while giving the guest of honor the utmost attention during the show. If my children wanted a reptile show every year, we would do it! read more

Jungle James was amazing! First of all, he is a real professional in zoology - James answered every question (related and unrelated) with ease. Lovely personality and crowd control skills are top notch - it is not a peace of cake to present to around 20 kids, but James had no issues whatsoever. Everyone left the party totally happy(kids and adults alike) and with great memories. And now siblings want the same for their birthdays, too. read more

Jungle James Animal Adventures - Albino Burmese Python, the highlight of the party. - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Jungle James just left our house. He was amazing!!! The animals are all cared for and treated well. He provides fun and education, and I especially liked teaching the kids why it's not safe or a good idea to touch or grab an animal's face. He sets up quickly and has great communication. We had such a good time and all the parents commented on how fun it was. My mother in law loved it! It was really fun and educational, and just the right length of time for 4/5 year olds. read more

I've seen this guy perform at a kid's birthday party. Very impressive. Great with kids, knows his animals, and he had a fine and diverse collection of critters. Not only were the kids entranced, but the adults were as well. This particular show was focused on snakes as the birthday boy had a passion for them, but James displayed other animals as well and coaxed quite a few timid people to touch them. I particularly liked the tiger salamanders (so big!) and the huge yellow python. What a beautiful snake! read more

I'm going to add another 5-star review for Jungle James because he absolutely deserves it! My kids were talking about the party they attended for days after seeing him and his frisky friends! You don't need a big area to bring a zoo to your house -- James and his assistant set up everything in about a 6'x6' area to entertain their young crowd. The show was a little under an hour, with James bringing out a new animal every 10 minutes. All the kids (about 12) had enough time at the end to play with all the animals, and the birthday boy was glowing with pride as James wrapped a snake around him while his friends watched in awe. The group picture with a yellow python on their laps was icing on the cake. James was very professional and accommodating. Great complement to any jungle or safari-themed party! read more
