John was beyond great, he was incredibly funny, amazing with the children and very informative all at the same time. He had the parents laughing harder than the kids at times and everyone enjoyed his presentation immensely. I can't say enough about John and Outragehiss Pets!!! read more

These guys are amazing! Saved our party after another reptile guy (snakes-n-scales) canceled at last minute. Super professional, entertaining and educational. Everyone loved it (parents and kids alike!) Made our party for sure. Kids loved every animal. John and his team are the best! From our five year old : Favorite animal - skink Favorite joke - the boys should kiss the pigs butt Favorite mammal - wallaby The python is HUGE! The pig was so sweet (and funny) The chinchilla was so soft and cute! I loved having the gecko on my shoulder! Don't hesitate to book. read more

These guys are amazing. John is funny and super knowledgeable and handles a group of 19 nine year olds like a pro! They were enraptured and engaged and scared and happy all at once! He made them learn without even recognizing they were Learning and we got to pick the animals we wanted to see - and all of them were actually available. And awesome. Boa, tarantula, cayman, wallaby, some giant rodent animal, tegu (huge lizard) and his dog-like pig Hamlet. As the parent, I was as into it as any of the kids and John also is genuinely funny and cares about making the kids laugh too. They do such a good job that I feel like the cost was a bargain. And all the kids present cane away from it having had fun and gaining knowledge about so many animals. And petting them too? read more

Kids' birthday parties generally suck unless, of course, you're a kid and, unfortunately, I'm not. That said, I actually really enjoyed my nephews' party at Outragehiss Pets. It's like a small indoor zoo with some really cool animals, some of which you might not see elsewhere. I mean, who the hell knows what a Binturong is? It's so rare that my spell check tried to change it to "disturbing". This really is education with a big emphasis on fun that's not limited to kids. There are all sorts of interactive activities for parents to choose from all that involve animals, of course, and teach the fundamentals of respect, adoration and wonder. If you are looking to plan a party for junior and want something besides cake, ice cream and Chuck E Cheese, give them a try. Awesome fun place. And you may even find yourself sticking around for the festivities. read more

I hired Outragehiss Pets for my son and niece's first birthday party. With 20+ kids expected we figured we needed some form of entertainment. John showed up was set up and got the whole rooms attention very quickly. It really says something when you can hold the attention of not only the kids but the adults as well. And so many of my guests came up to me after saying how great the show was. My oldest even told John he was just like the 'Wild Kratts' which has become a favorite show of her's lately. Thank you so much! read more

We decided to treat our twin granddaughters to a visit from Outragehiss Pets for their birthday. What a wonderful enjoyable time we all had!!! We got to choose 8 critters from a wide selection of animals and reptiles. We had the chinchilla, blue and gold macaw, tortoises, baby bunnies, hedgehog, sugar glider, artic fox, and a large boa constrictor!! Nicole was the presenter and she did a fabulous job!! She kept the children interested and fascinated the whole hour. She is very knowledgeable and makes the time a real blast!! Everyone was commenting on what a great idea for the party!!! I can see I'll be doing this for all the other grandchildren in the future!! . read more

My cousin threw a joint birthday party for her three kids (3,5,7 all within a month or two of each other) and she booked these guys. Nicole came and brought 7 or 8 animals and the kids and adults loved it. She was entertaining and engaged all the kids and knew how to handle the animals and the younger kids who don't listen very well. I was very impressed with her. She presented the animals over the course of an hour and it was a hit with kids and adults alike. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to do something fun for a kids party. read more

I am so pleased with this company. They really did a wonderful job in creating memories and fun for my daughter's birthday party. This is great entertainment for children and people of all ages. Thank you so much for all you and the animals added to our special event! You will hear from us again in the future. read more

Great place! Brought the kids while visiting Jersey for the holidays. Only 30 minutes from Clifton. Really cool animals, fantastic animal show. The staff was great. Couldn't beat it for $5.00. It's really geared towards the "younger crowd" but my 14 year old found it interesting as well. Great option for a cold day too, it's totally inside. read more

I just realized that I never reviewed Outragehisss Pets after a 4th birthday party they did in our Manhattan apartment in May 2018. I'm far too exhausted to go into all the details but it was absolutely fantastic - great communication, a professional team, and Nicole was wonderful with all the kiddos. We will absolutely work with them again when my younger child is old enough to enjoy one of their parties. read more

This is the best animal show EVER! John was hilarious, both for our small gang of 8-year-old boys who were wrapped around his pinky and for all the adults who were cracking up too. What a great time! read more

This was a fabulous experience for both kids and adults. John was charismatic and hilarious. He connected with the middle schoolers and the parents and provided a birthday party that will be talked about for a long time. His knowledge about the animals was impressive and he communicated it without ever seeming like he was teaching. The animals were all fascinating and approachable. I can't recommend John and his party highly enough. read more

What an amazing presentation and the perfect addition to our party - from babies to grandparents!! Nicole was just fantastic and entranced the entire group the entire time - her enthusiasm was infectious and her adoration for the animals obvious. And what variety! Every animal was a hit. Thank you! read more

We had the pleasure of having Nicole do a live animal show for our son. She was absolutely amazing. She was knowledgeable, kind, sweet and most of all fun! We had so much fun, adults too! I would recommend to anyone ! The animals were so cool too! Our favorite was the wallaby! Excellent! read more

We celebrated my son's 5th birthday yesterday and Outragehiss Pets did not disappoint. I should say John did not disappoint. It takes a lot of talent to keep the attention of 20 something kids and adults. The animals were awesome and John's presentation of them is amazing. He was funny and entertaining and an overall great easy going guy. Both the kids and adults enjoyed the show. Thank you for making my son's birthday party a huge success! read more

We hired John from Outragehiss pets for our daughter's first birthday party. We had seen John present once at a school event and our older son was very impressed and begged to get the wild pets for the party. John is one of the nicest presenters who really cares for what he is doing and makes sure the show is educational as well as entertaining. We had several of our guests asking for John's information after. We would definitely be having more shows from this company. read more

We just had a visit from Outragehisss Pets for a birthday party we threw last weekend. They were absolutely wonderful and I can't recommend them highly enough! Nichole was warm, funny, energetic and related well to the kids (even as the sugar glider pooped and peed all over her). She took lots of time to answer our questions and obviously loves her job. We chose the arctic fox, Cuban iguana, hedgehog, blue-tongue skink, sugar glider, baby alligator, armadillo, chinchilla and got the Burmese Python as a bonus. All were fantastic and we got to touch all except the alligator. All of our party guests loved the experience and we are so glad that we went with Outragehisss Pets. They do great work. read more

This is the second time we have had them in for my daughter's party (first at 8 years old and now at 9 because she wanted it again) and it doesn't disappoint. There were 22 9 year old girls and not one of them even stood up let alone break attention during the presentation--he is simply phenomenal. We have done many birthday parties (3 kids worth) and this always ranks up as one of the best of all of them. If you are having an animal party--it doesn't get better than this. Can't recommend high enough. read more
