Lions & Tigers & Bears, oh my!…read more Ok, that's not quite what Critter Squad Wildlife Defenders (CSWD) is all about... BUT...... Wouldn't that make for an interesting kids birthday party! Imagine this... Billy's older brother: "Hey, Mom, Where's little Billy?" Random party goer: "He was last seen petting the Tiger." (Tiger looking extra guilty & licking his lips) Billy's Mom: starts crying hysterically, "Not my Baby boy" Suddenly, Billy comes around the corner licking his own lips while holding a shaved ice from the shaved ice truck at the party and says, "'mommy, why are you crying?" Phew!! (Crisis adverted) Wait... Where's suzie? (Billy's little sister).... (Que to the dramatic piano) Dun, Dun, Dunnnnn Moving on shall we! Thankfully, for your sake and for little Susie's sake.... Critters Squad Wildlife Defenders only has birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, porcupines, snakes and other fun, cute, furry little animals/reptiles that won't harm you.... Just make sure to follow the directions of your assigned wildlife team member. For us, our first and only encounter with CSWD was at a recent birthday party that we attended for one of our daughter's fellow classmates. Like most kids birthday parties, all the usual suspects were on site. A bounce house, a birthday cake, snacks for the kids, a table for all the gifts and of course those wild and crazy kids running around having fun. But this party had some had special guests. Some scaly, some a bit pokey, a few that were soft to the touch and others that had 8 eyes and 8 legs! So as everyone arrived to the party and got acclimated, the host of the party got everyone's attention and had us all set up on the grass for the "special surprise." Kelvin from Critter Squad enters that chat. Yeah, Kelvin was super cool and was very knowledgeable about all of the critters and reptiles he brought out to show. He was great with the kids and parents in attendance and everyone who wanted to participate to touch, hold or get a closer look of the different animals, were all welcomed. At the party we attended, the package included a few different Snakes, a Tarantula, a Porcupine, a bird and a few other critters that were all definitely the stars of the party. Although it was not my party, I witnessed what a great addition this could be for a kids birthday party, especially if they love animals or you want to do something unique. Definitely check out their website for pricing, packages and availability. And don't fret about little Suzie, she was located in the bounce house =)

I was looking for a petting zoo for my daughter's birthday and came across Critter Squad. The price…read morewas reasonable and they seemed to have some animals that were slightly different to other petting zoos. I decided to try it out and was able to book online. I missed a call the next day from them to confirm the details and place a card on file. I tried calling back several times each day for a few days, left a voicemail, sent an email, but was not able to reach them until a week later. Before confirming, I was reading through other people's reviews and started feeling a bit concerned that maybe they wouldn't show up to the party, especially since I had already paid the deposit. After confirming all the details finally, I was hopeful. The day of the party came and everything went smoothly. The staff was friendly and my kids loved all the animals. At the end of the day, it was worth it for me because my kids and all the other kids at the party got so much enjoyment out of it.

We just celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday at Diva Girlz and it was such a fantastic experience…read more From the moment we arrived, the staff came out to help unload everything from my car and handled the setup so I didn't have to lift a finger. The girls were given robes and immediately started getting their nails or makeup done as they arrived, which kept everything organized and moving smoothly. After glam time they played games, walked the runway for a fashion show, and finished with karaoke. The girls had an absolute blast the entire time. Dina, the owner, was wonderful to work with and was there making sure everything ran perfectly. One of the sweetest surprises was that the birthday girl got to pick a gift from the store at the end. And when the party wrapped up, the team even packed everything back into my car. Truly the royal treatment! Such a fun and stress-free birthday party experience. I'm so glad we discovered this hidden gem.

There's an actual schedule and they stick to it, which meant the kids stayed engaged the whole time instead of spiraling into chaos. We only brought the adults' food and the cake. Everything else was handled. Staff helped unload from the car, set up, ran the party, cleaned up, and sent us on our way. One-stop shop. They also knew how to make the birthday girl feel like the star. The staff worked her into the show in ways that gave her extra moments throughout, and at the end she got to pick out a gift from the store. Another part every parent appreciated: the party ended on time. No extended goodbyes, no kids melting down at the door, no awkward "okay, we really have to go now" loops. It ended, everyone was happy. Thank you!

She's really blossomed and the social and kid interaction is a plus! On a separate mommy note: the facilities are so clean, toys sterilized after each class, and booking process so easy- and a very fair value on the bundles!

The kids LOVED it! And it was great for the adults because the kids never left the bubble stations. There were so many different wands and ways to make bubbles. The lady who came did such a nice job. She was very friendly and so sweet to the kids. Any time someone had trouble, she would patiently show them how to make the bubbles. As the activity went on, she introduced other bubble making tools like a rope. Each new item captivated the kids. In particular, a few of the kids were timid at first. I thought the lady was very kind and encouraging. All of the kids warmed up to her and took part with the bubbles. I was happy to see some adults getting in on the fun as well. And even some parents teaming up with the kids to try to make the biggest bubble possible. It was a ton of fun all around. At the end, everything was cleaned up and taken away. It was a very effortless way to have an outdoor activity for kids. Highly recommend!

From the start, scheduling and putting down the deposit was very simple and straightforward. Nat reached out ahead of time to confirm timing, location, and all the details, which made everything feel easy and well organized. During the party, Nat did an amazing job showing the kids how everything worked, demonstrating some seriously impressive bubble skills, and most importantly were incredibly thoughtful about how to engage with each child. Some kids wanted hands-on support, others preferred to jump right in on their own, and Nat handled that balance perfectly. Nat also did a great job keeping the space tidy and ready for the next kid, which made the whole experience feel calm and well run. We received so many compliments from other parents. My 67-year-old dad said it was the best birthday party he's ever been to. Honestly, I don't know how we could have another party at a local park without Bubblemania. Truly incredible and worth every bit.
