Wildlife Education You Can Trust

At Dino Buddies, we're more than an animal encounter—we're an award-winning wildlife outreach organization dedicated to making science exciting, accessible, and unforgettable.

Founded by zoologist Tiffany Johnson, our team combines professional animal care experience with interactive education to create meaningful experiences for schools, libraries, birthday parties, museums, camps, festivals, and community events throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Every program is built around three simple ideas:

🦎 Education First
Our encounters are designed to inspire curiosity through hands-on learning, engaging storytelling, and age-appropriate science education.

🌿 Conservation Matters
We actively support wildlife conservation through professional training, community partnerships, field research, and educational outreach because protecting wildlife begins with understanding it.

❤️ Animal Welfare Always Comes First
Our ambassador animals are cared for with the highest standards of welfare and enrichment. We believe every interaction should benefit both the guest and the animal, creating positive experiences that foster respect for wildlife.

Whether we're introducing someone to their very first snake, bringing dinosaurs to life through immersive experiences, or sharing the stories hidden inside real fossils, our goal is always the same—to help people see the natural world with a little more curiosity than they had before.
