🌿 From Nature Walks to Pet Care Talks
Hands-On Learning Starts Here!
At Dino Buddies, our mission is to make wildlife education accessible, unforgettable, and empowering for all. We believe every child—and every family—deserves the chance to connect with the natural world through hands-on encounters, live animal experiences, and playful learning.
Through our low-cost public programs, we aim to remove barriers and create welcoming spaces where curiosity can thrive. Whether it’s meeting a turtle face-to-face or crafting a gecko habitat, our events are designed to inspire wonder, spark lifelong learning, and foster empathy for all creatures.
We are especially passionate about teaching responsible pet ownership—equipping future reptile owners with the knowledge, confidence, and compassion needed to care for animals with respect.
By blending fun with purpose, Dino Buddies is helping raise the next generation of wildlife stewards, herp lovers, and nature protectors—one scaly friend at a time. 💚
