What to expect

Built around the animals—and the audience.

A live animal program creates a natural focal point at a busy community event. The team can discuss a scheduled presentation for a seated audience or a staffed display for guests arriving throughout the day.

Crosstown Exotics reports repeat invitations from Illinois events, and early booking is recommended for popular weekend and seasonal dates. Provide the event schedule, estimated attendance, site conditions, and preferred format with your inquiry.

  • Presentation and display options
  • Works for mixed-age public audiences
  • Indoor and outdoor possibilities reviewed in advance
  • Repeat-event and multi-program scheduling available

Plan with confidence

Questions about this program.

Can the program be outdoors?

Some events can be held outdoors, but weather, temperature, shade, surface, and animal welfare must be reviewed before the date is confirmed.

Should a festival choose a show or display?

A scheduled show suits one large audience; a display is often better for continuous foot traffic. The team can recommend a format.

How early should public events book?

Popular weekend and seasonal dates can fill early, so request availability as soon as the event schedule is known.
