A Live Reptile Show Your Kids Will Never Forget
We bring 7–8 amazing reptiles right to your event — birthday parties, schools, scout troops, libraries, and more. Hands-on, educational, and full of surprises.
Everything You Want. Nothing You Have to Worry About.
Hands-On Experience
Guests get up-close time with real reptiles — touching and holding animals at their own comfort level, always supervised by expert handlers.
Genuinely Educational
We teach kids about reptile biology, ecology, and their role in nature — in a way that's fun and age-appropriate. Great for curriculum tie-ins.
We Come to You
No venue stress. We bring everything — animals, equipment, and a sound system — straight to your party, school, or event space.
Bringing Chicago Kids Face-to-Face With Nature
Founded by Jim Galeno, a lifelong nature enthusiast with hands-on experience at the Brookfield Zoo and Milwaukee Zoo, JG's Reptile Road Show has entertained and educated thousands of kids across Chicagoland.
Our expert team introduces guests to an impressive collection of reptiles — from Burmese pythons to American alligators — all hand-raised from hatchlings. Safety is always our top priority, for both the animals and your guests.

Turning Fear Into Fascination
Reptiles are among the most misunderstood animals on earth. Our goal is simple: help kids and adults see them differently. If even one person thinks twice before harming an animal because of our show, we've done our job.
Every show blends wildlife education with genuine comedy — because the best way to learn is to laugh while you're doing it.
