Fur, Scales and Tails Animal Shows

Absolutely an amazing show!!! I cannot express how wonderful Tracy is with children, and how great of a show he puts on. We had him come to our elementary school and visit 115 Kindergarten and T-​K students, and every student in the audience had a great time. Even the adults were having a great time, and my co-​worker told me that this was the best assembly she has ever seen in her 15 years of teacher. I was nervous if the young students could sit for a 40 minute show, but they were so entertained that not one student even asked to use the restroom! He made sure everyone who wanted to touch the snakes was able to, and they all were able to touch 3 animals on their way out. For 115 students, that’s pretty amazing! I would absolutely recommend Tracy Hill’s show to anyone, and will be asking our PTA every year to fund this event for my students.

I own a large capacity daycare and have had Tracy come out many times and kids of ALL ages loved it and were THRILLED with the show. Tracy shows total respect and love for the animals too. Im having him come out sgsin this next month for the 4^th time. Best show ever.

Tracy came to my daughter’s 4^th birthday party today and he was amazing. He arrived on time, brought a great variety of animals, and even let my daughter take part in the show a couple of times which she loved. The kids were so entertained, they were yelling in participation and laughing the whole time, and the adults had just as much fun. His antics were surprising, cute and hilarious. I got nothing but compliments from everyone who went, and several said they were going to recommend him to mother’s groups, etc for entertainment. I would absolutely hire him again!

Tracy did a great show today in ssf.
And that review from SUMMER K? don’t mind it, she a hater.
I hope to book Tracy for my kid’s bday event.

Tracy and his assistant entertained the kids and adults today at our 6 year old’s birthday party. They set up efficiently and then kept everyone entertained. The kids were howling with laughter and so were we! The animals are very cute and clearly well kept after. He seems to care about his animals and is not rough with them. They all seemed calm and healthy. Tracy had a great way with the kids and adapted to the personalities very quickly. Highly recommended!

I’m surprised to see such rave reviews. While the lead entertainer clearly likes animals and was very entertaining, he showed very little respect for the animals. They were treated as props, tossed around, jokes were made about throwing them into the audience. They were also kept in boxes with wood shavings (which most small pet owners know causes respiratory issues in rodents). As a long time animal lover and keeper, many of the «tricks» he had the animals do were in fact the animals being scared or trying desperately to get their balance. I strive to teach my kids to treat animals with respect and gentleness and so it was jarring for them as well. Would not want to attend another event.

I’ll repeat what everyone has said already…
Tracy is a great addition to a party!!! He enthralls the kids for the whole show and the adults have a blast, too! He came to my 2 yr old godson’s birthday party and was a big hit!
His patience and demeanor are so easy and friendly that even the shyest of our kid group moved in close.
The only thing is that if you confirm a month or two ahead (which is necessary since he’s so popular) be assured that he will show up. We tried to re-​confirm the week of and day of but we didn’t get a reply. Which made for a nerve wracking morning of «Will he get here? He didn’t respond my voice mail or email.»
He showed up right on time as promised, but it would have been nice to get a re-​confirmation the day or days before.

Terry & his adorable animals were a total hit at our son’s 5^th birthday party!!! He couldn’t have been easier to schedule with — and the show was great! He kept nearly 25 kids (parents too!) sitting, captivated, participating and best of all – laughing and giggling the whole show thru. Days later, we had neighbors down the street asking us what all the laughing was… It was awesome — and the set-​up happened before I even knew he had arrived — we couldn’t have been happier! Thanks Terry!

this is the best show we have seen ever.
It was better than any zoo or safari visit.
The cutest animals and the best hosts… We called Tracy for my son Daivik’s 2^nd bday party.
Kids had a blast and adults enjoyed as well. Guests came up to us and appreciated the
brought life to the party!
It was the prime attraction. Tracy is amazing and this show is the greatest thing you can add to your party.

Tracy was booked to put on a show during my holiday party and he was great. He was very easy to work with and was very accommodating in jumping through all the hoops that was asked of him. His show was very entertaining, not only for the children but the adults present. Everyone raved about the show after it ended. I definitely appreciated that his assistant made the effort to clean up after their show. I highly recommend Tracy for your event.

Tracy and his show was amazing! He had the kids and parents laughing the entire time! I would totally, totally hire him again! Thank you for making my daughter’s bday so awesome!

We had Tracy come for my son’s bday party and it was a TOTAL hit. The kids LOVED it, especially the bday boy. I was worried that the 4 year olds would get a little antsy during the show, but he had them all captivated and rolling with laughter. It was money well spent. Highly recommend Tracy and his services

Tracy did his wonderful show at my son’s four year old birthday. The show was outstanding! He has a fun variety of animals. The kids loved it (and parents thought it was fun too)! I was a little concerned about this group of 4 year olds sitting through the entire show — but he’s GREAT and getting participation and the time flew by. I hope to book him again for my 2^nd child in a few years. One tip — if you know you want to book the show try and do it at least a couple of months in advance as his times do fill up quickly.

This was the best show ever! They came to a neighborhood Easter party and it was certainly a crowd pleaser… for children AND adults!
He was SO good with the children and all the animals. Really he should be on TV!
Thanks for your enthusiasm and education!!! Keep it up!

My son wanted an animal/​Wild Kratts themed party, so I was looked to the Unilocalers to help me find an animal entertainer. To sum up, I’ll just reiterate what
apparently everyone else already knows: Tracy the Animal Show Guy rocks!
Tracy is a former kindergarten teacher and that is noticeable in the way that he interacts with the kids. His sense of humor is totally age-​appropriate, and everyone – kids ages 3 – 7, the parents, and grandparents – was entertained by Tracy’s silliness. There was some shrieking among the older girls over some of the larger reptiles, but Tracy was adept at retaining control of the audience.
We had Tracy entertain in the front yard. If you’re wondering about space, Tracy brought out a tarp for the kids to sit on, probably about 7′ x 10′. His «stage» consists of the animal boxes and folding tables, and probably required a similar amount of space. There was also an assistant who helped hand him various animals/​animal boxes throughout the show.
There was a large variety of animals: reptiles (iguana, tortoise, pythons), amphibians (frog), birds (chicken and baby chicks, duck), mammals (rabbit, hairless rat, hamster), crustaceans (hermit crab) and arachnids (tarantula, scorpion). And of course, the kids were very excited to see each one of them, and even pet a few of them. Post-​party, a number of the parents expressed appreciation for the experience.
Tracy is a great entertainer. I recommend him without hesitation!

I haven’t Unilocaled in forever… I just so rarely get great experiences anymore but I felt absolutely compelled to review. Tracy was just here over the Memorial Day Weekend for my son’s 8^th birthday party. I cannot recommend him enough! We had 21 kids ages 5 – 13 and about 15 adults and every single person had a smile on their face! Not only is Tracy entertaining, but very educational! Later that night my son asked why I forgot to ask Tracy to come to his party last year:)
Tracy arrived 15 minutes before the scheduled show time and every part of the show went without a hitch! He was able to engage all the children, yet made a point of recognizing my son’s birthday. His experience as a former kindergarten teacher truly shows. He accepts Square for payment and is friendly, efficient and so professional. I have given his business cards to everyone at my work. Truly the best part of our party! Thank you Tracy!

All the five star reviews don’t lie — Tracy’s show is great! I was planning on just having your regular old boring birthday party for my son’s third, but after seeing the reviews and checking out some videos online (
) I booked Tracy to come perform, mainly because I selfishly wanted to see the show myself!
It’s hard to get a room of 1 – 5 year olds to sit still for five minutes, but Tracy was able to keep them captivated for the entire 45 minutes! Including my birthday boy, who to be honest, doesn’t even care for petting zoos and the like (see, I told you I was selfish when I booked). I was amazed at how much he enjoyed the show, and Tracy did a wonderful job at making him feel like the star of the show while still engaging all the other kids. And all the animals were just perfect for a room of preschoolers — Tracy made even the snakes seem very approachable. I think the adults in the room were more scared of the 8 ft python than the kiddos, who jumped right in at petting! The show was fast paced, with lots of appropriate humor sprinkled in. My only complaint is that I didn’t record it for future viewing!
Where Tracy stands apart is his customer service. Booking him is a piece of cake, with no ridiculous deposits or sales pressure. Even when I had to cancel last minute because of a medical emergency, he took it in stride and just told me to let him know whenever I was ready to rebook (no «thanks for screwing me out of a Saturday afternoon booking, lady!»). And when it came time to pay him, there wasn’t even a tip line on his Square invoice, unlike other vendors that try to milk you for more. He just aims to please and he definitely succeeds! I’m happy to support this class act. :-)

Tracy came to my son’s first birthday, Safari Adventure in Lathrop. They came on time and set up within 5 mins. Tracy and his animals friends did a superb show at my son’s party. Everyone was engaged to his show: kids, adults, even my son. Thanks!

Tracy just came down to San Jose to perform at my son’s 3 year old birthday party. He brought everything he needed with him (I just had to provide the shade) and he set up super quickly as the kids all gathered around. He assessed the ages in the audience and had them pegged perfectly. There was lots of silly humor, but it was *perfect* for the kids. I’m sure he must adjust the humor/​content depending on who his audience is. As a parent, I enjoyed both Tracy’s show AND the squeals, giggles and reactions from the kids around me. The animals (well most of them) were cute and the kids were all enchanted.
I’d definitely recommend him to others. All of the other parents at the party had really nice things to say about him too.

We’ve had Tracy perform at our summer camp two summers in a row now, and I’m booking him for a third immediately!
As the logistics person for our program, I appreciate how professional Tracy is. He is on-​time, easy to be in touch with, and provides all information I need to make the show happen.
As an audience member, I have just as much fun as our campers do! His shows are funny, interactive, age-​appropriate and just super duper awesome.
