Welcome to Critters.ca !

See our new Party page!

Critters offers a unique, hands-on experience for children using a wide variety of small, mostly exotic pets. We have been doing shows in the Greater Toronto Area since 1995. Meet our Critters by checking out some of the fantastic animals we have on staff. Critters has something for everyone!

Over the years, Critters has evolved to answer the needs of teaching professionals by working with the school curriculum wherever possible. Check our school curriculum to see how Critters can enhance your teaching experience from JK right up to grade 6. Try out some of the fun activities and cool links we have provided for you!

Marty Cummings has been working with animals for over 25 years. His extensive knowledge of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, arachnids and arthropods makes him a wonderful resource. His relaxed, thoughtful manner immediately puts children at ease. Marty's personal sensitivity and humour allow each child to explore the animals at their own comfort level. Imagine a child who had been terrified of snakes having one wrapped around their neck and smiling! This happens because the exposure is handled in a safe and familiar setting.

School programs are just one of the many ways that Critters can help out.

  • Birthday parties - "My party ran overtime because the kids just couldn't get enough"
  • Day care facilities - "Over 90% of centres have had Critters back on multiple occasions"
  • Seniors groups - "Critters has become as popular as the grandchildren visiting"
  • Corporate events - "Critters was more popular than Santa Claus at our last Christmas party"
  • Guide and Scout meetings - "Best meeting we've ever run"
  • Television shows - "We get a fantastic reaction with every appearance"
  • Trade shows - "Great way to get people over to my booth"
  • Check out Customer Feedback for more comments.

    One added benefit of Critters is that we come to you! No need to make travel arrangements, find parent volunteers, collect admission costs, track down permission forms or any of the other concerns with taking your group off-site. You can count on us to be there every time, on time.
