ABOUT THE SHOW:
Grant Kemmerer and friends return to the Wildstein Center! Considered to be the Gold Standard by which all live animal stage shows should be assessed, Wild World of Animals is an exploration into the fascinating world of the wildlife we share with the planet. This remarkable show features a menagerie of live animals, including some of the most majestic, interesting, bizarre, and critically endangered species in the world.
The fantastic animal lineup, encompassing arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, are the real rock stars of Wild World of Animals. Grant Kemmerer brings approximately 16 guests to each show, ranging from leopard, monkey, wolf, and badger to the critically endangered red ruffed lemur, plus owl, marine toad, and dictator scorpions, as well as a legless lizard, cobra, alligator, and a 100-year-old alligator snapping turtle.
A hit for naturists, animal lovers, and kids of all ages, Wild World of Animals is an entertaining and educational show in an intimate setting. Kemmerer stresses the importance of animals doing their jobs to keep nature working, and educates the audience to the loss of useable habitat leading to endangered species — a fascinating show for the whole family!
