Uncle Tony’s Pop up show

A creepy, crawly, crazy, hands-on educational experience featuring LIVE bugs!

A group of four people, including two children and two adults, is posing for a photo at Uncle Tony's Reptile Shack. The children are dressed in colorful outfits, one with face paint and the other in a blue and yellow costume. One adult is kneeling, holding a snake, and the other is standing behind them. The background features a green leafy jungle scene and a sign with the name of the reptile shack and a cartoon iguana wearing a hat.

The most HANDS-ON bug experience in the NYC & Philadelphia area!

Uncle Tony's Bug shows include a fun and educational presentation where you will meet, learn about, and even hold your favorite creepy crawlies.
