    NEW IN 2025

    WILD WORLD OF ANIMAL SHOW!

    Presented by the Two By Two Animal Haven

     

    Two by Two Zoo was established in 1993 by the Iannucci Family; Peter, Heather, Jessica and Casey. In 2020 we have changed our name and we are now Two by Two Animal Haven Inc. We are a traveling animal program whose purpose is to educate the public about animals, their welfare and conservation. Our programs foster kindness and empathy for all living things.

    The animal display includes a 45' primate trailer housing with Ring Tailed Lemurs, Black & White Ruffed Lemurs & Patagonian Cavys. This also includes a Tortoise Exhibit & goats for hands on, as well as a reptile exhibit which includes an alligator, cane toad, snake & bearded dragon. There are reptile encounters throughout the day with set times, a snake & bearded dragon.

    Most of our animal ambassadors were adopted and have been placed with us voluntarily. They now have spacious enclosures, nutritional zoological diets, scheduled veterinary care and daily enrichment/socialization activities.

    We have had the wonderful privilege of traveling all over the Northeast with our unique animal exhibits. We are at every event to provide the public with interesting facts, educational information and to answer any questions they have. We are always eager to speak with the public!

    We truly enjoy what we do! Our goal is to ensure that our animals’ safety, health and overall happiness are top priority. They are our Family!

    Please note, not all animals pictured will be present.

    Our Wild World of Animals show is 20 minutes long. Webring the animals out one at a time. We discuss diet, habits & conservation. This includes: Kangaroo, Parrot, Alligator & Cane Toad.

    Balloon Walk

    A Balloon Walk consists of a hot-air balloon that is anchored at the top end, and at the bottom end, and then inflated with cold air by use of an inflation fan. Rather than standing the balloon with air that is heated by the burner, the balloon is kept inflated with just the cold air. A large, heavy mat is placed over the 'skirt' at the bottom end of the balloon, making it easily accessible for children of all ages, including those in wheelchairs.

    The public can then enter and view the balloon from the inside (without shoes). To make the experience even more fun for children, we typically introduce large inflatable balls for them to play with while they are in the balloon. *This activity is wind and weather dependent and will happen at select times.
