Crosstown Exotics is a reptile and bug show that travels throughout Chicagoland providing hands-on education entertainment since 2012. Our lineup of prehistoric creatures consists of a mixture of reptiles, amphibians, and bugs. From African Giant Bullfrogs and Hissing Cockroaches to Green Anacondas and Alligator Snapping Turtles. Audiences get to interact with the animals for an experience unlike anything you’d receive at your local zoo. We take pride in providing memorable encounters with our extensive collection of cold-blooded ambassadors. Hello, my name is Mike Levins, co-owner of Crosstown Exotics. I've been keeping reptiles and other exotics for 20 years. Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I worked in the retail pet world for 7 years and I have been doing educational wildlife programs for close to 15 years. I received my bachelor’s in biology from Governors State University in 2013. I get a real sense of pride and joy sharing my love of animals with others and look forward to sharing them with you
