Records and Burpee

Records and Burpee is a Massachusetts-based animal entertainment company founded in 1987 by Lawrence Records and Alexandra Burpee, operating from a private 28-acre farm in Dudley. Rather than a traditional walk-through zoo, the organization is best known for delivering New England's premier live animal presentations at fairs, schools, libraries, museums, and special events throughout the region. Their traveling zoo shows and educational programs feature a fascinating roster of animals including squirrel monkeys, macaws, Burmese pythons, American alligators, boa constrictors, sulcata tortoises, llamas, and kangaroos. Records and Burpee also offers petting zoo experiences, camel rides, pony rides, and zoomobile school outreach programs, bringing wildlife education directly to communities. Their live shows are seen by more than one million people annually, making them a beloved and long-running family entertainment institution across New England.
