What We Do
What We Do
Mr. Drew and His Animals Too is a natural science and exotic animal rescue and rehabilitation center in Lewiston, Maine. We provide a hands-on approach to learning about science and animals. We cater to clients in the entire state of Maine and some parts of New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Who We Are
Who We Are
We are a family-oriented educational entity. Our Education Center features rescued and rehabilitated exotic animals that can be observed, touched and sometimes held. Our Geological Center allows for exploration of rocks, fossils, gems and crystals as well as a library filled with Natural Science books AND the PrisSonny Mine to enjoy digging and sifting uncovering rocks, gems and fossils along with keeping some of the items discovered.
Mr. Drew travels the state and beyond with an array of animals. He delights and teaches thousands of onlookers annually. He also has great fun with Q&A time, photo opportunities and hands on experiences.
Our animals are mostly reptiles that most people would never get to see if it were not for Mr. Drew and his efforts. Working closely with the State of Maine, we advocate the conservation and protection of the “wilds” with a DO NOT RELEASE campaign to benefit the relinquishment of exotic animals without punitive measures. We also have a #ONEPIECE campaign, challenging all persons to pick up and properly discard trash in their surroundings. Everyday, every person… what are your city numbers?
Furthermore and most importantly, we have gained proper permits and made commitments to move illegal and invasive species out of the state on a quarterly basis.
*For teachers, we offer a FREE program which allows the teacher to choose an animal, within their comfort level, to explore within their classroom, for one week. Mr. Drew brings the animal with all of its necessary care items, educates the class on the care of the animal and returns at the end of the week for a report on their findings. Amazing program!
In ending, our business is solely funded on donations, payment for our travelling shows and entrance fees to our Center. Our goal is to provide an educational, safe and fun experience for all those who enter, regardless of their financial status, religion, race, orientation, creed, abilities, etc.
ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!

I have not been to the rescue education center but I have had to call Mr. Drew on more than one occasion to ask some reptile questions and he responded quickly. He was also very knowledgeable and kind. He is such a great source/person to have around. Also, years ago, he did a birthday party for my nephew and the kids loved him and his animals!

We loved our visit! I got the best pictures of my girls because they were smiling so big and genuinely. They LOVED holding all the different critters. My youngest loved the tortoise/bunny pen. I had a hard time extracting her from there. Mr. Drew was great with my kids. He is knowledgeable and the animals are well cared for. The center is clean and safe.

This was the highlight of our rainy day. I’m not sure what everyone else was doing on that rainy day but I would say we were at the best place in town. What an amazing place to visit! The kids can learn and have fun at the same time. Mr. Drew and his wife are wonderful.

The kiddos always love interacting with all of the different, new, and exciting types of creatures! Fantastic gem of a place! Thanks for all you have done, Mr. Drew!

I love this place, the people, and of course, the ANIMALS! They truly love their animals and you can tell that the second you walk through the door. And this is all out of the kindness of their hearts. I have a huge spot in my heart for Gomez the Tegu, he has stolen my heart as he has many others. But they are all wonderful creatures, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

For under $10 for a family of three, you cannot beat the entertainment and education Mr. Drew provides. We pet snakes, spoke to snapping turtles, cradled lizards, and tasted bugs. It’s such an amazing adventure found in the heart of Lewiston. Our daughter absolutely loved the snapping turtles (especially King)! The staff was so incredibly welcoming and was always ready to educate. We can’t wait to go again!

It’s wonderful that kids (and adults) can hold some of the reptiles. I loved seeing kids walking around the center with snakes draped around their necks. Mr. Drew is also very knowledgeable about all his critters, and is always happy (and eager) to answer questions about any of them. It’s very obvious that he truly loves what he does.

We had a great time! Beyond what we had expected. I think I had more fun than the kids. Mr.Drew and his daughter, Amy, were very friendly, knowledgeable, and were eager to answer our million and one questions!
