One-on-One Family Sessions
Prices start at
£100
for a 45-minute experience
​
£50 per additional hour
​
£30 per additional animal
This experience for a maximum of five people is perfect for the school holidays or if you want a quieter and more personal experience.
We bring four of our animals directly to your home (more if you book a longer experience), offering you the most hands-on and personal of all our experiences. You'll have the chance to learn in detail about each individual animal with plenty of handling opportunities. A member of our team will be on hand to answer any questions and share their own experiences.
​
This experience is especially suitable for families wishing to have an exotic pet of their own but would like some guidance first, or for families with shy, sensitive, or neurodivergent* children who would not enjoy a busier animal experience.
​
*Our team have plenty of experience working with children of many backgrounds, including those with autism or ADHD. If you have any questions or concerns we are happy to have a chat about what we can do to keep your children happy and engaged during their animal experience.
Birthday Party Experiences

​

​
£30 per additional animal
Have a truly memorable birthday with our animals! There is no age limit on our birthday experiences, so it doesn't matter what age you are turning, you are never too old to have fun and learn something new!
Our standard one-hour birthday package includes four animals, while our two-hour experience includes six animals. If an hour doesn't seem like quite enough, we also offer ninety-minute experiences with five animals for £160.
Each experience includes a informative talk about each of the animals followed by handling and creating great photo opportunities and memories. We also make sure to take the time to answer any and all questions!
Everyone will have an opportunity to meet each of our animals on the day. However, for larger groups (over 15) we recommend booking a ninety-minute or two-hour experience to ensure there is plenty of time available.
School Groups
Prices start at
£150
for an experience with one class
​
£75 per additional class
​
£500 for an all day event
Our school group events are perfect for any school that wants to bring something different to their classrooms.
We can tailor our experiences towards both younger and older students, and can provide talks that are a combination of handling and animal science, incorporating topics that the students are currently studying. If you have something particular in mind, let us know and we can work with you to ensure we provide an experience that compliments your teaching in the classroom.
With older students we would like to engage them in discussions and debates about the topics covered in the curriculum but also create an interactive experience with the help of our exotic animals. For younger students, we spend more time encouraging the children to interact with the animals, allowing them to learn about them in a more practical sense.
Prices for our School Group Experiences will vary depending on how many classes you'd like us to work with and how long we'd be at the school. For an exact quote contact us with your requirements and we'll get back to you.
