How many people can honestly say they popped out for an ice cream and ended up making best friends with a cockroach? Or got to see how skinny the legs of an owl really are? Or found out from a giant snail what life is like on the hermaphrodite dating scene?

These are private one on one sessions so enjoy a chat with our friendly handlers and feel free to ask any questions you’d like (about the animal, of course - we’re no good at astrophysics). We’ll happily take photos for you.

From bugs to birds, keep an eye on our Facebook page to find out who we intend to bring with us on the day or just turn up for a lovely surprise (we do take the welfare of our animals very seriously though, so our VIP guests can be subject to last minute change).

Although suitable for all ages this is your chance, adults, to enjoy five minutes’ peace with the unique animals you want to see while the kids are at school (hopefully)!

Please dress appropriately for the weather. These are outdoor events and the ground can be uneven, muddy or prickly -so we strongly recommend boots or closed toed shoes. The welfare of our animals is paramount so please bare with us if we need to change our VIP animal guests at short notice or ask you to give them some space.
