We booked animal club not knowing what to expect for a joint 5th birthday party at a local church hall. What we got was easily the best birthday party event to date. Rebecca was patient and informative, and knew how to keep the children entertained and informed. All 5 year olds, older children and parents were amazed at the range of animals on show. They also appeared well fed and cared for, which is reassuring. 5 stars isnt enough for this incredible experience. Thank you animal club and Rebecca

We had a wonderful experience for my son's 4th birthday party! Charlotte did an amazing job keeping a lot of young children engaged and curious. There were loads of different animals to see and touch. The booking experience and communication were also excellent, everything ran like clockwork - would highly recommend! Visited on Weekend

We just wanted to say what an absolute awesome time we had today! Rebecca was soooo good with the kids, very informative and the animals were so intriguing. It was lovely to see how the timid kids at our holiday club became more confident as the session went on. Please extend our thanks to Rebecca and her very well behaved animals! We will be sure to book again! Al-Hibah Holiday Club, Oxford

We had Rebecca for our sons 4th birthday party. She was amazing with the children and really kept their interest. The animals were so beautiful and looked so well cared for. It was clear they were all well loved. My son absolutely loved the party, especially holding a snake, and the adults really enjoyed it too!

We booked for our sons 5th birthday party and it was the best thing we could have done. Our ranger Rebecca was the most accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable person and a great credit to the animal club. She bought a range of beautiful reptiles, frogs, spiders and insects for the children to see and by the end the adults were just as curious as the children! Rebecca made my sons party so special and one to remember. I highly recommend this option, especially Rebecca to others and will tell everyone we know about our special and memorable experience. Thank you all so much.

Fantastic! Booked for my daughter's 8th birthday party and it was such a memorable morning. Laura, our Ranger, was excellent with the children and you got a genuine sense that she loved & cared for her animals, her pets. From the moment the first animal was presented to the last, everyone including the adults, was enthralled. Don't think I've ever seen them all so mesmorised. Thank you! Would 100% recommend such an exceptional experience!

Our apartment administrator booked an animal-assisted therapy activity for residents during the exam month. During this process, we can touch and feel these animals. The animal club rangers are very professional, bringing many cute and friendly animals and introducing us to knowledge about these animals. I think this therapy is very helpful in relieving the pressure on students during exam months. Thank you from Nurtur house.

We had Nathan at my daughters 3rd birthday party and he was super nice and told the kids lots of interesting facts and information about the animals he had with him! He was patient with the little ones and encouraged them to have a feel of the animals or try and hold them! It was a success kids loved it and so did the adults! Thanks!

Absolutely amazing addition to our sons 3rd birthday party! I have never seen a group of toddlers so engaged and still! They were hanging on Rebeccas every word. She read the room well and the children and adults alike had the most amazing experience. The reptiles were all beautiful, so well loved and well handled. Rebecca was on time and just so lovely, so pleased we booked this and will be booking again for a birthday in the future! Thank you so much, this absolutely made our little boys birthday dreams come true!

A lovely activity - The Animal Club attended our squirrels and beaver group. All adults and children enjoyed the visit. Charlotte was great with the young people, gave us interesting information about the animals and answered all the questions thrown at her! Very patient. She ensured everyone got a chance to hold the animals if they wanted too. The animals were great. I'm now in love with Geckos and Bearded Dragons!

What a fantastic experience we had with animal club at our school. We are a special needs school and our pupils have varying needs. Hannah was patient with our children allowing them all to look at the animals, which is amazing. The range of animals she brought was brilliant and all the children enjoyed the sessions. Thank you

Lovely company and lovely animals. We hired Animal Club for a Charity Party for children with additional needs. We had 200+ attendees and invited Animal Club too. They were fantastic. The animals were so chilled and happy and very happy to be stroked. The handlers were friendly, informative and just so welcoming. All the children and parents absolutely loved the event and seeing the animals. Custard the snake was a big hit and so were the rabbits and guinea pigs! Would definitely use again. Thank you :-

I cannot recommend these guys enough! We booked them recently on a Sunday for my son's 7th birthday party. Dylan and his team, were incredible with the children (and adults!), brought an amazing range of reptiles and animals. They stayed longer than we had paid for to ensure nobody missed out on any animals, were very good at talking through the facts and very patient. Would one hundred percent book again, we had so many comments from parents saying how much the kids loved it! Thanks guys x

We hired an animal experience for my daughter's 6th birthday. The children (and the adults!) absolutely loved it. Laura was brilliant with the children, everyone got a turn with the animals and the talk was informative and interesting for the age range. The animals are clearly well cared for and Laura made sure they were handled properly throughout. Would recommend :)
