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

From our first look on the website, to contacting Animal Club to booking our day everyhting was so easy - the customer service and information was excellent. The actual day was amazing, the staff were brilliant! We booked the visit to inspire the children's writing - it had a huge impact and more! The work was brilliant not only the writing but the chidlren are still talking about the visit a week later! Cannot recommend highly enough

We had Rebecca for our son’s 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 son’s 3rd birthday party! I have never seen a group of toddlers so engaged and still! They were hanging on Rebecca’s 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 :)

John was our Ranger during our kids' 8th birthday party and he and the animals were a massive hit. John was amazing, informative, patient and very friendly. We cannot say enough good things about him or the animals. I highly recommend Animal Club for an educational, unique and very fun experience. I commend Animal Club and John for the amazing work they do educating people about animals.
We had a few kids that were very shy at first but started to really love the animals once they learned about them and got to experience being up close and personal with them. Thanks again!

Booked them for my daughters 6th birthday. It was an amazing experience. Booking was easy and replied to of my queries. All the children in the party enjoyed every bit of it. They were amazed to see and handle so many animals. The ranger (Chloe ) was amazing with children and gave the required information about animals to children. Highly recommend them.

Thank you very much for our animal encounter experience. The children absolutely loved it and were fascinated by all of the different animals and loved getting to handle them! Jon was professional, patient and really good with the varied level of need we have at the school. I can't thank him enough, and also Animal Club as a provider. "I loved it, I loved the snakes and the baby rabbits" - one of our students.

Jon was fantastic with a boisterous group of 3-6 year olds for our boys birthday party this weekend in Cardiff. He engaged them well despite really variable attention spans and dealt some constant questioning from some of the older ones! The kids were encouraged to interact with the animals but he never pressured them to hold or touch them if they weren't keen.
The animals were treated well and if they were asleep or only just rousing they weren't thrust towards a group of kids. Jon turned up on time which is massively important when you are trying to organise a kids party. When the kids descended upon the kitchen for their party food, Jon just tidied up and made his exit with no fuss! The only downside was that we didn't get the opportunity to thank him for such a great experience for the kids. Would definitely recommend, but in hindsight it may have been too much for a "busy" group of 4 year old boys, but the 5-6 year olds present were enthralled.

I just wanted to say thank you for your visit to our Brownie meeting on Wednesday. The girls all loved it, even the one who was petrified of the snakes, eventually! We have had so much positive feedback from the girls and their parents, and I think theyll remember it for a long time. Thank you so much, it was brilliant.

Our 7 year old son and his class mates had an amazing birthday party thanks to Jon the ranger who came and showed the kids lots of fascinating animals and kept all 27 kids attention for an hour with interesting facts and animal handling. Our son has SEN and Jon was absolutely brilliant with him. Jon was so patient even though he had to repeat instructions many times and had great ways to make sure our son could understand what to do and hold the animals correctly. Obviously the phyton was the show stopper with plenty of picture opportunities so everyone had a keep shake. Absolutely would recommend!

Delighted with the animal handling experience. Ranger Shannon was excellent, she really knew her stuff was professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

Writing on behalf of the Halifax Panthers Rugby League Team: The Animal Club were an absolute delight to work with and our fans LOVED their experience with the reptiles on hand! Staff were responsive, on time in good time and were very interactive throughout their time there! We would definitely recommend them and will likely source them again!

Absolutely amazing experience for my little girls birthday party. Communication was fab throughout the booking process and Amys timing on the day was impeccable. Amy was great with the kids and very engaging. It was obvious she cared for the animals and had their best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Animal Club for any event. So much fun and such a great experience for the kids to be around such exotic animals. The bearded dragon and snakes were a real highlight. Thanks again for an amazing experience!

Today's animal show was instructive, without being overly teachy. So much to find out, and I imagine we only heard the beginning of it all. Laura and her partner are clearly mad - she keeps all the worms [as in Celebrity in the Jungle.], tarantulas, pythons, bearded dragons, locusts, guinea pigs etc etc at home, but by the end, one parent was checking out how much it would cost to have a bearded dragon as a pet. I, and others, held a handful of various worms, and a python, gazed in awe as the tortoise sprinted off, and stroked the cuddly things. Amazing stuff, time flew. Thankyou.

We booked animal club earlier this month for my daughters 2nd birthday and I couldnt have wanted a better experience for her she adored every minute. Shannon who ran the session was so good with all the ages of children at the party and engaged well with them all! The icing on the cake was Shannon left my daughter some toy animals for her birthday and it made her day! Thank you so much for giving my little girl an amazing afternoon!

We booked Animal Club for my 10 year old's party. He loves animals and wanted something a bit different and exciting. The ranger was very knowledgeable and friendly. She brought along all sorts of animals, such as fluffy rabbits, reptiles and unusual insects. All the children got to touch and hold some of the animals. It was really enjoyable and something my son will remember for a long time.
