One by one, each of the animals are brought out and everyone (including the grownups!) gets a chance to meet/hold/cuddle all the different creatures. While the animals are being handled, James explains a bit about their habitat, behaviour, feeding habits and lots of other interesting and fun information. There is plenty of time during the session for people to ask questions and there are lots of great photo opportunities!
The maximum number of children in one session is 20. This ensures that everyone gets an adequate amount of time to meet each of the animals and any stress caused to the animals is minimised. There will be 90 minutes with the animals, your buffet will be served after this. £50 surcharge applicable to this party.
