Animal School Visits London

Exciting Educational Animal Visits Across London

Bring the wild to your classroom with Wild Science’s Animal School Visits in London!

Our interactive educational workshops introduce children and students to a fascinating world of exotic animals, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and birds — right in their own school or nursery.

We’re passionate about inspiring curiosity, respect, and understanding for living things through fun, hands-on sessions across London. Our sessions perfectly combine education with entertainment.

Interactive Animal Encounters for Schools and Colleges

Our Animal School Visits to London are designed to give young people and adults a chance to explore and learn about nature. They do so in an engaging way. From the soft fur of rabbits and chinchillas to the smooth scales of reptiles such as snakes, tortoises, and lizards, every encounter is a new adventure.

Before every visit, our expert handlers carry out thorough risk assessments to ensure the animals’ and participants’ safety. Students get to observe, touch, and learn about different species. They discover how each one adapts to its unique habitat and environment.

Our educational sessions are suitable for all ages — from nurseries and primary schools to secondary schools and colleges. We can also visit care homes and community centres across London.

Reptile and Exotic Animal and Educational Workshops

Not every school can travel to a zoo or farm, so Wild Science brings the experience directly to you with mobile reptile encounters.
Our educational workshops feature an exciting range of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds. This provides an unforgettable learning opportunity for children and students of all age groups.

During our sessions, students can:

Learn about animal behaviour, life cycles, and classification
Understand how animals adapt to different environments
Discuss what animals eat and how they survive in the wild
Discover fascinating facts about reptiles, mammals, and amphibians

Each session is interactive and encourages students to ask questions, observe closely, and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world.

Educational Benefits for Children and Students

Our Animal School Visits to London are not just fun — they’re scientifically enriching. We design every educational workshop to support curriculum-based learning and meet the national curriculum standards.

Students will:

Explore classification, learning to tell vertebrates from invertebrates.
Study life cycles — from tadpoles to frogs and caterpillars to butterflies.
Discover habitats and ecosystems, from rainforests to deserts.
Identify animal adaptations and understand how species evolve to survive.

These sessions make science lessons come alive, helping students develop curiosity, confidence, and teamwork skills while connecting with the natural environment.

Amazing experience with Harriet, we had a birthday party for a 22-year-old, and she was so lovely and explained everything very well. She gave us all enough time with each animal and even let us have Mango, the snake, around our necks while we held other creatures!
Everyone had an amazing time, and the pictures came out wicked!! Even got a picture with Carlos the crested gecko on the birthday boy's head😆
Thank you so much, Wild Science, and a big thank you to Harriet for being a great host☺️

Wholly recommended the experience with Wild Science. From the telephone call through to the day itself, the team are professional and very communicative. Harriet was amazing with the animals and children. Our birthday girl and friends had such a great time petting the animals (as much or as little as they wanted to). Harriet had some wonderful facts to share and responded so sensitively and helpfully to answer all questions the children had. Thanks so much- it was a delight to have you for our daughter’s birthday party.

We really enjoyed our experience with the reptiles, they were so calm and settled, just amazing and great ❤️

Great fun for kids the lady was very nice and the animals were cool

An unforgettable experience. Your kids will love it! We had Susie in Edinburgh, she was exceptionally good - with the animals and the kids, and the grown-ups too! We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking Susie for Wild Science if you're in Scotland. So many memories made!

Suzie held an event in Sandylands holiday park today and we had a ball! every animal is well cared for and beautiful. very versed on each animals needs and nature, took the time to explain certain facts and even sat down at the end of her time to talk more on her other animals! cannot recommend suzie enough!!

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. [...] Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. [...] Harriet created such a calm environment that even our more hesitant colleagues were soon happily holding the snake. We can't recommend Wild Science highly enough - if you're looking to boost morale, reduce stress or just do something a little bit different for your team.

Susie was at Parkdean in Saltcoats and it was a fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and chatted and answered questions from children and adults. Loved it.

Made my child's summer holding a royal python!

Attended a group with my husband & kids. Youngest being 1 & it was incredible. Different kinds of animals, was able to hold what we could & pet the rest.
Thanks again for the incredible experience! Fidget was amazing & we are now thinking if adding ferrets to the family. I hope fidget enjoys his chicken 🐔

Kids had a total blast at Wild Science. So did mum!
We got to meet a cockroach, a snake, 2 geckos, a bearded dragon, a ferret, a mexican tarantula, and a bunny!
The lady was going to name a cockroach 🪳 after my son Leon 🤣 poor kid was peed and pooped on, it was sooo funny! Everyone had such a great time. Thanks for entertaining us. 😆

Animal visit (Summer Fair Gilmerton Community Centre)
The management committee would like to thank Susie and trainee Amy for bringing the animals to the Community Centres Summer Fair. Once again, they were very popular with adults and children. Those attending said they enjoyed meeting and learning about the animals up close.

We were delighted to have both Shannon & Amy attend our free family event at Crystal Peaks shopping centre this Friday. Their communication on the run-up to our event was great. On the day, the head office called us to check everything was ready & the hosts arrived in plenty of time. We had a lot of very excited guests that got to enjoy a range of fascinating creatures throughout the day. The team were great with the public & very knowledgeable about their little critters. We can't recommend Wild Science enough. Thank you for making our day so good.

The animal expert we were lucky enough to have from wild science was excellent. She even managed to keep the kids at a 7 year old birthday party relatively quiet and very interested. Would highly recommend.

It was a wonderful day had by all, the adults and children really had a great time every animal was explained in great detail and we will be booking them for further events

My son (4) and his friends had the most wonderful time! The scientist was totally able to engage their attention for over an hour and they had fun and learned so much too! Thanks for the best party!

We have used Wild Science for 3 years at our school. Each year they deliver wonderful sessions to Nursery and Reception children. We have never had any issues and would recommend them to everyone. The children love the experience and the animals and staff are amazing!

Thank you Wild Science for such an amazing party! Amy was super professional and had the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. My son absolutely loved the animals she brought and we were so impressed with how she handled the group (of 3-5 year olds) and gave them interesting and fun facts about each animal which kept all the kids interested and engaged. It was so much fun, we would highly recommend it!!!

Ross was absolutely amazing. So patient, kind and knowledgeable of the animals and the slime workshop. We had a party of 20 and with the madness that ensued he was always calm and reassuring for each child if they were apprehensive of holding any animal - big or small. Would 100% book Wild Science again, especially Ross.
Thank you for making our animal lovers birthday so special!

Ross came to my sons 3rd birthday, he was brilliant, the kids had a great time, the whole thing was really relaxed and everyone got a good amount of time with the animals and really enjoyed the experience - the customer service beforehand was really good, great communication and lots of questions answered - highly recommend!
