A Wild Party in Edinburgh!
Wild Science offers hands-on Animal Handling Parties in Edinburgh and across the UK. Children and families can meet reptiles, mammals, and amphibians up close, guided by expert presenters. These interactive parties combine fun and science, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Edinburgh is famous for its castles and cobbled streets—but did you know it’s also a top spot for meeting unfamiliar animals? Wild Science brings an Animal Handling Experience Party right to your home, school, or venue. We come to you with real animals—no cages, no screens, just hands-on learning and fun.
Get Close to Real Animals
Our mobile animal party includes:
-
Snakes you can hold
-
Lizards, you can gently touch them
-
Rabbits and guinea pigs to cuddle
-
Tortoises to meet
Each session is calm, safe, and interactive—perfect for curious young minds.
Learn Through Touch, Story & Science
Engage in interactive experiences with Mobile Animals, where participants can interact with the animals, offering a unique opportunity to touch and feel them. Additionally, they had the opportunity to learn about these incredible animals up close and personal. Kids interact with the animals, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of the real world.
Our team shares cool facts while kids interact with the animals.
