The holiday season is a time to spread joy, relax, and celebrate success. For many companies, it’s also the perfect opportunity to bring employees together and boost morale. But why settle for the same old Christmas dinner or party games? At Wild Science, we bring a unique twist to your corporate Christmas events with animal encounters that inspire teamwork, laughter, and creativity.

With over 11 years of experience delivering wildlife education and science entertainment across the UK, Wild Science ensures every event is professionally led and unforgettable. Whether it’s a small team or a large company gathering, our wildlife experiences offer an unforgettable way to celebrate Christmas while promoting unity and well-being.

Bringing Holiday Cheer Through Animal Encounters

The sound of laughter, the sight of twinkling lights, and the smell of hot cocoa—there’s something magical about Christmas. Imagine adding real animal encounters to that mix!

Our Christmas corporate events are designed to spread holiday cheer while giving your team the chance to meet fascinating creatures up close.

Participants can handle reptiles, mammals, and invertebrates while learning fun facts about their behaviour, habitats, and natural adaptations.

Whether you’re sipping cocoa with whipped cream or decorating gingerbread people, having friendly animals around instantly adds warmth and excitement to your event. The experience is both relaxing and energising—perfect for creating stronger bonds among your team.

Why Animal Encounters Are Perfect for Team Building

Team building works best when it’s meaningful, engaging, and fun—and animal encounters tick all three boxes!

Encourages Collaboration – Employees naturally communicate and assist one another during hands-on activities, whether holding or learning about animals.
Reduces Stress – Scientific research indicates that spending time with animals can help lower anxiety and improve mood, allowing staff to unwind after a busy year.
Boosts Creativity – A change of environment and interaction with nature stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Promotes Inclusivity – Our sessions are suitable for everyone, including introverts, extroverts, and all personality types.

When your team interacts with our animal ambassadors, they connect on a personal level, develop empathy, and experience the joy of discovery.

A Festive Experience for Every Team

Wild Science tailors every Christmas corporate event to your company’s goals and culture. We can host sessions at your office, chosen venue, or outdoor location—anywhere that suits your festive plans in the UK.

Each experience includes:

Interactive animal handling sessions
Educational talks about wildlife and conservation
Team bonding activities that encourage participation
Photo opportunities for unforgettable Christmas memories

You can even combine the session with your company’s holiday lunch, charity drive, or Secret Santa exchange, turning it into a full-day celebration.

Meet Our Animal Ambassadors

Our trained experts bring a range of animals to your event, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Each species is chosen for its educational value and friendly nature.

Some of our popular Christmas guests include:

Rabbits and Guinea Pigs – Gentle, cuddly animals that everyone adores.
Snakes and Lizards – Perfect for team members ready to face their fears.
Hedgehogs and Chinchillas – Tiny mammals that always make people smile.
Stick Insects and Millipedes – Fascinating creatures that show the wonder of the natural world.

Our animal ambassadors help employees learn about biodiversity, conservation, and environmental responsibility—important lessons that go beyond the holiday season.

How Animal Encounters Improve Workplace Well-Being

The holiday season can be stressful for many employees, especially at the end of a busy year. Wild Science’s corporate animal experiences provide a welcome break that promotes mental well-being and relaxation.

Spending time with animals:

Lowers stress levels and blood pressure
Boosts serotonin (the happiness hormone)
Encourages mindfulness and relaxation
Builds compassion and social connection

In short, animal encounters bring comfort and calm to the workplace, reminding everyone of the joy and simplicity that nature offers.

Add a Touch of Holiday Magic

People can transform their event into a complete Christmas experience by adding some festive touches.

Decorate the venue with holiday lights and winter-themed props.
Serve hot drinks, such as cocoa or mulled punch, alongside the session.
Provide team challenges, such as naming the animals or guessing fun wildlife facts.
Invite families to join us for a "Christmas Family Day" that includes kids and partners.

These small details help spread holiday spirit, ensuring everyone leaves with smiles, laughter, and lasting memories.

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. The animal expert Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to.
The visit included a snake, rabbit, gerbil, snail and more - all of which were super theraputic! It was amazing to see how quickly the team relaxed and connected with the animals. 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.

This experience is absolutely perfect for introducing young children to science! It’s amazing for teaching topics like vertebrate classifications or different types of species, even for children as young as 3! Harriet and her animals are wonderful! They are so calm, friendly, and engaging. You can really see how much she cares about both the animals and the children’s learning. Thank you for such a fantastic and educational experience! Highly recommended! 🦎 🐇 🐹

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.

Amazing experience with harriet, we had a birthday party for a 22year 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 boys head😆Thank you so much wild science and a big thank you to Harriet for being a great host☺️

What an incredible experience! Booked for my sister’s 31st birthday, we couldn’t have had a better time! Jess immediately made everyone feel at ease and relaxed, was incredibly attentive to my sister’s energy levels (she has severe M.E.), asking if she wanted to take breaks or lay quietly with a Guinea pig.
Jess shared her wealth of knowledge with us in a very humour filled way, answering any questions we had. The animals she brought with her were amazing and all seemed incredibly happy and healthy. Such a range of different animals, a lesser tenrec, a tree frog, two Guinea pigs, a tortoise, a scorpion, a giant snail and a python!
Thank you Jess for such a special birthday treat for my sister, and incredible memories for our whole family to cherish!

George Brown was booked for our granddaughter's birthday party. He and his wonderful animal friends enthralled everyone there from 2 years old to 70 somethings. George has a wonderful gift for communicating his knowledge and love of the animals he generously shared with us. Book him! You won't be disappointed.

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!!

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.

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!
