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 in the UK, 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.
