Make Your Child’s Celebration Unforgettable
Looking for a unique way to celebrate your child’s big day? A Wild Science Mobile Petting Zoo turns any venue into an exciting and educational animal adventure. Children can safely meet, hold, and learn about friendly reptiles, small mammals, and invertebrates.
With over 1,000 successful events across the UK, our experienced handlers follow RSPCA welfare guidelines to ensure every party is safe, fun, and memorable.
Why Choose a Mobile Farm for a Birthday Party?
Traditional parties often involve indoor games. But more families are now choosing animal encounters for their unique and enriching experience.
With a mobile petting zoo, children can meet rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, and even tarantulas—all brought straight to your doorstep.
A MARS study has demonstrated that engaging with animals can reduce stress hormone levels in children by as much as 21%. This finding highlights that these gatherings are not only delightful but also profoundly beneficial for their well-being.
Bringing Animals to Your Party
Wild Science delivers safe and interactive animal experiences across London, Essex, and nearby counties.
- Trained handlers introduce each animal.
- Children learn how to feed and care for themselves.
- Parents get peace of mind knowing every animal is well looked after.
Encountering Amazing Animals: What to Expect
Children might cuddle rabbits, stroke guinea pigs, or hold a hamster. For adventurous guests, we bring snakes, lizards, and insects. For quieter ones, they can watch tortoises or snails.
This variety ensures something for everyone, no matter their comfort level.
