Looking for a fun, hands-on family event? Wild Science brings you exciting educational sessions featuring slime recipes, bubble experiments, and real animals — perfect for kids, adults, and elders.
Bring families together for a day of discovery, laughter, and learning with Wild Science’s Family Learning Days! We host Family Learning Days across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, and the surrounding counties.
Our interactive sessions combine slime-making, bubble experiments, and animal encounters that delight children, adults, and families of all ages. These hands-on activities are designed to spark curiosity, encourage teamwork, and create unforgettable memories.
Fun-Filled Family Science Experiences
At Wild Science, we believe that learning should be fun, interactive, and for everyone. Our family learning events are perfect for schools, care homes, clubs, and community fairs looking to host something unique. Whether it’s creating your own slime, discovering fascinating facts about reptiles and mammals, or learning about the science behind bubbles, every session is educational and packed with joy.
Our knowledgeable presenters make science accessible to all, blending creativity with learning through demonstrations, explanations, and guided hands-on experiments. It’s an opportunity for families to explore the wonders of science together, no matter their age or ability.
Hands-On Science Fun: Create Your Own Slime
One of the highlights of any family learning day is our slime-making session. Participants can mix glue and other safe ingredients to create their own clear slime, blue slime, or dough-like mixtures. Each family member learns how to measure, mix, and observe the fascinating chemical process that transforms liquid into a stretchy, squishy substance.
Explore Different Slime Recipes for Every Age
From colourful goo to clear slime, our workshops let kids and adults experiment with various slime recipes — understanding how glue and borax create different textures.
Our team ensures every activity follows health and safety standards, and all materials are safe for children. Once the fun is over, families can store their creations in an airtight container to take home! Furthermore, families can reuse a bottle or an airtight container to store their slime creations.
Did you know? Adding just a few drops of borax or glue changes how the slime mixture behaves—turning it from sticky to smooth in seconds!
The Science of Bubbles: A Burst of Fun!
Who doesn’t love bubbles? Our bubble experiments are a big hit with both kids and adults. Learn how to make giant bubbles, explore surface tension, and even create bouncing bubble balls that seem to float in mid-air!
Families can experiment with their own bubble recipes using soap and water, learning how air, liquid, and surface energy work together to form these magical shapes. These sessions encourage teamwork and laughter—perfect for bonding and learning together.
Our knowledgeable presenters are passionate about discussing the fascinating science behind slime, bubbles, and animals, making every session both fun and educational.
Tip: Mix your bubble solution a few hours before your event to make it stronger and last longer!
Animal Encounters: Meet Our Wonderful Creatures
Of course, no Wild Science event is complete without our amazing animal encounters! Families can meet a variety of animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, and insects—all under the supervision of our trained handlers.
Our experts introduce each animal, share fascinating facts about their habitats, diets, and behaviour, and explain how every species plays a vital role in nature. These sessions are calm, engaging, and adapted to suit the audience—making them ideal for nurseries, schools, care homes, and family events alike.
Do your animals bite? Our animals are incredibly well-socialised with people and other animals, and are accustomed to being handled frequently, daily.
We often have the wonderful opportunity to bring animals to nurseries, schools, children's parties, and care homes. These visits are great for educational sessions, exhibitions, or to provide comforting animal therapy. Families always say it feels like the best party they’ve ever attended — full of laughter, learning, and hands-on fun.
We ensure animal welfare is always our top priority, providing a safe and comfortable environment for both visitors and creatures.
Meet Certain Animals Up Close
Wild Science brings the classroom to life with real animal encounters. Families can meet and learn about certain animals — from reptiles to mammals — in safe, guided sessions that teach respect, habitats, and welfare.
Did you know? Reptiles regulate their body temperature using external heat sources. That’s why you’ll often find snakes and lizards basking in the sun!
