Our workshops are rich in sensory experiences, allowing participants to engage through touch and exploration. From interactive animal encounters to hands-on scientific experiments, each session invites curiosity and wonder. Additionally, we are more than happy to customise our topics to meet your specific interests and needs, ensuring a personalised adventure for everyone involved. Join us, and let’s make some incredible memories together!

Animals:

Our mobile zoo offers excellent advantages for people with special educational needs. Interacting with animals can foster empathy, enhance understanding, and instil a sense of responsibility in them. Additionally, it can help them regulate their emotions and increase their involvement in group activities.

Research has shown that individuals with SEN have shown enhancements in communication, creativity, empathy, motivation, responsibility, and overall well-being when they engage with animals. The findings indicated that incorporating animals into educational environments
greatly benefits learners.

At Wild Science, Animal Therapy has gained immense popularity within the SEN community. We showcase various animals, including reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates. Our selection goes beyond just appearances; the texture of these animals plays a crucial role in our therapy sessions. For children with special educational needs, experiencing various skins, scales, and fur provides a significant sensory experience.

Science:

Engaging in science activities provides people with valuable multi-sensory, hands-on experiences. When participating in these scientific tasks, people can actively "do" and see the outcomes of their handy work.

Wild Science has designed a unique range of topics made for individuals with special educational needs, focusing on texture and creativity to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone. Among our most sought-after science activities are the sensory bubble workshop and the sensory slime-making workshop. Creating slime provides a rich, multisensory experience that resonates with both neurodiverse children and adults. It supports sensory development and emotional regulation and fosters creative expression. Additionally, slime making is a fun and flexible activity that people of all ages can enjoy.

This doesn’t mean you can’t have other topics we offer. Every topic is available for anyone and everyone. We can tailor the lessons to meet the needs of all participants and accommodate your specific requirements.

Warm thanks from our amazing clients.

Edinburgh

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!

Sandylands

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!!

Ajay Syal

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.

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!

Shannagh Aitken

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 🐔

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.

Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre

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.

Des Best

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.

Toni

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

Dani Jaff Klein

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!

Leah Lorentson

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!

Jason Ewart

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!!!

Jasmine Pierce

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!

Lucia Williams

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!
