Click here to book your London petting zoo today. We're available 7 days a week.

Why Choose Wild Science for an Unforgettable Experience?

With our mobile petting zoo in London, we create an unforgettable experience through interactive fun with friendly animals. Every animal loves fuss and cuddles, making them perfect for guests of all ages. We are happy to accommodate special requests, so we can tailor each visit to suit the group.

As Des Best confirms: "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."

Our mobile farm operates seamlessly for corporate events, kids' parties and community events across London and its surrounding counties. Our mobile zoos frequently offer visits for therapeutic purposes. Every visit can also be tailored to suit the specific needs of each event or group.

Birthday Parties, School Visits, Animal Workshops and Care Homes

Wild Science's animal encounters suit a wide range of occasions, including:

  • Birthday parties and children's parties
  • School visits and nursery workshops
  • Animal workshops for holiday clubs and community events
  • Care homes, hospitals and residential home visits
  • Corporate events

Each animal handling session is led by a trained expert. As a result, children and adults alike get a safe, hands-on introduction to the animals.

What Mobile Farm Do We Bring to Your Event?

We offer a diverse range of wild and farm animals that children and adults love to meet. The line-up runs from familiar favourites through to more exotic animals such as tarantulas and snakes:

Mammals:

  • Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, gerbils, ferrets, hedgehogs, chinchillas, mice

Reptiles:

  • Snakes, bearded dragons, tortoises, leopard geckos, crested geckos, plated lizards, blue-tongued skinks

Amphibians:

Please note that the list of animals we bring to events may vary, and we cannot guarantee the presence of any particular species.

All our animals are cared for by a dedicated and caring team, in line with our animal care standards. As a result, every creature gets plenty of attention from visitors. Our professional animal experts share fascinating information about each animal's habitat and behaviour. In turn, guests learn respect for wildlife as they interact. All animals are handled by trained staff to keep both animals and visitors safe.

If you have any symptoms of Covid or another illness, please let us know before your visit. We always ask participants to wash and sanitise their hands before touching animals. For outdoor events, it helps if hand-washing facilities are arranged by the client.

How We Create Educational Experiences for Every Group

Wild Science brings the full interactive farm experience to you. Our mobile zoo, animal workshops and animal parties work well for:

  • Family fun days
  • School visits
  • Care home visits
  • Large events
  • Summer fetes

We provide safe, unique experiences and interactive environments where children and students learn to love animals. Our professional animal experts guide every session and share amazing information about animals and their habitats. This tactile journey builds curiosity, confidence and respect for nature in every participant. We take real pride in the difference it makes, and we hope every guest leaves with a new favourite animal.

Animal Visits for Care Homes and Well-being

Beyond parties and school visits, Wild Science's animal encounters are popular for wellbeing and therapeutic purposes. We bring calm, friendly creatures into care homes, hospitals and residential home settings. There, gentle animal interaction can lift mood and spark conversation. Sessions are adapted to suit each group, whether that's a lively school assembly or a quieter care home visit.

Our approach follows the animal welfare guidance set out by the RSPCA's own education programme. As a result, every interaction stays safe and calm for the animals as well as the guests.

Private Bookings and Public Events

We take on everything from small private bookings to larger public events. Either way, we tailor the animal selection to suit.

Where Can We Set Up Our Mobile Petting Zoo?

We set up our mobile petting zoo both indoors and outdoors, depending on your venue. Our flexible setup works in:

  • Homes and gardens
  • Schools and nurseries
  • Corporate offices
  • Community centres
  • Parks and outdoor spaces
  • Care homes and hospitals

Our mobile petting zoo serves London and its surrounding counties. We also travel further afield across England within our usual 250-mile round trip range. Get in touch if your venue sits outside London, and we'll let you know if it's within reach.

As Toni shares: "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."

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!

You won’t be disappointed!

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 booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. [...] Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. [...] 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.

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!
