    Hi Kevin, Just on to say a massive thank you for today! Ruaridh absolutely loved your visit, he hasn’t stopped talking about it since! He even said ‘I think today was the best day of my life!’ 😂 The adults thought it was brilliant too! You did a fantastic job keeping 25 very lively 5/6 year olds engaged for an hour! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and will definitely recommend you to others!

    We had a party for my daughters 9th birthday. Amanda was lovely and arrived in good time to make sure everything ran smoothly. She gave the children time to feel and hold the animals they wanted. The birthday girl got to hold the animals first, making her feel really special. There was a good variety of animals brought to the party. It was nice to sit back and let Amanda entertain the children making the party really enjoyable from a parents point of view too.

    I took my son to his friend's 5th birthday party and was horrified to see the misery of these poor creatures - overgrown nails, mats in hair, dirty and smelly. Shameful. Astounded that the SSPCA haven't shut them down.

    Hired animal man for my son birthday bash could not have been more impressed by value for money that I received. My son is autistic so trying to find something that he will enjoy is quite difficult at times but this was great all the people involved were first class. Will be recommending animal mans mini zoo to all my family and friends and my children's schools. thanks again guys Michael

    We had David attend and present animals at my daughter's 4th birthday party and OMG he was absolutely amazing from getting the children to listen and encourage them to touch or hold the animals was fantastic! He took time with all the children and made sure no child was rushed or pressured into touching animals if didn't wish to. Honestly blown away absolutely fantastic and would recommend booking animal man to everyone planning a kids party. Thanks again Leeann and A very happy Emily.

    I booked the animal man for my daughter's birthday party which turned out to be a huge success. David was brilliant with all the kids and my daughter loved being able to hold all of the animals he brought. Would absolutely recommend!

    Dave arrived on time and was a fantastic entertainer for both adults and kids. He introduced himself to us all, told us what to expect and reassured everyone they wouldn't be forced to anything they didn't want to do. Dave brought the animals in the house all covered up and had us all in suspense 😀 he uncovered each animal individually, introduced the animal and gave us interesting facts then we all had a chance to interact with the animal. Dave gave the birthday boy extra special attention and privileges which was a lovely touch to the event and made my little man feel extra special on his big day 😀 Dave was very respectful towards his surroundings as the party was at home, he was always cleaning up and apologised for any mess even though the kids made more mess 🤣 I did explain I anticipated mess considering the event and it was nothing that couldn't be easily cleaned later however he was very respectful to our home. In short, Dave was a pleasure to meet, fantastic entertainer and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the service to family and friends. Thank you for the experience 🐍 🐛 🐇 🐔

    Highly Recommend. Saved me massively by not needing to do party games at my little boys party. The kids loved it from start to finish! Little boy is still going on about the experience. David was very friendly and full of knowledge being patient with the kids and their questions.

    Hi I just wanted to send a note of thanks for coming to my son's Birthday. The handler,David he was fantastic. There was quite a mixture of age groups at the party and from the youngest at 2 years old to big kids in their 50's he had them all entertained. He was so pleasant and patient with all the children and adults. Myself and other parents got some lovely pictures of our children holding and touching animals that we never thought they would go near. Everyone commented on what an amazing party it was and I can not thank you enough. For days after all I heard was children asking their parents for animals they had seen and held at the party. Could you please send my thanks on to David as he took so much time with everyone which I thought was extremely nice of him. I would recommend Animal Man to anyone looking for something a little bit different. Thank you again Michelle

    What a birthday! Andrew was outstanding tonight. We had originally hoped to host our daughters 8th birthday party on the patio but due to good old Scottish weather we had 20+ small people crammed into the kitchen! The kids were fab because Andrew kept them engaged and they absolutely loved meeting the animals - even the adults did too! Thank you Andrew for being accommodating and flexible for us and providing one of the best birthday parties any of us have ever been to - amazing!

After the party all the parents said their kids came home full of stories about the party and facts they had Learned. Dave did a great job, very informative and lots of fun for the kids..Thank so much!

    Dave came and visited our Cub Scout pack. The animals were great and Dave was fantastic. He was so considerate of the different needs of the children, and made it a very entertaining evening. Everyone (including adults) loved it. The process of booking through Kevin was pain-free. Perfect.

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Louise was amazing at my daughter’s birthday party. She had the best time and loved meeting all the animals. Louise was so engaging and informative and handled the whole party really well- especially considering the small space and lots of kids! My daughter was absolutely enthralled the whole time and wants to work with animals when she grows up. Thanks so much!

  • 5/5 Wendy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge thanks to Louise for a fantastic party! She was absolutely exceptional with all of the children, especially my daughter who had ‘the best party ever’! Knowledgeable, funny and totally at ease with a big group of excited children. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Sharon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Just wanted to write to tell you how fantastic Amanda was today, she’s amazing! She really kept all the children hooked for the full hour and was great at making sure the birthday girl felt so special. She clearly really loves her animals and it made it a really special party.

  • 5/5 Katie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked the Animal man's mini zoo for my son's 5th birthday, it was fantastic, kids had a great time, Kevin was great fun, great with the kids and the animals! Really happy with how it went. Been getting lots of positive comments from children and parents that came to the party too. Highly recommend! 👍

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amanda was absolutely brilliant the kids loved every minute thank you so much. It was a very rowdy bunch of 20 boys I don’t know how she managed to entertain them but she did. She also gave interesting facts which the boys enjoyed. Henry my son loved his party and his wee brother is asking to book you again for his birthday next October. Thanks again, Lisa

  • 5/5 jessica n. 9 months ago on Google
    Yesterday we had David the animal handler, he was amazing, was really great interacting with all the kids and keeping them going (mostly 3&4 year olds)! I'm surprised they all sat for the full length and engaging the whole time, tried to get adults involved but not everyone did. We will definitely be booking again at another date! Thank you again!

    We booked animal man zoo for my sons 5th birthday party. Our handler was called tommy. He was absolutley brillant with the kids, we booked the extreme party, tommy kept them entertained with the animals for the first hour or so then played games with them! The kids and even the adults had a great time. Thanks for a fab morning

  • 5/5 Ellen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Our son had a brilliant time meeting lots of different animals, such a great idea! He was absolutely fascinated by all of them - he picked up the hissing cockroach, stroked the mice, the chicken, the corn snake, and the gecko, plus had the bunny and guinea pig in his lap. The lady who introduced the animals really understood young children and encouraged them whilst helping them understand how to pet animals carefully. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Billy R. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic Visit! David was so informative and the residents were amazed with all the facts and knowledge he had of each animal and creature. David was so good with our residents he really made each one feel included and answered any questions they had. Thanks again for a brilliant visit we will be in contact again in the new year for another visit in spring time.

  • 5/5 Emma J. 6 months ago on Google
    I just wanted to say thanks very much for my daughter’s birthday party entertainment yesterday. David was absolutely fantastic and so engaging! The children all loved the experience and the birthday girl was thrilled to get to hold Fluffy the snake. I received lots of compliments from other parents about David’s brilliant manner with the children and wanted to pass them on to you.

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Louise. She was lovely and did a fab job for our daughter’s 10 th party. Our daughter said: ‘that was my best party ever!’ A happy girl and her friends really enjoyed it. Louise pitched it at just the right level. Really impressed.

    We used Animal Man for a corporate family event - a huge success, highly recommend.

  • 5/5 CLAIRE C. 10 years ago on Google
    My daughter loved having the animal at her 6 th birthday party. There were children from under 1 to age 12 and all of them had great fun handling and finding out all about the different animal. Even all the adults loved having a go. Heard a few kids on the way out saying they wanted a party with animal I would definitely recommend this type of party to everyone.

  • 5/5 Jane 4 years ago on Google
    I booked animal man’s mini zoo for my daughter’s 6th birthday, it was a great experience, easy to book & they answered all my questions! On the day the handler was amazing(can’t remember his name, sorry). My daughter and her friends loved every minute, even the ones who were a little afraid, but the handler put them at ease. Thank you Animal Man!! 🐢🐍🦎

  • 5/5 Kari-Ann A. 4 years ago on Google
    I booked a Mini Zoo party for my daughter's 8th Birthday. The handler Andrew did a fantastic job entertaining 14 excited 8 year old's who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The entire process was very straight forward and extremely professional. I would highly recommend Animal Man's Mini Zoo to anyone looking for an engaging, animal focused experience for their children.

  • 5/5 Geraldine M. 4 years ago on Google
    We have booked twice for events and both times we were really happy with the turn out. Both animal handlers were very friendly and interactive with great knowledge on all the animals. We will book again for future events!

  • 5/5 Jenny t. 4 years ago on Google
    Kids had a great time at the party with animal man (well we actually had a woman!). Our host Amanda was fantastic with the kids and made sure everyone got attention and a chance to touch and hold the animals despite there being more than 20 children there. Age range was between 4 and 10 and everyone loved it. They especially enjoyed brushing the bunny and chicken with brushes. Completely hassle free experience from start to finish and would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Catherine H. 5 years ago on Google
    Kevin came to our play group today and it was a huge hit! He had a fantastic manner with the children and was engaging for the adults too. The kids were really interested in the range of animals he brought and the fact it was so hands on was excellent. I'd highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Mark A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great experience and show. Kids loved it.

  • 3/5 Greig david S. 6 years ago on Google
    Have been to 2 parties with these animals and I can give them a 3/5. It's not really for small children (they would get scared)' I was scared. It takes a lot of time to set up so your better having maybe something else to do till set up. Plus only some animals are allowed to be touched. Bit expensive .

  • 5/5 Mumography V. 7 years ago on Google
    Edward despite only being wee thpuraghlly enjoyed it, the animals were great (even the spider !) And I'm sorry I insulted your chin Jack the bunny 😂 I didn't mean no offence.

  • 5/5 maureen n. 10 years ago on Google
    Fantastic experience for children! They had a great time and loved seeing all the animals - I would definitely recommend the Animal Man for a children's party - they had a ball! - and so much so, will book again for next year!

  • 5/5 Tracy G. 10 years ago on Google
    Hi there, wanted to get in touch to just say my son had the best 4th bday party thanks to Iain! He was so good with the kids and they listened really well (most of the time haha). I was amazed that the wee ones were holding cockroaches and clapping Iguanas, but they loved it!! Honestly was great. Funny when we were given an option....fluffy or speedy....defo a trick question haha!! Adults got a good laugh too. Sons fave animal was the chicken. Big smiles all round! Thanks again Iain!!

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 10 years ago on Google
    I booked animal man for my sons 5th birthday. There were roughly 45 kids at this party, but they all loved it and gave (nearly) 100% of their attention! Would definitely recommend and will use this service again for my younger son.

  • 5/5 Holly C. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone was so impressed with the animal handling experience delivered by Amanda at my sons birthday party yesterday. She was absolutely fantastic with the kids (a large number of 4 & 5 year olds), so patient and interested in what they had to say and made the party a complete success. I honestly couldn't speak more highly of her and the whole experience! All of the children got a good chance to hold or pet the animals with special attention paid to the birthday boy which was lovely. She made my sons day so special and we are so grateful to her for the effort she put in. We would definitely recommend or book again ourselves.

  • 5/5 Daisy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Louise the Animal Woman was absolutely brilliant. She brought lots of amazing animals to my daughter's birthday party and managed to make sure all the children were joined in but also that they knew they didn't have to handle any animal they were nervous of. She managed to entertain and educate in equal measures while ensuring all children were gentle with the animals. My older daughter now wants to be an Animal Woman which says it all!

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely brilliant entertainment for an 8th birthday party. Andrew made sure all the children had a chance to be involved, was very patient and kept the groups attention. Educational and fun, and I've had great feedback from the guests and their parents too.

    Louise was so incredible yesterday at our son’s 6th birthday party. She was amazing! So engaging with the kids, got them all involved and kept to time so well. I would highly recommend this as a party option!

    I just wanted to say how amazing Louise and Paula were at the weekend. Louise was so knowledgeable and amazing with the kids (and animals of course!) She kept them all engaged the whole time, was so patient as they were all hyper and excited and made sure everyone got their turn. The kids absolutely loved the party and your team and the animals got so many compliments. Won’t hesitate to recommend you to others looking for a fun, interesting and interactive birthday party. Thanks again!

    I just want to send a wee message to let you know how happy we were with the experience. Having the pet corner I wasn’t sure how this would work but it was brilliant. David kept the kids engaged (and adults) and they all listened to his instructions on keeping the animals safe and calm. He paid special attention to my daughter which made her feel extra special. I will recommend to anyone with an upcoming party.

  • 5/5 Ellis M. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    We have Louise visit for my son’s 5th party. From start to end she was great with the kids and the animals were fantastic. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of having animals to their party.

  • 5/5 Claire F. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The member of staff you sent (Dais I am sure) was just superb, could not rate him highly enough, he was so good with all the children who are special needs. He kept their attention the whole time, gave them lots of interesting facts and had them all laughing. He made them feel safe and comfortable with handling the animals and that was so nice to see. All the fellow parents commented on how natural and good he was with them. Full credit to him, he must be such an asset to your company. My daughter loved it as did all of her friends and parents. One of the children said it was the best party she's ever been to, praise indeed. An excellent all-round experience from start to finish, the children were enthralled with the selection of animals.
