    We visited the Jungle Hut for my son (Freddie's) birthday. Upon arrival, Darren was very warm and welcoming, and instantly had a great rapport with my son. The whole session was brilliant, the animals that were handled or shown were all great and backed up with Darren's awesome knowledge. Highly recommend this experience and likely we will visit again.

    My son had his 6th birthday party with Darren today and it was absolutely fantastic! We had the 2 hour package and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Darren and his son were so great with the children and really engaging and so knowledgeable, it was such lovely experience. The perfect birthday party from start to finish. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks Darren.

    Went here with a 1 year old, 5 year old 11 year old and 13 year old as well as 2 adults and we all enjoyed it so much! Very informative as well as being fun and really interactive. We all enjoyed learning about all the animals as well as getting to hold them! The price is so low and the kids even get a certificate at the end! Will definitely be returning!

    Absolutely not surprised to be the 30th 5 star review on this site. And as I write this there has been nothing but 5 star reviews. Phenomenal place, the passion and love for all the animals shines. We had an amazing time and can't wait to visit again one day. Highly recommended.

    We’ve had a fantastic time at The Jungle Hut today. My 6 year old son is animal crazy and jumps at the chance to get hands on with any animal. The Jungle Hut didn’t disappoint. We got to hold so many animals from creepy crawlies and tortoises to lizards and of course snakes. Darren is brilliant - so knowledgeable and provides the kids with just the right level of educational information to keep their interest whilst giving everyone plenty of time handling and feeding the animals. The experience being private is an amazing added bonus. At some petting farms etc we’ve felt rushed to let other families handle animals, but here being just the 4 of us it felt like our own mini jungle.

    Darren was absolutely fantastic with the kids, very patient, and knowledgeable. The kids gained a lot from the experience and really enjoyed handling the various insects and reptiles.

    Loved our experience with Darren! He was great with my son and his animals were great. Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 Gareth S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing host, really knows his stuff and cates about the animals both in the jungle hut and those in the wild. Will definitely return in the future. You only need an hour here but it is a full hour. Tea and coffee available for parents if attending parties.

    We have been visiting here for the past few years and we never ever get bored. We seem to learn something new each visit. Darren is an amazing guy who you can tell cares very deeply for his animals. We went to the day of the dead Halloween event last night and it was incredible. So much effort had gone into everything...decoration, music and food. This place is a hidden gem and would recommend to anyone to visit. I thought I had left a review in the past on here but must've been on TripAdvisor. Thank you Darren and family for looking after your animals and for being such lovely brilliant people. We will be back soon

    Amazing place. Darren had so much time for our little one who absolutely loved the experience. He was able to hold, touch & feed so many animals. We would highly recommend this for a family outing - something everyone of all ages can enjoy. We will definitely be back in the future! Thank you - Reuben's mum 😊

    Darren hosted my son's 6th birthday party this weekend and I have not stopped having compliments ever since from both the kids and their parents. He literally arranges everything. All I had to supply was the kids and the cake. This was our second time at the jungle hut as my son asked to go again for his party and I know it won't be the last. Controlling a room of 10 5-6yr old boys is no joke. But Darren was amazing. And his son did an excellent job of helping too. If you want a party with a difference or just want a 1 on 1 visit then this place is the place to go πŸ˜ƒ

    What a gem of a place! My two boys, 6 and 4, had an amazing hour in the Jungle Hut and loved being able to handle and feed a variety of different insects and reptiles. Darren was very welcoming and informative (I also learned a lot!) and my eldest really enjoyed being able to ask him as many questions as he could think of! Super experience and incredible value for money too! He now wants his birthday party here….

    Can't recommend The Jungle Hut highly enough! We had our son's birthday party here this afternoon and it was perfect. Darren was fantastic with the children, really knowledgeable and made it engaging throughout. If you have a child who loves animals, this place is perfect.

  • 5/5 Rachel F. 7 months ago on Google
    We booked the 2 hour party package for my sons 7th birthday party. What an afternoon! Darren and his son were excellent with the kids and so knowledgable about all the animals. It was very relaxed with opportunities to touch or handle the animals if you wished to. If your little one loves creepy crawlies and reptiles then this is one unforgettable experience! The tarantula and snakes were our favourites and an absolute blast was had by all. We’ll definitely be telling everyone about it about it! Thank you.

  • 5/5 Leanne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved our visit, very interesting and informative and amazing to hold all the different animals. Darren was very friendly, kind and encouraging to our daughter to hold the Cockroach and Tarantula and other species. We will definitely be going again for a visit had a great time!

    Absolutely amazing experience! He is really friendly, knowledgeable and supportive when meeting the creatures and allowed me to face my fears. Would highly recommend and it's especially fun with family and friends.

  • 5/5 Simon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Darren and his family put on a wonderful party for our son today. The show had some amazing animals that are looked after with care and the way Darren told the kids about their habitat and lives in the wild was interesting and easy for the kids to pay attention. The buffet provided was fresh, clean, and tasty and catered for all the kids diets with a mixture of sandwiches, fruit and cakes. To top off a wonderful day the birthday boy received a goody bag and a quality soft toy and all the guests received equally as good gifts. Would highly recommend

    We have just had a fabulous time at the Jungle Hut. My girls, 4 & 6 were absolutely thrilled to hold so many different animals and learnt lots too. They have been smiling and talking about it ever since! Thank you!

    Darren was a fantastic host when I visited The Jungle Hut. He was extremely welcoming and is highly knowledgable on the animals (my personal favourite was SpongeBob the Snake)! I highly recommend his exotic animal interactive service. I would give it 6 stars if possible!

    Amazing activity and great value for money. Darren is so knowledgeable and fun, the kids really loved it. Will be going back again. There's a variety of great animals and the opportunity to get so close is not to be missed.

  • 5/5 Rosalyn L. 4 years ago on Google
    We went as a family for a birthday treat for my daughter and it was so good. Would definitely go again. Darren, the ranger was very informative, patient as my youngest daughter has lots of questions and you can tell he loves doing what he's does. My daughters favourite animal was the corn snake. She was very brave and held it around her neck!! It's Very reasonable priced, which is always a bonus!!

  • 5/5 S W. 3 years ago on Google
