Reviews
The children loved it
We had animal ark for my son’s 7th birthday. Fern was amazing, couldn’t have been a better service. The kids all loved it and and everything was cleaned up for you afterwards. I did feel like the pig seemed a bit stressed and I felt bad for it, but it was obviously well cared for.

Family Fun Day
The families who attended our Family Fun Day were very happy to see the animals. There were concerns that some of the animals were in very small areas (the geese were in a relatively small box with very little room for them to move around) and we had asked about bringing their own gazebo or shelter which had been confirmed. However, the animals all had food and water during the day.
We appreciate the difficulty in funding etc but were surprised to see a goat, pig, geese, snake, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs all turn up in a London taxi cab.
We are sure they were all safe and secure within the transport but had expected small pens for the animals to have had more space for movement during the day.

A great selection of tame friendly animals
We so were so excited when the animals came to our summer party for children at our hospice. We had the full range from pygmy pigs, goats, geese, rabbits and guinea pigs and all so tame and easy to pick up and stroke. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and really gave the kids confidence to pick up the animals. At one stage one of the girls got in the pen with the pig - sounds strange but she really enjoyed. I run a bereavement group for young children who have been bereaved of a parent and seeing some of them holding the animals was quite therapeutic for them. I cant recommend enough for variety of animals, the friendliness of the staff, the smile on everyone's face and the thrill of taking a goat and sheep for a walk !!

Daughter Farm party
My daughter wanted a farm party in the garden specifically with an alpaca!
Ark Animal Encounters provided just that.
They arrived earlier than expected so had loads of time to set up which was great.
The staff that bought the animals were very nice and great with the kids.
I would have like more communication in the build up. Maybe a 1 week till your party or something like that.
I had a no show bouncy castle a few years back to im a little paranoid (at no fault of the farm obviously)
Kids and parents loved it even though it rained the entire party.
Pack up was swift, even let some of the kids help take the animals out to the trailer.
And by the afternoon you would have never known there was a farm in the garden.

Amazing! The kids loved it!
9th Birthday party - 9 children
It was very unfortunate that the party hosts got stuck in traffic, and the children arrived before the animals! but, the hosts set up quickly and the party got under way. The host were very helpful, informative and very patient with the children.
The animals were super friendly and the children enjoyed holding them and petting them. I think this will be a party that the children remember for ever!
The only problem I have been left with is that the children now would like a pig & chickens! lol
Thank you

Incredible animal birthday party!
10/10. The Ark Animal Encounters team was amazing!! My 8 year old daughter and all her friends had the best time! So many amazing animals, both big and small. They are clearly cared for well, and on the day all the animals were secured with pens and room to roam around and eat hay and drink water. And all children had an opportunity to meet them, learn their names, hold or pat them if they wished. The birthday girl especially loved the snake so thanks for accommodating that special request. Amazing, gentle animals, and lovely expert team who were very helpful and reassuring to the children and adults. Thanks again.
