Animal Parties in Elland

"We booked for my sons 10th birthday however it didn't matter the age from 3yr olds to the parents as everyone got a turn with the animals. Steve was hilarious and as a mum of 4 children and a lot of parties under my belt, I have to say this was one to beat. With some educational benefits but not to bore the almost 20 kids I had there, there was never waiting too long for a hold or feel of the animals. My son had an extra fuss made of him but as the same time no child had to wait for their questions awnsered. Very patient with the children and a genuine nice man. Even went over on his time to make sure everyone had a turn. I have no doubt we will book again in the future! Thank you"

"Fantastic party, daughter and friends loved every second. They were made to feel relaxed around all animals even if nervous and allowed to interact as much or as little as wanted. Just the right amount knowledge sharing and education to keep children interested and entertained. Excellent variety of animals and catered for all requests. Very happy. Thank you :-)"

"Geoff brought a very fun array of animals and all the children got to hold them and he was very patient with them. There were snakes, bearded dragons, tarantulas, guinea pigs, skinny pigs and all sorts. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an animal encounters party."

"Can I just say a massive thanks to Dan for making the day so incredible amazing and fun for the kids at the party, everybody loved it even the kids, the birthday girls including adults. Lovely variety exotic animals!! Thank you once again !"

"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."

"Huge thanks to Danielle and co (and all the marvellous animals). They managed to engage a group of very excitable 7 year olds with warmth and playfulness. The reptiles and rodents meant there was a good balance of animals for all of the kids there to handle if they wanted. Their own enthusiasm and love of animals really rubbed off on the kids. And they very generously acknowledged my older daughter as well who shares a birthday with her brother. The package was great - my son and daughter both delighted with their repti-zoo t-shirts. And all the kids got a sticker and certificate. Thanks so much for running such a great party- all the kids had a great time!"
