Wild Encounters Reviews 

Lewis and Jordan provided a truly unforgettable experience at our son's 4th birthday party! They very kindly stepped in at the last minute after we were let down by another company, and really saved the day!
They were professional and knowledgeable about the animals, and brought a really wide range of invertebrates, reptiles and mammals. They engaged all the children from start to finish, and pitched it perfectly in how they taught the children about the animals despite there being a wide age range (2 to 7 years). It was a hot day yet they managed to keep the children's attention for the full hour. All the children really enjoyed the experience (as did their parents!) and it was great that they got ample opportunity to handle the animals if they wanted to (again, this was perfectly done, with just the right level of encouragement). They also made the experience really special for our son by allowing him to do a couple of extra things and giving him a birthday bag - a really lovely extra touch!

Overall a fantastic experience, we would definitely recommend!

Five stars doesn't do this organisation justice. I wish there were more stars!

We booked Wild Encounters for my son's fourth birthday party. We thought that he and his friends would be a bit young for the experience, but they absolutely LOVED it.

The number and variety of animals was brilliant - everything from giant crickets and huge hairy spiders to several snakes and the biggest rabbit I have ever seen - and the kids got to handle them all.

But, the best thing about the whole experience was Lewis and his delivery style. He kept the kids SO engaged for over an hour. They couldn't get enough of him and each new animal he brought out.

Overall, an incredibly professional organisation, an unforgettable experience for the kids and great value for money.

Highly, highly recommend.

What an amazing experience for my son’s 7th birthday. Lewis and Jordan managed to captivate a rowdy group of boys for a full hour with wonderful animals and lots of facts. They all absolutely loved it and have talked about it non stop. The guys were very professional, arrived on time, great set up and would 100% recommend for any nature loving children.

Wild Encounters were awesome. The whole booking process was smooth. They were really organised on the day and brought the best animals. The guys running it were really knowledgeable and presented really well and kept the kids very engaged. All the animals were awesome. Thanks so much would highly recommend!

We booked Wild Encounters for my son’s 7th birthday party and it was amazing. Lewis and Jordon were excellent - great with the kids and very knowledgeable. A wide range of reptiles, insects and animals. And they made it extra special for the birthday boy. The kids all said it was the best party ever! 100% recommend.

The Valentines theme with Wild Encounters today was brilliant, all of the team were so approachable with questions from kids and parents. It was very educational but also a really fun experience, would definitely recommend Lewis, Jordan and their team, thank you!

Hi we went to see wild encounters today at East Sheen and it was a really good experience for the family, fun and educational for all ages

Highly recommended. My son and his friends had the best time at the birthday party. Highly professional team and passionate with animals. It was a fun & educating activity. Thank you!

We hired Wild Encounters for our 4-year-old’s birthday (40 kids + adults) and they were honestly amazing. For a full hour they had the complete attention of the whole room which is basically impossible 😅

Lewis and Jordan were fantastic. You can tell they genuinely love their animals and what they do, and they were so warm and patient with the kids. They brought a really exciting mix (tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, rabbits and more) and explained everything in a way that was engaging for everyone.

They arrived perfectly on time, set up really professionally (it looked great) and everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. They were also super responsive and nice from the first message.

Multiple parents messaged us afterwards saying how much their kids enjoyed it. Would 100% recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Wild Encounters and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish the team were warm, professional and brilliant with the children. Amber absolutely loved it, and it was wonderful to see how confidently and sensitively the animals were introduced.

The children were encouraged to be curious and brave at their own pace, and the care, enthusiasm and knowledge from the team really shone through. It felt calm, inclusive and genuinely joyful — no small feat with a room full of excited kids!

A huge thank you to Lewis and Jordan for making it such a memorable and special party. We’ll be talking about it for a long time to come.

Lewis and Jordan are incredible and have a true passion for animals, insects, and wildlife. From start to finish, booking with the team was seamless, and the encounter was worth every penny.

The range of animals, insects and reptiles was exceptional and kept the children fully engaged from beginning to end — the scorpion was a definite highlight! The session was wonderfully hands-on, with the children able to handle the insects, which made the experience even more exciting and memorable.

We were truly thankful for their time and dedication. All 90 children left our holiday setting with the biggest smiles and a real enthusiasm for the animals and insects they encountered.

Thank you, Lewis, Jordan, and the whole team at Wild Encounters. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wildlife experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Held the attention of 6 & 7 Year olds!

Lewis and Jordan brought a plethora of creatures and creepy crawlies for my daughter's 7th birthday party at home. The children (and adults) absolutely loved their experience. There were lots of OOOs and AHHs, while they shared their knowledge about the creatures.

The children were able to touch nearly every creature they wanted to in a controlled, safe and sometimes creative way. It was incredibly impressive how they captured the attention of so many young children and held their attention throughout.

In addition, they left our home tidy and were on hand to rearrange the room to maximise the space.

Highly recommend!
