This was absolutely brilliant. My 5 year old had no intention of actually holding any animal or insect prior to the event. That changed very quickly. This was down to the fantastic team who were kind, fun and approachable. They made sure everyone was included. Answered any questions and were all extremely knowledgeable. The love they show for all these animals made the experience even better. Every animal had a name, Kevin and Perry were the first out - i knew it was going to be awesome from that moment. They start small.. but my goodness they bigger and bigger! The team clearly love what they do and my son and I will never forget the experience. Thank you all x

Amazing entertainment for our daughter’s 15th birthday party. Celso was wonderful and it was enjoyed by the children and adults alike. It was a real highlight for everyone - informative, entertaining and heartfelt. We had so many compliments from our friends and family. We would highly recommend!

What a fantastic event. Our 7 year old granddaughter loved it and us oldies loved it as well. I never thought that I would let a hairy tarantula wander about on my hand but it happened here. Highly recommended and we will be going to the next show in the area.

We had a great time attending one of the One World Animals events. It was educational, funny and entertaining for all the children and their parents. There was such a variety of different insects and animals to see but more importantly children could pet them as well. The experience you won’t get at the zoo. Thank you for all the staff for a great time and lovely memories. We’ll be coming again.

Such a fab experience for my reptile mad son! He's been learning about reptiles at school so this event was perfect timing. I was really impressed with how interactive the session was, and very informative. He especially loved holding the tarantula!
