Nature Safari: Childrens Parties!

"Wow! What a fantastic party! It exceeded my expectations and the kids loved every second of it - so did the parents! The children were engaged from start to finish and it was lovely to see them enjoy themselves away from the typical soft-play party. The parents that stayed ended up getting stuck in and loved it just as much as the kids. After the party all the parents messaged me to say how much they and their children enjoyed it - with their kids talking non-stop about it! Multiple parents described it as a "refreshing change" to the usual party and one parent even said "it's going to be hard to top that"! The gift for the birthday boy was so lovely, and the party bags were perfect too. HIGHLY recommend to any parent of a liitle boy or girl!!!"

"Julia and her crew of critters made our 9yr old son's party such an enjoyable and exciting event. From start to finish Julia was brilliant, and the range on animals from Skunk to Rabbits was fascinating. Thank you so much for a fantastic afternoon!"

Amanda Waite (Parent)

"I was very impressed with the whole experience and how much the children were involved and allowed to handle the animals. I was also very impressed with the gift bags and birthday present. A really enjoyable party for my son."

Amy Vernon (Parent)

"The way that Julia presented the animals to the children captivated and held their attention; not easy with a group of over 20 4-6yr olds! The party was a big success, Olivia had a party to remember. Julia was a lot of fun and the animals were all stars, and the party ran smoothly from start to finish. Olivia and her sister were involved from start to finish and enjoyed every moment. Absolutely perfect!"

Nicola Brown (Parent)

"This Party was just fabulous! It was a joint party for my 6 and 4 year old daughters, so the children who attended the party were quite a wide age range from 2 to 7, but Julia engaged all of the children and they all found it enjoyable. The adults who came with their children all commented how great this was being able to get so close to the animals and learning fun facts about them all and several took away business cards for future reference. My daughter Sophie has already asked if she can have this party again next year so she can meet the rest of Julia's animals!!

Sullivan the skunk stole the show though, he melted everyone's heart and the children found it hilarious that he likes to eat cheese sandwiches and wotsits. Thank you so much for an enjoyable afternoon!!!"

Rachel Iredale (Parent)

"As a mother wanting the perfect party for their children, I was nervous to choose a company I had never heard of and for it to be something I could envisage going incredibly wrong in our home. I could not have been any more wrong!  Nature Safari provided my children with an amazing experience for their birthdays. All of the children and adults that attended the party could not stop saying what a wonderful time they had. Julia was professional, punctual and above all friendly! She interacted amazingly with children from 2 years old to 12. The animals were the star of the show and it was clear to see how well they are treated. The adults could not tell me enough how amazing Julia was and so I am telling you...the best party experience ever!"

Anita Sayers (Parent)

"The party was amazing for both children and adults; the children loved the animals! Thank you for a brilliant party!"

Ian Skirrow (Parent)

"A great time had by all. Some of the grown-ups enjoyed the den building as much as the children! The children all enjoyed and had fun all the way through the party. Thank you again!"

Karen Smeeton (Parent)

"What a fantastic and unique party my little boy had! I didn't want to do the usual play centre party as it can get a bit much for my son so wanted something where they were outdoors and had more freedom. All of the kids (and adults!) loved getting stuck in to the den building - Julia was so enthusiastic and kept them really engaged. They made swords and wands around the fire and then toasted their lunch, happy faces all round!! There were no tears or fights which for 25 five year olds is a miracle! Sandall Beat Woods is a great venue – the park next to the camp area made it easy to keep the kids entertained while we waited for guests. Brilliant
value for money too, I'd highly recommend Nature Safari for a party!"

Kirsty Ellis (Parent)

"I cannot recommend Julia and Nature Safari enough. All of the children (and parents) loved every minute, the range of animals and the interesting facts Julia was able to pass on to the children kept them all fully engaged; considering they were aged three to eight this was no mean feat!

Her interaction with the children was superb, even the initially shy children were holding the tarantula and cuddling the bearded dragon by the end of the day.

If your children love animals I suggest you get Nature Safari along to your next party, its much better than soft play!"  

Paul Coulson (Parent)

"Once again Julia pulled it out of the bag. My daughters face was a picture when she realised Julia had arrived with her animals to her "End of Term" party.  My daughter was involved right from the beginning helping carry the equipment into the garden and filling up the animals water bottles. Julia was amazing with the group of girls giving them lots of hands on experiences and facts about the animals. The animals were different from our last encounter which is always good to keep the children entertained. I would definitely recommend Julia and her lovely animals, she's one in a million and really cares and loves her animals. I will be using Julia every time for an animal encounter without question. Thanks again Julia, you are a star!"

Katherine Smedley (Parent)

"Thank you Julia (and the animals!) for a truely fabulous and memorable birthday party. Oscar and his friends really enjoyed it. You did a fab job keeping a group of 7yr old boys entertained! By far the best party we've ever been to. Thanks too for the lovely gift, it is perfect for him!"

Fiona Sheehan (Parent)

"Fabulous party. Great feedback from the children and adults who came. Thank you Julia for presenting the animals to the children in a fun an fascinating way ..you absolutely captured their attention throughout. No headache after this party, the children were completely absorbed and loved handling them all. It was the top subject for show and tell at school on Monday! Thanks again - we will be recommending you!"

Rachel Walker (Parent)

"The party was completely was completely run by the Nature Safari staff so there was very little for me to do! Very professional and well organised company with very friendly staff, I would definitely recommend. The present for the birthday girl was absolutely perfect too! Thank you!"

Sally-Anne Bunning (Parent)

"Nature Safari took all the stress away from the usual party planning. Invitations were provided as well as the party bags, organisation of people and children on the day was fantastic and all activities were enjoyable.  We received so many positive comments from parents and children that attended my son's party. Everyone had a super day, especially my son. Thank you so much - we have already been recommending you to other friends!"

Becci Wright-Philips (Parent)

"Nature Safari really are the best animal experience company I've come across. Julia is very engaging and knowledgeable. The way she interacted with the children was first class - and I've never seen that group sit so quiet when the tarantula came out! I would highly recommend Nature Safari for any group or event. Thank you Julia!"

Alistair Crompton (Parent)

"Thank you so much for making our daughters 5th birthday party not only amazing but have the WOW factor. Children and parents were amazed by the wide range of animals and the hands-on experiences they encountered. 32 children all sat quietly for a total of 2 hours ranging from 2-5 years old; I have never seen this before nor have the other parents! Really can not thank Julia enough for the time she took with the children, every single one of them were involved and she had them giggling and smiling with funny stories about the animals. I have endless "thank you's" - not only from the children, but the parents too - for a fantastic party. Thank you so much again for making it a very memorable time for everyone!" 

Katherine Smedley (Parent)

"Our wee man has just fallen asleep after an amazingly exciting party, that he's been counting down to for the last 2 months. He's recited every fact you told him and is clutching his sand gecko as he sleeps - and we've read his fact book front to back already! Thank you for making it so very special for him, from involving him in the set up to take down, and tailoring the animals you brought to his interests. It was so lovely to be able to invite all his friends to share the experience. I just hope the animals weren't too traumatised - 6 year olds can be very enthusiastic! Thanks so much again for all you did today, you're amazing and we value so much how much your animals are cared for."

Louise Fleetwood (Parent)

"Julia, Thank you so much for a fab party.  The kids absolutely loved it and there were so many positive comments from the parents....not only about the animals but also about how brilliant you were with the kids too. I have recommended you to our local preschool who are very interested!"

Tricia Donlon (Parent)

"You were amazing with the animals and the children Julia, keeping them all entertained and involved too at Ruby's party. She absolutely loved it - they all did! We didn't have to do anything, which shows how professional you are. The animals were perfect and beautiful too. I can't believe Ruby held Tex & Kazabian! Feedback from parents was great, they really enjoyed it and seeing their faces when their child held a tarantula or scorpion was fab! Absolutely fantastic and it shines through how much you love everyone of those animals, you were perfect and made it a very special memorable day. I will certainly be spreading the word!!!"

Sharon Clarke (Parent)

"Thank you Julia, Faith and her friends had a really nice time. Faith said it was the best party ever!"

Janet Edwards (Parent)

"Nature Safari run the most excellent children’s events.  We have used them for a Bush Craft party for my 9 year old son and for an Animal party for my 7 year old daughter, and on both occasions they absolutely hit the mark on expectation, fun and sheer enjoyment – the kids love it.  The staff are friendly and relate equally well with adults and children of all ages. Julia’s interaction with the kids was absolutely at the right level - perfect!  I would thoroughly recommend Nature Safari for any children’s party or event."

Robb Wallace (Parent)

"Just wanted to thank you for the most amazing party -everyone had a wonderful time (including grown-ups)! They're all exhausted! Hannah loved her present. We've never had to do so little to prepare for a party or had such a wonderful time. The best party our 8 year old has ever had.  Wonderful!"

Nick Smeeton (Parent)

"We had a fantastic time with all the animals, I had a range of ages from 2 years to 13 years at the party and they all loved it. The amount of animals was just right  and the length of time was sufficient for the young ones to stay engaged. You made Noahs 4th Birthday a memorable one that he will remember for ever !!! Thank you for being part of our day!"

Heather Marsden (Parent)

"Nature Safari was the perfect entertainment for our boy and his friends, and a refreshing option in comparison to play centres. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and were really pleased with how Julia introduced the children to the animals, as well as how courageously they all handled the more exotic ones. I've had nothing but positive feedback from the parents, it really was a great experience for the kids. Thank you again for a lovely party!"

Neya Willmott (Parent)

"Absolutely brilliant party! Well worth it, Julia was fabulous with all the kids and kept them all interested for 2 hours. The animals were really well behaved and loved being cuddled. The kids didn't want to go home!"

Paula Davis (Parent)

"Nature Safari ran a superb Bushcraft party for my 9 year old and his friends and every one of them thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a real outdoors experience aimed at just the right level for this age group with very friendly staff.  The kids loved every minute of it and it reflected the rough and ready nature of the outdoors (kids were not wrapped in cotton wool).We will now be looking to book an animal party with them for my daughter’s birthday!"

Robb Wallace (Parent)

"A great experience for a girls party - we were thrilled how they really wanted to get close to all the animals - even the snake! Julia was very professional and knowledgeable. As for Sullivan - what a star!!!"

Alison Clayton (Parent)

"Thank you so much for the birthday party, thoroughly enjoyed by children and adults alike!"

Kirsty Pearson (Parent)

"Jack and Elliott had a great party, with a good variation of animals. I couldn't fault it at all - I will definitely recommend!"

Claire Hostick (Parent)

"Both myself, wife and kids thoroughly enjoyed a interesting and informative day. The Nature Safari team are both friendly and guaranteed to entertain. Had a great day and highly recommend Nature Safari for birthday parties. I'm sure I can speak for all the children in saying it was a special day and one to be remembered!

James Beresford (Parent)
