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.

Hi Stacey, I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. The piglet is young but generally enjoys the experience but every outing is different and sometimes they take a little longer to accept the new surroundings.

Thanks Samantha, glad everyone loved it, the boys had fun too!

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.

I'm glad people enjoyed seeing the animals. We believe the enclosures are adequate in size for the animals to stay in whilst on display for a relatively short time compared with their living space at home. We bring everything with us that they need during their stay.
