We offer engaging, interactive outreach services where we bring the animals to your school, care home, party or other event. Our hand picked unique animal collection creates an exciting, fun and adaptable team suitable for any occasion. Our animals have all been captive bred, are all friendly and enjoy interacting with humans. This means that we can offer a fantastic interactive encounter with cre

atures that you may only see behind a barrier. The experience of meeting a living animal can be tailored to educational school workshops, kids clubs or children's parties, sensory sessions, care home visits, weddings, media work and even corporate events. We will travel to the venue of your choice to bring you a memorable encounter with our exotic animals. Our awesome staff are all DBS checked, very friendly and have a great affinity to children. We are fully insured, risk assessed and licensed (CE/AE29/301125) and are happy to show paperwork on request. We are currently trying to develop a small zoo and conservation park in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. We are waiting for our planning application to be approved before we can open the doors. The zoo will offer a space for people to enjoy our animals where they are kept, learn about the conservation work we are involved in and will be a place where visitors can experience our animals up close and personal. We are really proud of what we can offer, but don't take our word for it, please have a read of our customer's feedback to see for yourself :-)

Today our animals got to visit Dunham Park Scout Camp and, even better, came away with a special thank you badge! They were so thrilled that they all insisted on having their photos taken with it 😁

Did you know that animal interactions for care home residents has been proven to help residents maintain a self of sense? 🫶🐾

Studies have shown that residents build meaningful relationships with animals, gaining comfort and joy from them which in turn has shown to "significantly impact" the wellbeing and health of some residents, helping them feel more 'at home' and allowing dementia patients to express their identities more.

At Zoo2U we thrive on bringing joy to care home residents across Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Derbyshire, West Midlands and Clwyd! Our sensory sessions are tailored to your care setting to allow residents to get the most out of the experience.
