   We couldn't be happier with our snake consultation. Ben and Nathan were able to see us within a week and made sure we had all confidently handled their corn snakes and then our own hatchling before finishing the session. The whole set up was excellent; professional, friendly with expert advice and practical help. Exactly what we needed.

   We had a fabulous visit from Exotic Explorers at our Beaver Scout Sleepover this month. The rangers were so informative and managed to hold the attention of our children for the whole hour. The talk was pitched perfectly for a bunch of 6 year olds and educational without being boring! It was definitely the highlight of our sleepover. Thank you so much for your service :-)

   A brilliant experience with Exotic Explorers in Brentwood! We had them come to our home for a cousin’s party, and they delivered an unforgettable animal show that captivated both kids and adults. The team was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the ecology and impact of each animal they introduced. What stood out most was their genuine passion — it wasn’t just about facts and fun, but about fostering respect and love for these creatures. That enthusiasm was infectious, and it made the whole experience feel meaningful as well as entertaining. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine education, excitement, and a real connection to the natural world.

   We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Exotic Explorers to our daughter’s 6th birthday party, which was Harry Potter–themed – and what they brought to the experience was nothing short of magical. In just 45 minutes, they managed to teach a group of around 40 children all about owls in a fun, engaging, and truly memorable way. The highlight was their beautiful white barn owl, which they let fly in front of the children – and each child had the amazing opportunity to hold the owl and have their photo taken with it. It was genuinely special. From start to finish, working with Puri, our main contact, was a dream. She was incredibly responsive, accommodating to every request and idea we had, and went above and beyond to tailor the experience to fit our Harry Potter theme. And when I say they went all in – I mean it! They arrived in fantastic costumes: • Puri was dressed head to toe in a perfect Slytherin outfit, • Her colleague came as Professor Sprout – complete with Mandrakes (Mandragora officinarum – the magical plants that let out a piercing scream when pulled from their pots!). With a hilarious shriek, the kids absolutely loved it. It truly felt like we’d invited not just an owl experience but two brilliant performers to our party. The owl segment became the highlight of the entire party, with the children totally captivated. There was a rare stillness in the room as the owl appeared – everyone was completely focused. The children listened intently, asked thoughtful questions, and came away having learned so much. The next day, my daughter was still telling me facts about owl brains and how far they can fly – she was clearly both impressed and inspired. It was a perfect way to bring together the magic of Harry Potter with a meaningful, educational experience that sparked curiosity and a love for animals. Puri and her team were professional, punctual, flexible, and had even built in extra time in case the party ran slightly late (which it did – as parties tend to!). Payment and communication were smooth and easy, and the entire experience felt incredibly well-organised and thoughtfully delivered. Thank you so much again to Puri and the Exotic Explorers team. You brought pure magic to our daughter’s party, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to blend fun, learning, and a true sense of wonder. Highly, highly recommended!

   When researching ideas for my animal-loving 9yo daughter’s birthday party, I came across the Exotic Explorers website. Everything about a party hosted by them sounded amazing - educational, interesting and fun! I had high hopes for the party, and it certainly did not disappoint. Ben and Hannah arrived on time, set up quickly and were wonderful and professional from the start. The range of animals we had picked (in consultation with Puri) was an ideal selection. The children were able to take turns (where appropriate and if they wanted) to hold the animals, and they all learned so much about each species. The animals are clearly very well looked after and Ben and Hannah were so knowledgeable. The children didn’t want the party to end but will always have their souvenir keyring and certificates to remember the fun they had! We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Exotic Explorers!

   If you are looking for an unforgettable and unique birthday party experience, I can highly recommend Exotic Explorers. Julie and Hannah were highly knowledgeable, approachable, patient and friendly. The party was well structured, run smoothly and animals very well handled and relaxed. I would also love to praise the care that was taken to make them as comfortable as possible during the party - it was great to see all animals chilled and happy. Puri was very helpful and advised us on the right animals for the age group. (4-7yo). The booking and payment process were easy. Children (and parents!) were mesmerised and loved it.

   A must for any animal lover! Great communication and booking process before hand, Puri helped me select the most suitable animals for my Son's birthday and age. Great set up in the garden, and think the adults loved meeting the animals as much as the kids! It wasnt rushed, everyone had a chance to meet the animals. Puri and Ben were so friendly and knowledgeable... Will definitely book again! A massive thank you!

   Puri and Ben gave my 6 year old daughter a fantastic birthday party today. Communication from the initial enquiry right through to the party itself was excellent and they were hugely professional and knowledgeable about the animals they brought. The animals themselves were relaxed, friendly and obviously well cared for, and Ben and Puri were great if any reassurance was needed about handling (though there was absolutely no pressure if children didn't want to touch particular animals). I cannot recommend enough and we all had a brilliant time!
