Wild About Britain
WHERE
Cranleigh
What it’s like
British wildlife animals come to you, with guided encounters rather than a walk-round zoo visit.
This isn't a gate-and-enclosures zoo you turn up to on a Saturday. From what they list, Wild About Britain brings native animals to schools, care homes and clubs, alongside one-to-one experiences and party bookings, so the actual encounter happens wherever they've been asked to go.
The animals themselves are the appeal: British wildlife handled by people who know them, with the emphasis on interaction rather than watching from behind glass. They describe it as meeting animal ambassadors close up, which suggests a small, guided session rather than a big open space you wander through at your own pace.
Because it works this way, there's no walking in on the day. If you want this for a birthday, a school event or a group visit, you'd be arranging it directly with them rather than buying a ticket for a set time slot.
Plan your visit
Can we just turn up and see the animals?
No, this runs as visits to schools, care homes, clubs and private bookings rather than a site you drop into.
How do we book a party or event?
You'd get in touch with them directly to arrange it, since it's booked per session rather than sold as tickets.
What actually happens at an encounter?
They bring native British animals along and run a hands-on, guided session, more of a meet-and-interact format than a look-round.
Is this aimed at schools or families?
They mention school visits, care home visits, club sessions and one-to-one experiences, so it covers a fair spread of settings rather than one age group.
