Discover The Best Animal Experiences Near Me

It's beyond doubt that we are a nation of animal lovers. The facts speak for themselves, with an estimated 13.5 million pet pooches and 12.5 million feline companions in the UK.

Yet our love for animals doesn't stop with domesticated pets, as we've an equal fascination with larger creatures, feathered friends and more exotic species.

And the amazing animal kingdom is yours to explore with Experiences UK and our wide range of Animal Experiences available across the country.

Make A Beeline For Bees

The importance of bees to the Earth's ecosystem is undeniable, as they pollinate an abundance of flowers, vegetables, and fruits.

You can pay your respect to our busy bee friends with a Beekeeping Experience available at multiple locations, including Norfolk, Cornwall and West Sussex.

These educational and informative experiences will leave you buzzing with excitement.

Croc Around The Block

You don't need to head Down Under to get up close to a crocodile; instead, a short drive down the M5 to Bristol will bring you face to face with these reptiles, which can trace their roots back before the dinosaurs.

This is your chance to cuddle a croc, albeit they are slightly smaller than their six metre cousins in Australia.

Slither To Snakes

The south west of England is also the location for an amazing venomous snake tour, which includes some of the most poisonous species on the planet.

Knowledgeable snake handlers will make it an informative and entertaining experience, while giving you a newfound respect for some of the deadliest reptiles in existence.

Make Tracks For Horses

If you want to make a horse experience the ‘mane' event, then let us be your stable partner.

Our packages range from horse-drawn carriage rides in Yorkshire to a packhorse picnic adventure in the stunning Lake District.
