A party they won’t forget.

Not every party needs to be loud to be memorable.

At a Scaly Safari party, the pace is different. Children are captivated — not chaotic. A selection of striking, carefully chosen reptiles is introduced gradually, with time to watch, notice, and get curious. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.

Some children step forward straight away. Others hang back, taking it all in. Both are fine here. Curiosity leads; confidence follows. There’s space to ask smart questions, spot details others miss, and engage on your own terms.

By the end, children are feeling quietly proud and full of stories worth telling — not hyped or overwhelmed. Parents often tell us it’s one of the few parties that feels considered, well-run, and genuinely enjoyable to be part of.

One parent recently shared this after a Scaly Safari party:

“We booked Scaly Safari for our daughters 10th birthday party and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We had around 15 girls and every single one of them was completely engaged. The children got to hold and interact with a brilliant variety of lizards, snakes, a spider, insects, and even watching Pumpkyn the bearded dragon being fed, which was a real highlight.

Allen and Cerries were amazing with the children. They struck the perfect balance of calm, fun and confidence, making everyone laugh while encouraging questions and curiosity. The way they managed the group was effortless, you could tell immediately that this is second nature to them. The session felt relaxed, unhurried and very well judged for the age group, which made it a genuinely memorable experience rather than just a “party activity”. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scaly Safari for birthday parties, clubs or school groups. A brilliant team and an unforgettable experience, thank you for making our daughter’s birthday so special”

We find our parties are at their very best when children are genuinely curious about reptiles and happy to take part at a calm, considered pace.

In particular, this style of party tends to suit:

  • groups of 6–12 children

  • children aged 8–12

  • home settings (or venues) with enough space to sit together comfortably

  • birthday children who are excited to learn, ask questions, and spend time with the animals

That’s when the experience really shines — for the children, the animals, and everyone involved.

For larger groups, younger children, or very high-energy party settings, the experience will naturally feel a little different. We’re always happy to talk things through and help you decide what will work best for you and your child.

Details & pricing

Scaly Safari parties are designed to be unhurried and thoughtfully paced, so everyone has time to enjoy the experience properly.

Group size:

Our parties are best suited to groups of up to 12 children. For larger groups, we may recommend a longer session or a different format so the experience stays relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.

Session length:

Most parties run for 1 hour, which allows plenty of time for gentle interaction, questions, and moments of curiosity — without rushing the animals or the children. Longer sessions can be arranged where appropriate.

Pricing

A Scaly Safari Party is £250, which includes:

  • a fully guided animal experience for up to 12 children

  • all animals and equipment

  • calm, structured facilitation throughout

  • travel within 10 miles of Rhyl (travel beyond that may incur a small travel surcharge)

If you’d like additional time, have a larger group, or aren’t sure what would work best for your setting, we’re always happy to talk things through and help you choose an option that feels like a good fit.
