We Bring Out Your Wild Side! No Mess Zoo!
Kimmys Zoo Ltd was founded in 2011 and we travel round the East of England; All of Suffolk and Essex. South Norfolk, East Cambridge, East London and North Kent. We have just over 20 species of animals and our mobile petting zoo provides a variety of fun, interactive and educational shows for every age group and event including animal parties, family fun days, school workshops, holiday clubs plus animal therapy for schools and clubs for people with physical and learning disabilities.
We are Vet Inspected and Council Inspected so you can rest assured that animal welfare is our number one priority and our second is that you and your guests have the most AMAZING memorable experience at your event. Our animals are transported in our large specially adapted transit van with heat mats and air conditioning and they live in our private zoo on our premises. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about their care.
We are a NO MESS mobile petting zoo as we do not have farm animals, and all of our animals are safely enclosed in our portable vivariums and enclosures at all times but just for your reassurance we provide 10 Million Public Liability Insurance which is available to send upon request for your venue.

Schools, Clubs FAQ & Prices
We bring a selection of weird and wonderful exotic animals to your school and you even get to choose the Animals which include meerkats, skunks, snakes, lizards, bugs and tarantulas. Set up takes only 10-20 minutes depending on your package. We get the children to sit around our fake grass mat and teachers are able to join in or sit on chairs. After a short introduction and health and safety talk the journey into the wild begins!! Each animal is introduced to the children in a fun, educational way and then the children will be able to get up close and touch, stroke, hold and feed animals. At the end we ask each child what their favourite animal was providing lots of shocks and surprises for teachers. Then its the very important hand washing time with lovely warm soapy water ready for break, lunch or home time. Please see our packages and prices and FAQ at the bottom of the page.

- Please remember our animals are very heavy and for safety reasons we cannot walk far with them. Please consider a classroom/hall easily accessible within a 30 second walking distance. We also have to do several trips and will need a staff member to hold doors etc.

We also tie down our animals with bungee cords and our specially adapted van allows us to watch the animals at all times during transport and are separated by a large shelf from our equipment underneath. You are able to view the enclosures our animals live in at home on our animals page. Any company you book should be happy to provide this publicly.
