What others have said

Ranger Parties with Stu, are a fantastic way of experiencing live exotic animals in a quiet and focused way.

Such a varied background means that he can stimulate the minds of the children and convey real life experiences of his work with animals.

Background

AnimalMan Ranger Stuart feeding Humboldt Penguins

Stuart has been working alongside Nick since 2007, having graduated with distinction in animal care and animal management from a premier college which specifically caters for people who intend to make a career working with animals.

His career began as a volunteer at a local zoo where he worked with big cats, exotic birds, primates and reptiles.

Since joining, Stuart has presented lectures and workshops in schools and playgroups across the South-East of the UK as well as devising enrichment projects and rotas for the animals under his care at AnimalMan Limited.

"When I grow up, I want to work with animals..."

This is heard in almost every home across the UK - especially in Stuart's from around the time he could talk!

For all you budding zoo keepers imagine an event which incorporates a 'mind boggling' array of exotic animals in a session aimed at teaching the children in an entertaining way. Stuart might even tell you of some of his amazing real-life stories of working in a zoo - it really whets the appetite for all those fascinated by any animal - big and small.

This presentation works very well in a home and is to be considered a quieter encounter for a small group of children - around 15 works well.

Owing to the more 'factual' style of presentation, we suggest that children aged 7 and above would most benefit from our Ranger Shows.

With Stuart's relaxed and informal personality - with an element of mischief and humour never far away - this presentation lends itself beautifully to a real birthday treat as well as school visits, fetes and after-school clubs etc.

Prices for a session are based on an hours presentation, although longer can be requested.

Monday to Thursday	£150.00*
Friday's	£175.00*
Saturday & Sunday	£190.00*
*the price excludes VAT and travel
