PET SAFARI AT LOLLIPOPS NEWTON
Children had a great opportunity to have a wild time with the Pet Party team and their amazing line-up of animals on 18th October! They met tiny tortoises, groom and feed the exotic breed guinea pigs and watched the performing pups. There was a giant skunk to learn about, dragon lizards on laps, mice and leopard gecko zoo parks to create. Guided by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable animal expert, children had lizards and guinea pigs on their laps, built animal habitats, learnt about dog safety, and overall saw and petted a diverse range of small mammals and reptiles. It was loads of fun and an interactive learning experience for everyone!
