Each session is for a maximum of 4 people, and lasts 30 minutes. The minimum ages are 5 for small animals and 10 for medium (sheep, goats).

A minimum of 1 adult is required in each group.

Mudchute is a charity with limited resources, so bookings are non-refundable. Terms and Conditions for the Animal Experiences are available here.
