Animal Experiences
At The Play Space, we believe that meaningful connections with animals can bring joy, comfort, learning, and confidence to people of all ages and abilities. Our Animal Experiences provide unique opportunities to meet and interact with some of our friendly resident animals from The Sanctuary in a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment. Whether you're looking for a one-on-one encounter or a larger interactive experience, our animal experiences are designed to create lasting memories while supporting the important work of The Sanctuary.



Petting Paddock Experience
Step inside the Petting Paddock and enjoy a hands-on animal experience featuring a range of friendly small animals from The Sanctuary. Set within a secure 3m x 3m fenced enclosure, guests can relax, interact, and spend quality time with animals that currently call The Sanctuary home.
This 2-hour experience provides plenty of opportunities for gentle animal interactions, learning about the animals' stories, and creating memorable moments in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.
Pocket Paddock Experience
Get up close and personal with one of the friendly animals from The Sanctuary in our Pocket Paddock Experience. This 30-minute interactive session offers a unique opportunity to meet, learn about, and connect with an animal in a safe, relaxed, and inclusive environment.
Perfect for animal lovers of all ages and abilities, each experience is tailored to create meaningful and memorable interactions while learning about animal care, behaviour, and wellbeing.
