Crazy Creatures was formally created around 15 years ago to combine our passion for animals, wildlife, and education and access to nature & animals, particularly for all young people. 


We are fortunate enough to now have a beautiful premises at home in the heart of the New Forest, Minstead, offering visits, sessions, alternative provision, courses and residential options in our tranquil B&B.
​
We also cover East Dorset, West Hampshire and South Wiltshire. We offer unique mobile classes, family sessions, close encounters, workshops and events to remember with our own collection of 40+ amazing animals.
​
Crazy Creatures offers something very different with lots to learn and lots of fun to be had for all ages! A whole host of amazing creatures from miniature horses/dogs, reptiles to insects, mammals to birds, rare breed sheep and invertebrates to amphibians from all over the world. There is plenty to see, admire and handle from the comfort of your own home or chosen venue, or visit us in beautiful Minstead, New Forest. We can even offer overnight family-friendly B&B accommodation!
All of our animals are owned by ourselves as pets and are risk and temperament assessed to ensure a fantastic display with the safety of the children/participants and animals always put first. 

We firmly believe that animals are to be admired and studied, whilst they are introduced and gently handled under supervision, rather than used as 'gimmicks' or for entertainment. Our animals are a much-loved part of our family and kept to the very highest standards. Meeting the creatures is lots of fun and great for learning and confidence building! The interaction with the creatures brings all it's own rewards and fun!

Combining a wealth of experience, knowledge and qualifications we guarantee to bring excitement and amazement for your day to remember with plenty of information for any of the many questions asked. We have a host of fascinating facts and resources for educational purposes and fun.
