What’s so special about animal experiences?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]First of all, any age group will love and appreciate quality time with animals. It’s not your everyday activity and animals tend to be the simplest way to reconnect with nature and ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of one-to-one experiences involve caring for animals and learning about conservation. <\/span>Interacting with animals supports kids’ learning and development<\/b>, and gives children the opportunity to <\/span>learn how to be gentle and responsible for others. <\/b>This in itself is incredibly magical for children and their parents! Empathy is a valuable and integral part of being a human so these experiences are really important and will help shape your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have older children, animal experiences are equally as important. We know being a teenager can be a turbulent time all round. Exams, friendships, budding relationships, and drastic emotional changes can leave a teen feeling overwhelmed. <\/span>Strip back your teens worries and cheer them up with a trip to goat yoga or a local woodland farm!<\/b> See how long it takes for your teen’s frown to turn upside down with a pygmy goat balancing on their back…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents, you also need this stress buster. These adorable experiences will help put a smile on your face too. Animals have a surprising calming effect on humans in general and it has been proved that <\/span>spending more time with animals decreases cortisol levels<\/b>. Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. <\/span>Animals can reduce feelings of loneliness and offer great social support too.<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”]\t
