Anyone ever had an animal party?

One where they bring a selection of animals for the kids to hold? I’m worried some of them (the children) will freak out and hate it. It’s a 6th birthday party.

We had one for my DDs 2nd birthday - huge range of ages with cousins and friends children. It was a huge success, kids all loved it. There were animals for all age groups and the girl running the party was great at talking to the kids about the animals and showing how to handle them. It’s still talked about 3 years later as the best party by lots of the kids and adults

My son went to one aged 5 and loved it. There was no pressure to touch anything you didn’t want to

We had an animal party for my DD's 5th birthday. It was brilliant, everyone loved it. A few were a little wary of the snake, but that was fine as they didn't need to go close. My older 2 children loved it also.
