I saw these guys yesterday at the djerriwarrh festival in Melton. WOW. I was so blown away, I just had to come and say something. This is a 'petting zoo' (and much more) with a difference. Such a standout. It is extremely evident that Animals 2 U truly cares about the welfare of their animals above all. More than just an entertainment service, this team are clearly animal rescuers and carers first and foremost. As an animal lover myself who can hardly look at other petting zoos where the animals are clearly just a moneymaker and are carelessly handed all day and evidently distressed, it was so refreshing to chat to Susan and Jason and hear about their care and love for these animals (as well as people). I just had to come and make a public comment in hopes other people will see. I would be highly recommending anybody to book these guys over other commercial petting zoos. Well done for the amazing work you guys are doing! I hope we see more animal entertainment services taking your holistic approach!

Can’t thank Susan and the team at Animals 2U enough! We hosted a joint birthday party for our daughters age 4 and 6 and it was a truly magical day! Eskimo the pony stole the hearts of all the kids and adults with his funny tricks and ride after ride after ride…… total of 29 kids some who had a few turns each and even some of the older siblings. Susan was a pro and managed to face paint all the kids in the 2.5 hours we allowed. A very professional and responsive service. Thanks again so much Susan and Eskimo the kids loved it!

Absolutely fantastic. All the animals were amazing and super friendly. My son, his friends and family enjoyed every moment of his birthday party. Well done and thank you Jason and Susan. Highly recommend

Where can I start to express how amazing Jason and Susan are! They attended our oldest son Xander's 4th birthday party with their petting zoo and pony rides.
Jason's care with the young children, nature and patience was only rivaled by Susan's attention to detail and ability to make all children of all ages and ability feel welcomed and comfortable around the animals.
With in hours of the party finishing we had calls from other parents requesting there details and gushing in there praise for them as children who had previously refused to be near animals with in two hours had turned obsessed with them.
Jason and Susan, arrived with a perfect amount of time to be set up before the party and did an amazing job of cleaning up and removing all mess. Half an hour after they went it was if they had never even come except for a single goose feather and a single strand of straw.
What an amazing experience and one we will treasure forever.
Thank you so much!

Wow I couldn’t recommend this company high enough! I booked the petting zoo & pony rides for my sons 2nd birthday & Jason and his team went above and beyond to make it a unforgettable experience & even though we had terrible weather we had the best day. The animals were so healthy, loved and cared for. Jason was so warm and made everyone feel special bringing the rabbit up to my son and letting him have a little pat and telling us stories all about their amazing animals. The pony rides were extra special, having a pony in our backyard and doing walks up and down the driveway made it feel like we were at a fair! Would highly recommend them to everyone and would love to get them again next year the kids & adults enjoyed the experience equally!

The most friendly animals I have ever meet.
They looked so healthy and happy, and it was nice to hear about their stories, and that there is someone out there helping animals in need.
I was pleased to see they had set up a rest area, where the animals could go, when the wanted to get some time away from the visitors, and that they were transported in a vehicle that was air conditioned.
I could clearly see that it's not all about money for this organisation, they truly love their animals.
It was great to get a chance to pet animals I could never have touch without them being hand raised.
If you happen to see them out and about, consider yourself lucky!

Very disappointed as when my kids were playing with the animals the lady was always on her phone, didn’t interact with the kids or parents.

The ladie was really rude and shouldn't be working with children. Uni hill shouldn't have hired them and neither should anyone

Wonderful, easy, so well organised. Would book again in a heart beat! THANKYOU so very much. The unicorn was just delightful and brilliant with all the kids.

Extremely friendly people, very healthy and well cared for animals and enclosures at the farm have air conditioning for the hot summer days and animals are transported in air conditioned vans. Would 100% recommend, I see them all over Bendigo and have seen them in Melbourne! They also offer face paining, balloon sculpting, pony rides and dog tricks. Very impressed!

First time were fabulous (5stars), so we got them again but second time were totally disorganised (maybe 2 stars). For a 2h session only 1 staff member was there even though 2 should have been, food was not provided for the animals, kids were not given brushes to brush the animals and only 2-3 chairs were provided so that only 2-3 kids could enter the pen at any one time. It was a stark contrast to the first time. Given a huge price tag for these events, second time was just not good enough.

Hi Jason & Susan,
I would like to extend a huge thank-you for your hard work and wonderful contribution towards our Playgroup Victoria Week Event “Splash into Fun with Playgroup Victoria”. Once again, the animal farm was one of the most popular activities!
It was such a successful day, receiving wonderful community feedback which has been fantastic, a credit to everyone involved!

Thanks again!
Cheers
Kristy

Jason and his Father came to our fair with all their beautiful animals and was very professional and friendly, all the kids loved the animals and the pony rides were exceptionally busy. Will definately be getting them again

Hello Susan and Jessica,

Thank you for attending Lucy's 7th Birthday on Saturday 3rd October.
Everyone loved all your animals and your very friendly approach to the children and parents.
Lots of people commented on the wonderful idea of putting the smaller animals in baskets and that the kids could brush all the animals.
Thank you again and I would not hesitate to recommend your business to friends and family.
Regards

In response to the horrible review below, I'm the mother who had the 2pm booking on Saturday the 25th of March, for my daughter's 1st birthday. I believe you had the 10am booking on the same day. You tried to make Animals2U cancel my party so you could still get your party. In your review, you mentioned thinking about how you would feel if the guys couldn't make it, yet you openly and forcefully tried to ruin my daughter's day for you're own benefit? ! Hypocritical? When Animals2U showed up to our party, they were extremely stressed not only due to the massive break down on the highway en-route to your party (of which pics are clearly visible on facebook page, not a lame excuse as you called it), but also because of your behaviour and abuse. They were lucky enough to find a towing company that would help them with the animals in tow because the other 10 companies they called wouldn't have a bar of trying to help them. They were stressed enough trying to keep the animals cool and watered whilst waiting to be rescued without your horrible, selfish attitude. You don't know how hard they tried to make it to you, I personally think you should be ashamed of yourself. They were absolute gentlemen to us. They could've easily lost some or all of their animals that day stuck out in the heat like they were, but they worked and worked and worked to make sure they all stayed hydrated and went above and beyond to still make it to our party. I'm so proud of you guys we had an absolute ball and i will never forget my little girl's face as it lit up when she saw your set-up in the back yard. You will definitely be coming back for future events and referred to friends and family. Take care guys keep up the great work! P.s ill send through some pics once printed they're gorgeous!

Not the first time we've worked with Animals2U and I don't think it will be the last. Always professional and the beautiful animals always draw a crowd at our events, they're so cute! Thanks again!
