Exotic Animals

London Zoo LATES 2013

IMG_01963 We here at The Amazing Blog  we all work hard but enjoy letting loose every now and then (only occasionally mind!) Since it's now officially summer and we get to experience the longer lighter evenings;  it's great to  discover a new range of sun-down activities for you, our dear readers. So we have to tell you about this one which captured our attention, the little known London Zoo Lates which is now in its third year of happening. When we first heard about this, we couldn't believe our ears,  I mean who would have honestly thought about partying with the animals?!

IMG_90712 London Zoo Lates is an incredible way to spend your Friday nights, chilling out and exploring the urban jungle - that is actually London Zoo. Leaving the stress of your week at the gates you'll enter into a giant sized adult carnival. Featuring there is a wide range of animals and entertainment; such as an adult sized playroom with ball ponds, cabaret sketches and improvised comedy. There's also an international street food festival, several pop up bars, carousel rides, and much much more…You can even get your face painted! You are never too old get your face painted (well, in our world you’re not.... Based in an exotic setting, the night is full of drinks, laughter  and all guaranteed to give you some great memories with friends to treasure.

Taking place since June 7 and continuing until the newly added Friday August 2, tickets are £25. With a group of 10 or more tickets are half price. Starting at 6 pm to 10 pm, all London Zoo Lates guests must be 18 and over, and by the way don't even think about bringing your own alcohol - they'll police you at the door. Drinks are available on-site with a plentiful selection (including alcohol) So why not live out your childhood memories and be a kid once more even if it is just for a few hours -  it'll be totally worth it.

London Pet Show

Who can resist puppy dog eyes and furry tailed cats? Come and see dancing dogs, rabbit jumping races, and a weekend full of exotic animals at the London Pet Show on this weekend 11th and 12th May at Earls Court Two. It's no secret that at we at The Amazing Blog are all dog lovers, so what better way to spend our weekend than with an array of cute and energetic dogs? Screen Shot 2013-03-19 at 2.42.57 PM

This year the UK’s largest pet showcase is right around the corner for us at Earl's Court in London. The showcase will feature animals from dogs and cats to royal pythons and micro pigs - although I'll be sure to stay far away from the snakes. The show will be broken up into four different sections: Discover Dogs, Discover Cats, Discover Animals, and Discover Small Furries. Featuring elaborate demonstrations and luxurious animals, each section is sure to provide a one of a kind experience.

The section that I'll be spending the most time at will be the Discover Dog zone - of course! And with over 50 dog breeds and a programmed event every hour it'll be quite difficult to pull me away . These dogs will be dancing around on stage, playing a fast-paced game of flyball, and showing off their skills in the agility obstacle course.

The kids will love the new “Pony Paddock” area where they can braid their mane and learn about the different types of ponies the showcase offers. Riders can also learn how to use the equipment and tools involved in caring for their pony as well as mounting, dismounting and maintaining balance on The Pony Club’s special mechanical horse. So spend time with family, friends, fellow pet lovers and some exotic animals this weekend at The London Pet Show. Tickets are on sale online for £14 for adults and £9.50 for children over five years old. Family and senior tickets are also available.
