We hired Newcastle Party Pets for our daughter's first birthday. The girls on the day did a fantastic job. They were friendly, bubbly and very good at managing the large number of kids who were flocking around the animals. In addition, the number of animals provided and the variety of them was amazing. There was enough animals for all the kids to get a good turn and we were pleased with the setup of the pen. The only thing stopping this review from being 5 stars was their lack of communication on the morning of the party. At the last minute, just a couple hours before the party, they changed the service that we booked and did this via text message, not even a phone call. Aside from that, the service that was provided on the day was great and we would recommend them to friends and family. Your kids will have lots of fun! Highly recommended and such a great fun experience for kids especially seeing as most kids these days just want to play on electronics.
