Animal Handling Sessions is part of the programme at Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston. "Come face to face with wildlife in this fun and interactive Animal Handling workshop." Join the Engagement and Learning Team in the Rainforest room to meet a selection of scaly friends that don't usually come out to meet the public.

• Adults and children attending both need a Gardens Day ticket plus an Animal Handling ticket, booked together online
• "Yes, but children must be supervised by an adult at all times."
