CLACKMANNANSHIRE youngsters were delighted when ZooLab dropped in on the county last week – bringing a snake, cockroach, tarantula and more.

The Speirs Centre in Alloa played host to two sessions, one in the morning (pictured) and the other in the afternoon, on Thursday, April 14.

The sold-out events were part of the Alloa Town Centre BID’s Easter programme of activities and went down a storm with the children.

They had a close-up view of the animals while educational presenter, Anthony Sweeney, kept them entertained with plenty of fun facts.

For handling experience company ZooLab, which was established 20 years ago, the main aim is to educate, amaze and inspire people.

It works with schools, companies, organisations and more; the sessions show children animals they have never seen face-to-face before.
