Fringe review: A Puppet Zoo Adventure!
This entertaining and educational show is perfect for kids and grown-ups. ★★★★
Remember the excitement of a first day at school? That mix of curiosity, anticipation and just a little bit of chaos? That same bright energy fills the space in A Puppet Zoo Adventure!. Steph and Layla welcome the audience into Adventureland Zoo, where the animals are chatting, the mood is lively and everything feels playful. But when a mischievous Gremlin casts a spell and steals the sunshine, the young crowd doesn’t just sit back, they jump straight into action, ready to help save the day.
Packed with colourful characters, cheeky humour and brilliant puppet work, the 45-minute adventure moves at the perfect pace for under tens. There are songs to sing, puzzles to solve and plenty of chances to shout, cheer and giggle. The expressive puppetry and clever voice work give each animal a distinct personality, while small magic moments and thoughtful crowd interaction keep little minds completely engaged. Gentle learning about animals is woven seamlessly into the fun, making it both entertaining and enriching.
What makes the show shine even brighter is how much the adults enjoy it too. Parents aren’t merely accompanying their children, they’re laughing at the jokes, clapping along and fully invested in restoring the sunshine. It’s lively, heartwarming and bursting with feel-good energy from start to finish.
A Puppet Zoo Adventure! is playing at The Piglet (open-air) at Gluttony – Rymill Park from February 21 – March 22
