Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

Great variety of animals, and they seem well taken care of. The park has lots of amusement for kids. Very family friendly.

Had a really lovely day here. Even during the summer holidays we didn't have trouble parking and managed to get round ok. The play areas were great and varied. The animals were lovely but some of them looked like they could do with more space! We loved the meerkats and Lars gibbons.

Not bad, half a day is enough. Getting lunch at lunchtime is horrendous, massive queues and limited seating area. Best bring your own food. However, the food was pretty nice.

Great day for our little boys 2nd birthday. Dinosaurs were brilliant. His favourite bit

Lovely place good for a family day out ...and.... dinosaurs, boosh

Absolutely amazing place to bring the dinosaur obsessed kid. The zoo area was great, but the surrounding area to the Dino land was dated and poorly managed.

Great place to take the kids and spend the day. Prices a little high. Bring coins for things like the dinosaur train and interactive bits like the fire engine.

Such a lovely place to go for the whole family to enjoy. My 2 toddlers absolutely LOVED the dinosaur Park. Our only disappointment was that the tiger area was closed which was the main thing the kids were looking forward to seeing, but they enjoyed themselves regardless.
The park is a perfect size, I forgot to carry buggy with us and thought my children would struggle with all the walking but they easily managed 2 laps around the park.
We will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely zoo to stroll around, animals all well cared for.

Not a massive amount to do, definitely recommended to go with Children.

Lovely place, meerkat experience was exceptional. Food average, staff excellent.

Not sure if I am the only one that feels that it's losing its name. It's not that much of a wild life park rather more of a farm

This park have a lot to offer for everyone. Lots of different animals, brend new habitat for lions. And of course big dinosaurs :). Outside and inside playgrounds keep kids busy. Great place for family day out.

Very poor animal experience events. Not informative animal review. Low-rated customer service. Very disappointing in terms of advert/what-you-get balance.

Very child friendly, well cared for animals, easy to get through and fun! Lots of activities and softplay area for kids.

An amazing experience, its absolutely brilliant the way its set with the dinosaurs and play area and forest animals in one part and the lions , tigers, reptiles etc in another, so much to look at and do and with the speedway museum and the play pool and some pay to play amusement rides as well its definitely a great day out for all the family, all staff are helpful, polite and friendly, so please if you want a great day out go here and you will give it a 5 star review too..

Even with typical English weather three generations had a fantastic day.

Stunning place for both adults and kids. Great family day out and money worth spending since price against the fun is very very cheap.
Would recommend to all who love nature and looking for a fun day out

Firstly this is a zoo and seaside fun park combined to provide an environment that young children will enjoy. Lots of distractions everywhere to keep the young ones entertained over a short day. I can't give it more than 3 stars as a large amount of it appeared to be closed so couldn't check it all out.

Better without covid. Alot was closed and time restricted

it is great for the whole family, a great range of ages enjoying their visits, just bring a packed lunch

Great family day out. A little too expensive though in my opinion.

As always a fantastic day at Paradise all the cats came close to the cages highly recommend this place for a day out

I don't really like zoos as I Think they are cramped and cruel. But this was a great experience and the keepers are very caring and knolageble about the animals they care for

Had a great day here. I got a Red Panda experience for my Birthday and it was amazing! The zoo keeper was so friendly and she knew lots about them and was able to answer all my questions. Went with my husband and some friends and their little boy and there was lots to keep him entertained. The dinosaur section was brilliant too.

Lovely day out and not over crowded, the animals are well kept and the staff are friendly, lots to see and do for all ages

Lovely place to take the family. staff are very helpful and friendly. nice and clean. reasonable prices. highly recommended 5

I was disappointed I could not see all of the animals but I enjoyed it.

Love this place. So much for children to do all day long regardless of weather

Cheaper than any zoo! Great day out for the family , especially now that they have the dinosaur thing going on as well!

Not the best place to visit with a 8 year old most of the animals are in small enclosures and hiding away so could not see the animals. They had run out of food to feed the animals that you buy. The food places had run out of most items and you only found out when you got to the till after queuing for half hour and the restaurant a hour! Very un organised. The children's park area has 4 benches and that's it so left standing while your child plays. The lay out is not great either you follow the paths and end up at dead ends! Total waste of money and time. Could of seen more at the local park instead of driving over a hour away. Will not be returning.

I think that it's over priced for entry then pay extra for trian ride putting and other things.

Magical place! Absolutely amazed with all the animals as well as a dinosaurs park! Highly recommended!

Great day out for all the family. unfortunately the white tiger isn't there at the moment, but still plenty to see.

FABULOUS. Really clean, Lovely big enclosures, lots to see and do.

Full size animatronic dinosaurs... 3 bays of meerkats, and some of the rarer big cats. A great day out.

Great day out with the family. The Dinosaur trail was a massive hit with my daughter who is nearly 3. The prices in the gift shop were reasonable. My only complaint would be, when getting food the chips were rock hard and cold - my daughter who loves chips refused to finish them.

Something for all ages. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. No rollercoaster rides for the teens though..

No real prep for Covid... One way system just creates lots of people on the same place, noone controlling how many people in the inside exhibits so impossible to maintain distancing and loads of people not wearing masks.

Loads of the animals not actually out and some of them obviously have enclosures too small so they looked really unhappy.

If you've got kids then they might enjoy it but for a day out, not great!

We took our daughter to feed a sloth. She had a fantastic time and all the staff were great

Great place for the kids (and adults) plenty to see and do. Depending how many of you food can be a bit pricey. But plenty of room to take a picnic.

It's a really good place to take the kids too. It was my first time going to a zoo in the UK and this was very nice to take some cool pics of the animals. It had trails to explore dinosaurs, wild animals and small areas to have picnic. I would come again here with the family.

great day out lots for all ages lots of places to picnic zoo very well done enjoyed the day with grandchildren

Nice place but not what I expected more for younger children lots of things for the to do.

Amazing place!! Loved! Perfect for families with children, so much to do

A well laid out park with plenty of animals to see and activities for younger children. Keepers are friendly and always pleased to chat about the animals. Nice wide flat paths perfect for wheelchairs or buggys, also handy sheltered viewing areas by some enclosures for wet weather.
I have been to many zoo's but keep coming back to Paradise Wildlife Park and would recommend it to anyone.

Visited for 2nd time today with our 3 boys.This is a fantastic place to visit,the Dinosaur area is amazing with massive dinosaurs most of which move&look great.Has a great little outdoor play area with things for kids of different ages.Zoo part of the park is brilliant,the new Lion enclosure is incredible,the floor to ceiling windows give you an amazing view of the lions.Plenty of other animals to see all in lovely habitats.Restaurant is bright&clean&fairly well priced.Just a brilliant day out.

Great place for the grandchildren had a loverly day out

Not a bad place to spend a family Sunday, however, I'd still choose Whipsnade Zoo as it offers a lot more for almost the same money.

We come here every month my sons favourite place. U can get SO close to some of the animals

Had a great time with my stepson... only wished the tigers were on display. Dinosaur exhibit was really cool. We will be back!

The new Dinosaur installation is fab addition to the park, still love seeing all the animals, and boy does that male lion roar!

Even with Covid still got to see tge White Lion which is Beautiful, Snow leapards are Stunning & got to see Zebras up close

Took my daughter on the Junior zoo keeper experience and it was amazing.
We researched many different zoo experiences and this was by far the best value for money.
The zookeeper was extremely knowledgeable, we pestered with lots of questions.
Lots of hands on experiences with different animals and cleaning and feeding. Made an great birthday present

We had a lovely day celebrating my son's 3rd birthday. The only complaint is the restaurants were not very fast at serving, we waited over an hour in the line because they kept making mistakes or didn't have enough change for people.. Then they ran out of slush puppies in every location and asked we wait half an hour. Other than that really good day.

Animal need space to Rome. The cats just have small space. Sad to see them in such a small enclosure.

Very lovely zoo/Park good day out staff are good and know there animals

Loved this! A fantastic family place and really well thought out. The park layout is brilliant and the amount of things to do was great

Good selection of animals and much more to do besides. A family favourite.

I love the park itself but avoid the diner if you can help it. The cafe near the tigers is nice though and not overpriced either.

Some good viewing platforms to see the animals. Lovely cafe where you can watch the tigers from and get some good photos.

Fantastic time we stayed overnight at the "Snooze In The Zoo" package. The staff where all really friendly, polite and helpful from the booking process with Carly and Miles who gave us a private tour. Both my daughters who are 6 & 12 loved the whole park we will be back ! Thank you x

What a great place to get closer to animals! If you like big cats and want to see amazing reptile this place is the best. Also you may pay additional fee to get in the animal cage and feed and learn about them!!

My 6yr old and me went last week, I felt the animal enclosures were to small, with sad looking animals just pacing up and down.
I was also told by a staff member the wrong place to be at animal feeding time, was not happy as we waited and other people.
My son enjoyed the play area.
I would personally prefer to go to Woburn or Whipsnade even London zoo.

An amazing array of animals. Superb landscapes with informative posting. Amusements and play area of all ages. Food is good quality and not badly priced for the portion.

Half of the Animal Enclosures were closed off due to refurbishments and there was absolutely zero enforcement of social distancing or Hand Washing. The bird area is in desperate need of a touch up and is made even worse by the lack of any shows.



Overpriced and not worth the journey if you're not local to the area.

Nice place for kids to visit. A bit smaller than the map would have u believe and white expensive at that

I was guest at a wedding on a very hot day....staff that were looking after the wildlife very friendly .....but shame the staff at the tiger lookout didn't take care of guests ....3 staff members kept cool with 2 eclectic fans behind the bar as guests left to get their own drinks from the bar which was left sitting at bar as staff chatted

This is one of the best wildlife parks I have been to. My kids loved it. The play area / play grounds were large varied and fun for the kids. The dinosaur world area was looking very cool and the way they moved and made sounds made them very realistic...

There were alot of animals and alot to do for the day. So I highly recommend this Park

Did the Red Panda Experience which was great and our guide was very knowledgable, we enjoyed the rest of the park with animals a good couple of hours spent.
