Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

It is our first time here and it didnt disappoint. We went to Dino in the Dark and the kids (8 & 6 year-olds) really enjoyed meeting T-rex, seeing moving dinosaurs along trail and playing crazy golf. Well signposted for Covid too. Would recommend

Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to the UK, this zoo is a wonderful place to visit, see and learn about animals from all over the world. Child-friendly, one can easily spend a whole day here without a moment of boredom. A must visit!

Had fantastic day out with my grandaughter and her nursery.

Easy to find the location , friendly atmosphere, well organized indoor soft play area , friendly staff, healthy animals, cafe/restaurants have reasonable prices and comfortable seating arrangement
Jurassic Park was a fun experience for the little kids.

A huge queue to get in but it moved quickly. Lots of animals from small to large cats. However there were lots of building works going on and limited choice of food. Despite this a good day out for younger children but better value for money at Shepreth or Whipsnade. One of the best bird shows I have seen as birds fly very close and staff knowledgeable.

Lovely place for day out with kids. Loads of animals to see and activities to do. Food and drinks reasonably priced although eating areas bit messy. Overall very happy with my visit

Lovley park. Lots of animals to see and things for the kids to play on

Had an amazing time. Something for everyone...young and old. The animals were soo happy and relaxed. So much to learn too. Refreshments very reasonably priced and staff incredibly helpful. Value for money and defo go back again

Had a great time there ,but had to end it early tho because toilet facilities are disgusting , they make alot of money they should spend it where it is needed

Lion enclosure was being modernised so not their fault that we didn't get to see them. Tigers were awesome, though their cages were small.

Lovely park with lots to see. We visited in winter so they were doing a lot of work for the new white lion enclosure and a few animals were closed off which was the only down side. Food in the restaurant was really good too not your average cheap stuff!

Good family day out, the Jurassic side is really cool.
Was a bit disappointed with the lack of a diverse menu(take a packed lunch).
I'm no expert but the animal enclosures looked very small.....
Just comparing it to other zoo's we have visited.

It was a FUN Day out, the restaurant staff were really friendly and friendly throughout the park, but there was a little magic atmosphere missing! It lacked the excitement I got from going to other animal parks...Got confusing as no staff to ask directions...so children lost interest...Dance stage show and Vinny the baby dinosaur show was great FUN!!

Love the new Dinosaur section. Some of the enclosures seem a bit small.

Great day out, the staff are amazing the facilities are extremely clean and with what's going on at the moment this place was a breath of fresh air

This place is properly under rated.
Came for a Sunday treat for my son and wasn't disappointed!
The Dinosaur Park was also great. Everything Covid secure. Signs and pathways were clearly marked.
The animals were obviously the stars of the show - hearing a lion roar in person was breathtaking and bone chilling all at once.
All in all a great day out.

Nice little zoo with eclectic selection of animals, birds n insect/reptiles. Bonus that u can feed a large proportion of em with bagfuls of veg bought on the way in. Not cheap to get in but clean with free parking n food outlets on site plus gift shop n public toilets . Great for young families with rides n funfair attached. Something for everybody .

Lovely place staff brilliant every ones helpful and I found it alot cheaper than most wild life parks

Lovely park and convenient parking and very nice staff

Lovely place doing important conversation work! Plenty to do for kids.

1. Spaces for each animal is small which is a shame because the park has a lot of space wasted on pointless and ugly plastic decor, cheap fair ground style rides and just empty greenery. If they designed the layout of the park better (especially the birds cages) I believe the animals could have a lot more space to roam without losing out on important utilities and children's playing areas.
2. Indoor enclosures are wasted by using highly reflective Windows which makes it hard to see the animals. Taking photos is redundant. Use non-reflective glass. Also outdoor animals are obscured by high bars.
3. There is no point going in the winter. Most of animals from hot climates look depressed and are usually found huddled up next to one another or next to warm heaters. Just close the park for the winter and focus on improving animal comfort.
4. Food at diner is of poor quality and expensive.

Well worth the money! Dinosaurs are awesome and you don't have to walk miles to see all the animals

An absolutely fantastic place - amazingly well kept with staff that really care.

Good fun for the kids. Their dinosaur park was great. Moving rawing life size dinosaur models lurking at every turn! The zoo was great too.

Wasnt as great as I expected alot of the animals were not available,and alot if animals that said there were inhabited at this park were not . The canteen food area had run out or almost run out of alot of food considering it was only 3 o'clocked and only had a few non meat options... over all a little disappointed.

Went on the weekend for first time since lockdown. The park as beautiful as ever, our favourite the lions as amazing as ever. Only disappointment were the visitors. Staff have masks we had masks but virtually no one else wore them or even knew what social distancing was or appeared to care. Especially in the confined exhibits where temperatures are high and air flow minimum. Very concerning behaviour by British public. Shame the park does not enforce masks as a means of entering the park and make a stand..

Nice place close to central London...however can do the Park in half a day...

Lots to do without spending money great for kids of any age

Traveled all the way from Yorkshire to see a penguin we had adopted, to find the enclosure was closed!!! We had checked the website the day before and the only visitor notice apparent was one regarding the carpark....asked staff about this and they insisted it said it on "the home page".....on a closer inspection of the site upon arriving home it was hidden away in the last tab from the menu in social media then in news....hidden I believe....oh and all the animals were either hidden away asleep or looking very bored.

The dinosaur section is well thought out with lots of species. The Zoo itself has a variety of animals but it is way over priced.

Wow must go ,your family well love it, so much to see and do, we had a Amazing day.

A great place to take small children. Easy to get around and good viewing of the animals.

Great place to go with kids, combination of wildlife, playgrounds and dinosaurs you just don't see that often. Food choices could do with entering the 21st century.

We did really enjoyed our trip, Safari Sam on the door to welcome people, good services, friendly and helpful staffs keeping the place clean with no littering, The volunteers are making a huge different to help around
My 4 years old was scared of dinosaurs park, the sound, the move of the dinosaurs,
Overall Amazing and Fantastic place to visit,

Be Kind to One Another :-)

Nice location, good food and goft shops. Plenty to see

Brilliant place, loads to do there. Great for adults but even better for kids. The animals seem to be well kept and are kept in good conditions. I'll definitely be going back.

Exotic zoo experience for all ages. Lots to do at paradise, wet area, zoo animals, dinosaurs land.

Both my 10 & 7 year old nephews loved it, would visit again

such a great park for the whole family,even has a new dinosaur area,few food places but quite expensive so probably best to take your own picnic as there is places to sit and eat

Nice place to visit with family. An hour and half time driving from Stratford. Very large parking area. Plenty of activities there like viewing zoo, feeding animals, a day photography course etc. Details available on their website. Me and my daughter enjoyed a lot. We could only visit dinosaur park and zoo as we had very limited time. We are again going their with whole family. Great place to learn and fun.

For a small zoo it's very good and the dinosaur part is really good however unfortunately as a small zoo the enclosures are small (I know a lot of use of 'small') and that's why I've only given three stars. A lot of effort but just not fair on the animals to be in such small enclosures.

2nd visit to this place, me n the grandkids absolutely love it !! Already planning a 3rd visit !

Great day out and lots for children to do. Especially like the cafe overlooking the tiger enclosure.

We had an absolutely fab day out. A full day at that! Had gone for a family day out and also as I had arranged the Rainforest experience for my wife. The whole day was flawless. Staff are brilliant and friendly and knowledgeable. Animals and all the enclosures looked well kept.

Nice zoo for young children, with a great dinosaur walk

Excellent place to take the kids, especially if they love dinosaurs

My family and I love Paradise Wildlife Park. It is great all year round. My children are 1 and 4 and LOVE the animals, as do we. It's so amazing seeing the lions and tigers up so close along with all the others - but those are my personal favourites.

The outdoor play area is a huge hit as is the indoor soft play area. Can easily spend a whole day here and still want to come back for more.

we last visited just before Christmas and the Father Christmas was fantastic. Really spent time talking to the children and helped to make it all magical.

Great day out with family
Plenty of space to feel safe and everywhere adhering to Covid rules
Lots of sanitised and eating areas
Lovely

Absolutely amazing place. I did feed a big cat experience and stayed over the night, great price and staff all friendly. Animals look very happy.

Not no good for buggies and the bird feed don't waste your money as they got 8 birds cage full of food.& my son cut both legs up on cut bamboo sticking out from the pathways

Very good wildlife park friendly staff, I fed the Tigers for my birthday the keeper was very knowledgeable. Lots to do especially for children with a water splash area and dinosaur trail and adventure playground.

Nice relaxed visit. Almost everything open. Great job Paradise!

Its a great place but due to the tigers enclosure undergoing rennevation you cant see them and some of thenother cats dont seem to be around because of the work going on. The new enclosure is due to open October 2020 so when thats re-open im sure it will push it up to 5 stars

Animated dinosaurs very realistic! Thought the train ride should have been included in the entry price. Great lions. Some enclosures need updating/extending.

Amazing place, visited dino after dark, kids loved it!

Amazing day out with the kids, definitely recommended!

Good value for money, excellent lions! Great play area for kids too.

It was an Incredible experience and our children loved it. Especially seeing so many animals - camels, dinosaurs, lions, Snow leopards, squirell monkeys, merkats, penguins and many more. They enjoyed taking the train and seeing the dinosaurs, also the play area. The food was good, but we would have preferred to find more fruits there, also the social distancing wasn t respected by everyone, unfortunately.
But overall, it was great and we all loved this experience.

Lots to do and see, great day out for the kids, the park and inclosers are clean and well kept but there was a lot of animals missing, lots of looking at empty cages! Staff were incredibly helpful and polite, just don't skip the que to look at people dressed as dinosaurs they the staff literally block your kids and view even tho they stand in the middle of a playground or seating areas it's a privilege for people that pay only

Great family day out. Stsff are friendly and are always availavle to help out and answer any questions.

Fantastic day out for the kids especially if they like dinosaurs. Loads of play areas and wheelchair access. Will defobbe returning.

Had a great time, great animatronic dinosaurs. Vast range of animals with good clean enclosures.

Brilliant we absolutely loved it!!! Dinosaur park was great!! Only let down is the food on offer so take a picnic ne

It's a great day out for the kids and kept them thoroughly entertained. The restaurant is looking a little tired though and could do with updating

Clean..decent size..good selection of animals..good facilities..Cafe..child friendly..
