Paradise Wildlife Park Review

Great place for kids and adults, dinosaur park is fantastic, good value for money compared to other zoos.

Ok but just felt overcrowded in certain parts gift shop really expensive

Excellent for small children dinasours are very impressive. Stayed much longer than we expected to

Love it here!
Always take a picnic though, food is way to expensive.

Good but not much of a zoo, dino walk had good animatronics

Beet zoo in London, we spent the whole day there. Bring a picnic as the food isn't great

Had a great day here, the park is just the right size for kids and adults and ensures you don't miss anything like other big parks or zoos. Toilet facilities are less than desirable and if you want a sandwich and drink be prepared to wait 20 mins in peak times.

I've been to this zoo twice I've had a brilliant experience, very spacious and doesn't get very crowded. I had the opportunity to see a white tiger and white lions and many other big cats, i prefer this zoo to London zoo, its more worth your money.

We loved it. It suited all ages from ages 4 to 64. It is a good value family day out. Interesting dinosaurs and animal exhibits. Lots for the kids to do.

Whenever I have seen otters before they have always been hiding and you were lucky to catch them - the same with the lions. Here the otters were running along in a line, following each other and looking like they were enjoying themselves. Although not as active, the white lions were sat on top of a rock two metres away. Another big cat looked as though it was coming right at us - spared by the Perspex. A conservational talk we attended was brilliantly executed by Emma, just the right length with just the right amount of fun. A special treat for the children was feeding the Lorikeets with nectar - the adults seem to get the pecking and poop. We finished up at the playground for a jam packed day.

Animals, dinosaurs, indoor and outdoor playgrounds... Paradise Wildlife Park has it all!

We did the Brunch with a Tiger experience. Fantastic guided tour, the staff know the animals really well, each staff member obviously has a good relationship with each animal. Not all your typical zoo animals but still a great range, some fascinating creatures. Food and other services were good, great car parking. Spent from 9:30 (open) to 5:30 (half hour before close) in the park. On the day we went it was great weather, got to most of the talks and feedings. Well worth a visit if you're in the area or especially for one of their fantastic experiences. A great place to spend a whole day.

Paradise Wildlife Park is absolutely amazing. The animals and their enclosures are incredibly well maintained and the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you for yet another amazing visit.

My kids really enjoyed visiting paradise wildlife park. Lots of things to do.

Absolutely great for the kids and if they love dinosaurs it's the closest thing to Jurassic Park!

Probably the best zoo. Thoughtfully laid out. Helpful friendly staff

Great place for a day out lots of things to do for all ages

Great place. Love the glass for some of the larger animsls and the higher vantage points.

Great experience overall, I loved the newest addition with the lion enclosure. The staff were very helpful and always friendly.

Great for kids as there is much to see and do, outdoor play areas, junk food and zoo animals a kiddie combo.

I have been three times once with the school , every time was brilliant the adults as well as the children enjoyed the day lots of fun

Great content, let down by the usual British inability to facilitate the whole experience. Case in point, queue 45 minutes to order food only to discover you are only allowed either 1 ketchup or mayo sachet.

Myself and my partner had a lovely day visiting Paradise wildlife park we spent the day exploring the Animal Park, showing it has something to offer for all ages. The park itself is very clean and tidy, I love that many of the enclosures (where possible) are very open so you can get a proper view! The feeds/talks/show times are detailed in the map and make sure you don t miss them great opportunity to see interaction with the animals. The tree top walkway provides another viewpoint to see the big cats and the new Lion enclosure is great. The zoo keepers and volunteers are very friendly and passionate, they are also very happy to share their knowledge which is lovely.

Thank you to all at Paradise Wildlife Park A must visit for anyone in the area.

Wonderful day out. Lots to see an do. We sat in with the meerkats and fed the tigers. You would need a full day to see it all.

Brilliant place to visit with kids the dinosaur park was excellent with animatronic dinosaurs aswell as a great selection of real life animals and loads of play areas for the children

Great place for a day out with the family. Something for everyone

Various creatures to see and learn about, from armadillos to penguins.

Love it here perfect for dino bossed kid and animals too x so much to do without walking miles

Snow leopards. Baby jagger. Tigers. Crazy golf train ride :) dummy fairys in the woods

I love it. Perfect for family with kids. Lots of animals. Everywhere you can reach with a buggy. I never seen so many benches. There where everywhere. No problem to find a place to sit even when place is full. Lots of places where you can buy a food so no need for waiting lots of time to order. Activities for children and playgrounds and a small train you can take to go around. And much much more.

Lovely zoo with new dinosaur Park and lots of play areas

Excellent selection of animals, not too expensive and not too busy especially during term time

We got there at 2pm and was told it closed at 5pm but in fact all the animals are closed by 4pm,really disappointed, our son missed out on his first trip,
We accept it gets dark but would of been nice to be told on entry so we could of seen the animals first to save any disappointments,
We will visit again but get there at opening time,
Other than that its a great place

I've been before and it was good....only reason this time I've given it a 3 stars is because it was under construction at the time of visit and the wolves where hiding, the tiger was at the vets, and their gift shop is very over priced

The best burgers in the UK ... a pity that the entrance fee ...

The kids really enjoyed themselves. A very interesting place.

Great place but need to be more affordable for families

A great Zoo, not too big but big enough. You can go round to the bits you enjoyed more than once without having to walk miles. The animals enclosures and zoo itself are clean and kept well. The restaurant like at any zoo is rather expensive but the sevice was fast and the place kept clean. Good value for money when booking tickets online. Pleanty to do if you have kids. Lots of parking. Worth a view.

An excellent wedding venue with a zoo thrown in. Could you get anything better? Most unlikely.

So much to do and see you can't fit it all into one day!

Today was the 2nd time we visited, first time was a Breakfast with the Tigers Experience and today we fed the Red Pandas, thoroughly recommend both these. The park is very good value and plenty to see and do.

Great place. Lots to see and do. It really is a children's paradise.

Perfect for a family day out! They don't have too many animals but instead they have some rare species like the white lion and white tiger.

The animals feel so close you can almost touch them

Great place. Animals really well cared for. Went for an animal experience of feeding the tigers. Amazing....

Really well set up in the current climate. Park was a nice type of busy but was still very spacious. Forget how big it is and can easily spend the day here with a little one. Will be back to get the membership as looks great value!

We had really good time, would recommend to enter early in the morning when it's less people. At lunch time felt a bit too crowded no safe distancing, had to leave early.
But over all had great time.

It's a nice wildlife park for a day out with kids. However, the animal enclosures are too small and food options are scarce. I guess this'll be my first and last visit.

This park offers you the chance to see and experience animals at close proximity. It is about 30 minutes drive from London and is easily reached. The staff are very nice and very helpful at all times. This place is very much geared towards children as they have themed rides and activities, and play areas. Good selection of eateries at reasonable price or bring your own food and have a picnic!

They have rare red pandas and white tigers, and the elusive snow leopard .... spectacular. A worthwhile trip!

Had an amazing day here today would highly recommend. The only Zoo we have been to that has soo much for children. Very clean,very nice and plenty to do. Ps don't stroke the zebras they may bite.

Awesome place we spent a good afternoon
Paradise park is amazing

Had a fantastic time feeding the wolves, the animals here are gorgeous and are so well looked after, the team are very informative. Great day out!

Fantastic interactive place, animals well kept and loved. Staff generous with their time and information

I haven't been to Paradise Park for many years. I was excited to go back with son and 5 year old grandson.
It has expanded of course with an amazing dinasaur trail which of course the 5 year old loved! Lots of scary " monsters " roaring and looking incredibly realistic moving their arms , heads and rolling eyes.
The park is suffering with the restrictions that have been imposed avoiding Covid. It did lack atmosphere because there was no commentary no feeding and quite a few walkways are shut.
The white lions were beautiful but because the tiger enclosure wasn't finished we only caught a glimpse of him . I was disappointed in not seeing more big cats as that was what was so amazing in the past
Also the wcs were not as clean as I would expect . One of the portaloos was in a poor state and I wondered if this had been cleaned first thing.
I didn't think there were enough guides either .
The animals all look in peak health and I hope next year the park will have regained its former buzz.

Was excellent day out with family, would highly recommend

Nice-sized zoo, good for an afternoon's walking around and seeing the animals.

Social distancing is not easy here, the one way trail in place helps somewhat but people group up in enterance/exits and around the enclosures. That being said the animals and parks are very nice if you can get to them.

This place is beautiful staff really care for all the animals
Great day out with family

You must book in advance. There was still some waiting in the queue to the tills, but it went very quickly and we were in. Forgot something in the car? No problem, leave via exit and then just show the ticket to get in without the queuing. Went there twice, visited different areas and time spent about 2+ hours there every time. Dinosaur walk and train ride were really nice and there's also quite big children's playground. There could be more variety of animals to see (compared to other ZOOs), some parts were closed and some animals were either away or sleeping, and it got busy around 1pm but I wouldn't see it as an complain. Had a snack there - typical unhealthy options (burger was terrible, chips average, perhaps OK for the price). There was also an ice-cream stall but didn't try that. Obviously you don't go there for the food, so if you want a healthy option take something with you. Overall happy with the experience and will definitely go there again.

Quite expensive to take the family out but I cried all day experience. Great for young children, I used to go a lot as a child. Get there early and leave late make the most of the day.

Small, friendly place with knowledgeable s d approachable staff.

Pretty big zoo with a wide variety of animals and a well kept park. They also have a tiny train ride and some nice walks as well as adventure play ground.

Nice little park and close to where I live ....could do with being a bit more reasonable with the size of the park ...its not really a day out. The new dino walk thing is very good nice addition.

It's a nice zoo, very easy to move around with baggy or whilchair. The staff are all very kind. If you are tired to walk around there are several small play park around where children can play. Enjoy

Perfect place to bring kids, the stench of camel's can get intense but other than that definitely would go again

We visited paradise wildlife park with my 18 month old grand daughtef .We went on a coach as part of her nursery We had a wonderful time .The little babies and toddlers lovrd it There were lovley shaded areas to have picnics ..Everything was so well spaced out .We felt very safe .The ani.als appeared very well cared for .They were well spaced out for the children to see .We will definitely be back
