Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

A brilliant place for kid and adults. The new dinosaur attraction is like being in DISNEYLAND! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The animals all look super healthy and well cared for. I am looking forward to a return visit.

It's our annual tradition to go to Paradise Wildlife Park so we were thrilled when it opened again last month
My daughter loves it even though she's now in her 20s
She's a keen photographer and she wasn't disappointed being able to get some great shots of her favourite animals including the elusive snow leopard and the cheeky meer cats
A great family day out with plenty to see and do for the kids

Good day out with lots to see. The lions, tigers, leopards and jaguar are amazing to see.

The dinosaurs were extremely poor, cobwebs hanging from them, so bad they were actually funny. The actual zoo was really good, however works are happening so some birds of paradise were not around and the major cages were still being built

Brilliant day out for the Grandchildren. Beautiful place, well maintained and happy animals.

A fantastic day out for the whole family.
I go every February for the speedway reunion when many old stars of the oval circuit meet to swap stories of days gone while current stars can look to the future of our great sport

Always a good wildlife park but has even much improved with all the new work that has been done since our last visit, exceptionally enjoyable experience for all ages if your as bigger animal lover as me have fun

A great variety of things to see and do, really enjoyed the dinosaurs. Will definitely go again.

Great destination for the little ones! Plenty of kids play equipment in various parts of the park (the big multi-lane slide being a particular highlight) all included in the entry fee. I was very impressed by the viewing platform (tiger treetops) that traverses the big cat territory that contains an impressive range of big cats.

A really fun day out!
You can really see the massive investment that's been made recently. Some incredible new enclosures - the animals seem very happy.
The play areas are varied and full of good activities.
I would highly recommend taking a trip here, especially if you've been in the past. You'll hardly recognise the place for all the right reasons.

Fantastic place -great venue; range of birds and big cats especially the white tigers and leopards; good food and place to eat rest and enjoy your day with family and kids.

I was probably expecting it to be slightly bigger, nevertheless, really enjoyable experience. Kids seem to love the dinosaures exhibition!

Great place.. My 5yr old son loved it.. I loved it. We will definitely be back. The dinosaurs are amazing!

Great for the kids, managed well during the covid crisis. Would recommend

Not as big as I thought. The kids loved the splash pool, play area and the dinosaur park more than the animal park. It was clean but toilets were lacking especially when I went there was 3 toilets outside the dinosaur park and 1 had a block so there was a waiting cue

Brilliant day for children and adults to bond and have a great time with the children great play places very clean the only down fall I had was the catering staff cooking the food and there customer service the lady manager is so so rude the girls don't no what there doing good job the catering manager does he couldn't believe the rudeness and the poor food thanks to him for sorting it all out

Great place hope to get married here one day like it lots

Really lovely place! The animals are great and very thing is very well organised

Great day out. A must visit as couple or family. Something for everyone to see of all ages. Incredibly friend staff all over the Wildlife Park. Keepers are very knowledgeable about their animals.
The new White Lion enclosure looks superb, will be back to visit it once it's open. Parking was easy and free. You get your hand stamped so you can return to your vehicle and then gain entry back in to the Wildlife Park without any issues.

Great place for family and kids, has a multi faith room, car park.

Great day out, loads to see and do. Animal area, dinosaur area is great fun with some great realistic automated ones.
Little speed way museum that has a load of gear in there.
Would recommend to any family.

Great place to visit. Loads for the kids and great if you love big cats.

It's a shame because I really liked this place because it had a wide variety of animals and other creatures. But this time around I was sorely disappointed do to the lack of variety they had compared to the years I visited before. The only thing I would say that has improved was the addition of Jurassic park which I must say was superb. That was a nice touch. I feel it could be developed further in the future and if done right, would make for an amazing experience. I would still recommend at least one visit to see for yourself as this place has great potential.

Beautiful zoo, nicely laid out and plenty to see and do. A little pricey but kept all ages in our group entertained for approx 5 to 6 hours. We took a picnic and hard to find space to sit and eat it but well worth a trip.

It's a lovely place to visit the animals, explore the wildlife and there's a play park for the children too.

Great little zoo with plenty of opportunities to see the animals at close quarters and good to see that they are enlarging some of the enclosures, especially the lion pen which does seem quite small. We saw a few of the big cats pacing up and down repeatedly but I'm not sure if this mirrors wild behaviour in any way or if it reflects anticipation or stress.

The new dinosaur section is brilliant, probably the best dinosaur park we have been to and it was nice too see a Dino park ranger walking about to help with questions. In general the staff were absolutely fab, very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable - a real asset to the park.

I think the only let down would be the food which is mostly fried if you want hot food and not particularly cheap. The staff may need some extra training too as my server dropped my drinks bottle on the floor then proceeded to hand it over to me. TBH most places like this don't do food that well.

We would definitely come back here, but maybe in the spring or summer when we can bring our own food and eat outside.

Quite over priced for what it is. A lot of work going on in animal section. Dinosaur section was good.

I had a pretty conceived idea about this place with turned out to be completely satisfied with wrong. For a start there are far more species of animals than I would have been thought. There is very little to criticise the here. Great to see the white tigers with are virtually all extinct the in the wild. A very enjoyable day.

Great day out, so much to do. My son hasnt stopped talking about it

I've been a regular visitor to Paradise and have always enjoyed the variety of cats. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful and give great talks about the animals. I would thoroughly recommend a visit!

Good place for the kids, reasonable price. Building work going on when we visited but sure once done it will be better. Good selection of animals, great day out for the kids.

Went on a chilly bank holiday Monday, (makes a change from it raining!) went with slight apprehension as only heard a few good things, but was pleasantly surprised! All very clean, enough animals to keep you interested for several hours and plenty of things happening around the park. Must say a well done to the keepers who made the effort to stick around and chat to people after the talks. Had a very interesting chat to one of them regarding the wolves when he didn't have too and probably had better things to be doing. One niggle, the shows in the tent need to be bit better thought out. Am sure its not easy with a room full of screaming children but all seemed a little but unprepared! All in all a pleasant and worth while trip and a good chance to try out my new camera. Well worth a look if your stuck for something to do!

Unique species of animals.... Great playing space for children... Love it

Well organised, Covid ready. Lots of empty enclosures though.

Amazing day out!
The dinosaur area is so fun, the animotronic dinosaurs are interesting to see and make a lot of sounds. Feels like the set of Jurrasic Park. The animals are also wonderful to see- big cats, camels, reptiles and a range of other animals. Loads of food and drink available as well as plenty of free parking. A must see place!

Wow ! What a fabulous place . They had a dinosaur park with many realistic animatronic creatures that moved and roared in such a way that it was as if they were alive . The zoo had lots of animals including the very rare white tigers . They had many lectures , feeding the animals and theatre programs going on throughout the day . There were numerous places for the children to play in . All in all a really great day out ( We were there the whole day from morning until it closed ) . We all went home exhausted but happy !

Annual member here and love the place, for what it has and offers it has to be a 5 star rating. Sure, it does have things that could improve like the food quality in the restaurant diner but it is as expected. Great place!

The enclosures were sadly far too small for all the animals. Overall 10/10 for everything else, very friendly staff and had an amazing dinosaur area,the park itself is very nice and all the animals looked in good condition but downfall being that the enclosures were too small.

Amazing place. The animals were all out, lions and tigers. All the animals were there and it was beautiful.

Lots to see and do. With plenty of outdoor and indoor play areas. Best for under 10s.

Great for families, so much to do for everyone. Will be back

Great local zoo to keep the kids entertained. Lots of animals to see and its always making improvements. On the down side when its quiet i dont think they run all the shows which is a shame if youve spent a lot of money getting in. On the whole though i would definitely recommend it.

Reasonably priced Not sure if animals have enough space but seemed ok. Not sure why baby changing facilities are only in ladies toilets Dinasaur part was fun.

For a relaxed zoo experience this place is perfect. Dinosaur walk through and meet various dinosaurs throughout the day, many animals including tigers and white tiger, monkeys, lemurs, camels, meerkats, red panda, reptiles and exotic birds.
Lagoon area for kids to splash around in on hot days.
Plenty of picnic tables surrounded by play areas.


We went in August during kids holidays, it was busy but still very comfortable and chilled out.
Definitely recommend this place.

Very nice Place to spend time with family and kids.

Great day out. Im so glad we booked early slot as later in the day it was very very busy but we were finishing our tours so avoided the crowds! It would be nice to see tigers thus it should adjust the price while they settle in (some More

Great zoo, new lion enclosure is fab. Soft play is good, although often messy.

Great local place. Sadly staff at the food places let it down for us. Really had a don't want to be here attitude.

My granddaughter loved it. Well laid out. Great selection of animals which are obviously very well cared for. Plenty of facilities. Def a whole days worth if you can pack everything in. Count recommend more

Fabulous place for people of ages. Best place to see the wonderful tigers and the gorgeous red pandas amongst all the other wonderful animals.

My boy and I love it here, we go at least once a month, he loves the dinosaur walk

Haven't been here in years and it's completely changed. Alot if brilliant new attractions to see. If you've not been I'd wait a couple more weeks as there doing a new lion enclosure which looks amazing when it's finished. We went on More

Excellent zoo with lots for small children to do, they have been doing it up and it shows. Good value for money especially if you can find deals on littlebird or similar voucher sites

Really enjoyed our recent visit with my twin boys. Child friendly with lots of activities for kids. Lovely playground, paddle pool area, soft play to name a few. Lots of animals as well to see and we got to watch the penguin feeding and talk.

I don't know what the person below is moaning about. Obviously you had your eyes shut the whole way round...

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday. Our first visit but definitely not going to be our last. The variety of animals is incredible, and you always see staff wondering into the pens checking up on them. My girlfriend was in a wheelchair and it has to be the best wheel chair friendly zoo I've been to. The staff were very helpful and we never waited long for a disabled pathway to be opened. Everything is reasonably priced there from admisson to food. The childrens areas looked great fun and very safe. Great day had by all

Fabulous for families and all human spectrum very easy access all round.

Love this place - good value, not too busy that you have to queue to see the animals and the dinasour park is great. Great space for the LO's to just run around. You can easily spend the whole day here and have enough to do.

Great place to bring your kids. If they are not completely tuckered out by the time you leave, you have been at the right place. My 3 year old boy absolutely enjoyed himself.

Lots of staff, poorly trained. Felt run down though lots of building work going on. The council were blamed for the (very) unwelcome parking charge. The talks were not aimed at children, though when prompted, staff pleasantly addressed them. Volunteer guide recounted anecdotes rather than information on big cats. Extra costs for rides left poor taste in mouth. We missed the unpublicised shows so quality unknown. Shall give it one more chance. Annual ticket holders exempt from parking charge, apparently....

Great little zoo. Best one so far for getting close views of the animals. The animals also look well kept considering the lack of space they get.

So much to do and see. Food is expensive and not that great so take your own, and plenty of drinks. But the kids definitely won't be bored. Thinking of getting an annual pass as we are only 40 minutes away.
