Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

Fantastic Day Out! Well organised, Helpful Friendly Staff,Easy Access.
Got to go again!!

Brilliant day out for kids and big kids! (30 year olds on a date) really recommend

Great place to take the little ones but make sure to bring some pound coins for things like the train, water games and gift shop.
There are places to eat here but will be taking a packed lunch next time.

Get there EARLY as it can fill up quickly at the queues to get in. Great for children with play areas which have been all updated and more safer and eye catching. Take your own food if you want for picnics. As food bought it quite pricey! Gift shop is full with extras..little expensive..Disabled accessable all the way around.

Excellent variety of wildlife that were housed in what look like very good conditions. Excellent complimentary dance show.

Loved it. Went on recommendation. Only downside - very hot today and needed more seats in the shade. Difficult to sit out of the sun. Brilliant place though and will definitely go again

Had a lovely kid's birthday party! Loved by all the kids.

Nice small zoo. Animals are well kept and look very healthy.

I always have a great time when visiting, I love seeing the animals and it's a good place to have a picnic!

Enjoyable day out. Venue has implemented social distancing measures in the queue and on the train ride and encouraging hand sanitizing with lots of sanitizing stations around. Also masks are required in any indoor areas including cafe and rainforest walkthrough. The baby changing room in the cafe was quite dirty. It looked like it could use a deep cleaning and a paint job. I really didn't want to change my baby in there but had no choice.
The food in the cafe was pretty good and meals were decently priced. Though I found the drinks were what was expensive.

A lovely day out. More than a zoo, a great playground, dinosaur display and before covid they also had indoor soft play, splash pool and bouncy castle. More than enough to keep the kids happy all day.

Best zoo in the London area! Healthy looking animals, good interaction, and staff willing to help out and answer questions!

Also very disabled friendly as well!

Love this park. I visited for an animal experience. We met the lemurs and meerkats. Excellent. The staff knew what they were talking about. I felt completely safe in with the animals and feeding them. Really enjoyable experience, that I hope to repeat at some point!

It's been 20+ years since my last visit to Paradise Park and it's changed so much. The heart of the wildlife experience is enhanced and the additional features are fabulous - especially the animatronic dinosaurs!

A great place to take children of all ages and a lovely day out for all.

Small and zoo like which would suit very young children or those with mobility issues who struggle with the hills of bigger zoos but I did miss the larger animals. All in all, an okay place.

Had a great day out at paradise wildlife park. Ticket prices were a little pricey but you get your money's worth. Not only do you have an animal park, there is a dinosaur park, paddling pool, soft play and a speedway museum. Some of the enclosures were a little overgrown but it did look like they were undergoing maintenance. The big cats were great, they had more than most parks. The food was great, great portions and a great price. Would recommend this park and would love to go again.

Love animal places, would go there every week if I could.

Disappointed not a lot of animals and little room for excerise although very clean

Just a fantastic place, that puts the welfare of its animals first.

Had a great day, can get closer to the animals than at bigger zoos

Fantastic Park. ..went on a bank holiday Monday 27deg.... Place could not of been busier with that combination but you do not feel it. open spaces easy to navigate and loads to do with our 16 month old.
The dinosaurs was a added bonus and the little one found the whole thing thrilling. Staff were so polite and helpful ...Park was clean with animals looked after as best you could hope for. Great Park and much cheaper than London zoo with loads more to do!

Brilliant day out loads for kids to keep them occupied reasonable prices inside

This place is really beautiful. Took our two kids for a day out but me and my wife ended up enjoying more than the kids. Just for the people who need to know, this place serves some Halal food. So you don t need to take so much food with you thinking there might not be any. I also love the Motorbike museum they have there.

We went last year to see Santa, brilliant place. The kids had so much fun with the dinosaurs in the Jurassic world bit which has lots of fun photo opportunities.
The animals are amazing and you get to see them so close up. I wasnt too busy, there is plenty of parking and good facilities. I do reccomend getting into to the little cafe early at tiger feeding time so you can get a good view in the warm with a nice hot chocolate.

Very tacky
Alright for kids and a cheap day out but it's nothing world chaning

Cruel to see the animals like the big cats just pacing back and forth clearly mentally ill. Prices are disgusting.

Wonderfull zoo well thought out plenty to do and see

Bit deads-ville in the winter but you get the zoo to yourself. Quite Expensive for what it is. Parking is free.

Really good place for young children everything together in small area. The lagoon is really nice on a warm summers day

We paid 65.00 per ticket for tea with the tigers we thought we would get something special and have to say we were very dissapointed gate price is approx 20.00 each so total would have been 40.00 if just turning up and we could have just More

Great value for money fantastic staff the kids do not want to leave they have so much hassle fun. Animals beautiful

Was worth it just for the dinosaurs! A little expensive, but a good half-day spent with a great selection of animals, some interesting walkways and ways to see things, and friendly staff.

Great place for young kids with its dinosaur park and play areas. Our boys were exhausted by the day's end.

Fantastic place to spend some quality time with your family and friends.

Better for younger children but staff are very helpful

Had a lovely day out with the family, would highly recommend as my son loved the dinosaur park and train, we had to go back round after seeing the animals. 5

Its pretty good value for money. Lots of different animals there. Missing some of the 'big guns' like elephants, rhinos and giraffes, but they had a tiger, some white lions and a couple of snow leopards so still pretty decent. Food and gift shop were expensive, but then thats to be expected with anywhere like this.

My favourite small zoo. Big enough to house a good range of animals in acceptable conditions.

I like the lions a lot , and am wildlife artist. I do watercolour I am inspired.

Such good value for money. Perfect for the little ones with loads of playground equipment round every corner... love the new Dinosaur world area with the animatronic dinosaurs. Also great to be able to view the animals from more than one angle (From the ground and on the treetops walkways)

I love Paradise Wildlife Park! Great selection of animals (the White Lions and Tapirs were a particular highlight for me!) The dinosaur area is great for kids and adults alike. Would definitely recommend going outside of school holidays if you can!

The Paradise Wildlife Park was really nice, a bit long to get around the whole place but apart from that it was good. The prices for goods where also very high.

Brilliant place. We fed the red pandas and it was amazing. The staff were exceptional and very informative. They have volunteers there raising money for the animals. All the animals seem super well looked after and relaxed. Just a great day out for all the family.

It was to expensive for what it was 60.00 pounds for two Adults 2 children and an infant

Wonderful little wildlife park with plenty to see and do. Well set out with a great meal at the cafe. Would recommend to anyone with a day to fill and little ones.

Treated my daughter to "Shadow a keeper" day and despite torrential rain she said it was the best experience ever the keepers were very knowledgeable and made her feel really welcome. Would highly recommend.

I was left feeling nothing but depressed after visiting Paradise Wildlife Park, all the enclosures especially the big cats are what can only be described as a inhuman size. if the park operates within the regulations of keeping animals then these regulations need to be changed and fast! Big cats that will never have even got to run in there life, let alone run free, absolutely soul destroying place! The argument of keeping endangered species in captivity so they may bread and re-populate is one to be had, but not if its only prolonging such a sad existence. I will never be returning to the centre and advise anyone with a an ounce of compassion towards animals to steer well clear! I'm disgusted by the fact that the money myself and family spent will contribute towards keeping such a awful place open!

I was cheated by a cheetah, hissed at by a hissing cockroach, looked at by a black monitor, ignored by a pride of lions, stonewalled by a wallaby, peered at by a spider, saw a camel with the hump, been analysed by a red panda, cold shouldered by a snow leopard, screeched at by an owl, farewelled by an alligator, had done a silly sketch by a python, had the ground made very hot by a kookaborough, shown a small feline by a meerkat, given a small bar of chocolate by a penguin, and had a cup of tea in the cafe at Paradise Wildlife Park.

Brilliant day out, visibility of the animals is fantastic and the toddler in our group was able to see everything. The dinosaurs were brilliant!

Had a brilliant day in paradise park. The speedway museum was excellent 5 star, the animals were lovely and everything was good til we wanted something to eat... We went to the cafe where they waited until we queued to inform us they had no pastries, so we went to the restaurant instead-plastic plates and cutlery were basically a sign of things to come. The chips were dry and the fish was greasy, found it very expensive for the food and quality we got. Apart from the dodgy food though, the actual place is excellent. Would go again but with a packed lunch perhaps.

Fantastic Day Out!!! Lots of wildlife and soft play centre inside park. Plenty to do. My kids loved it 10/10

Lovely place to go with your kids ive been here a good few times now. They have a good amount of animals and eating areas with a lovely park for the kids and the dinasour area is a bonus.

Very good , wedding reception for us tonight great all round , could with some kind of cab service , cabs offering 45 mins to a n hour service , we rang uber , hey ho there in 10 mins , i rest my case , but good food , good company , great venue

Great Day out. Took my daughter for her 10th Birthday and added reptile and bug Bonanza. She loved it and got up close and personal with giant turtle, snakes, cockroaches and stick insects. Very knowledgeable staff and despite all the Covid situation theu seem to have a very settled and organised system. I only wish I saw gorillas, everything else but none of my faves but loads to see and I don't know why I've never been there, only an hour away from my home and would definitely visit again. More 'zones' on the way with the tiger zone just opened and a little building going on so there's enough improvement going on to know they are expanding and will have more too see going forward.

Excellent little zoo loved the big cats good day out

Dinosaur experience was awesome. The kids loved it. They all loked really good

Great for the kids, lots to do and see. Nice day out.

Really good experience for all within close proximity to London. Decent pricing, loads of healthy animals and amazing staff. Convenience facilities well located across the park and a surprise reflection room near the entrance for those who need it.

Agree with all the posts about cages too small and animals look incredibly stressed pacing up and down. I was uncomfortable to be here and will not be returning. It should be closed down. Poor conditions. Cruel cruel place

Fantastic park, lovely and clean with plenty of flowers and greenery. Really child friendly. A good day out

Great family fun day out for all ages big kids and little ones alike! Staff are all friendly and facilities look all clean and money appears to be all spent on caring for the animals.

Lots to see , wolves , kimodo dragons , geckos , panda s , lions and more

Really interesting place to visit and take children
