Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

I absolutely love this zoo. We have a family membership and go every week if we can. Excellent play areas for little ones and lots of lovely animals and exhibitions to see. They also have a great dinosaur area with a little train ride through it which is another big hit with the kids.

Lovely place to visit first time and it did well with dealing with one way system and glad we went when Dinosaur bit was open and tiger bit is nearly finished but great will go again good if you have small children has play equipment.

Lovely afternoon with the animals and Father Christmas and his super elves. Food was really good quality and everyone friendly and helpful

Best visited on a warm day:)) staff lovely - wonderful animals - the children love visiting so did we thank you

A small animal park. Family friendly. There are trains to Brouxborne where you can call the park and they pick you up in a transfer.

It was a cozy place. I really loved the Dinosaur part with dino-robots moving and the classic dinoroars

My Wife and I visited for a Snooze at the Zoo experience. There was a mix up with our booking however this was handled brilliantly by the staff who made sure we had still had a fantastic day!

The staff were knowledgeable and friendly throughout and taught us a lot about the conservation work carried out and how the animals are looked after. The animals all looked comfortable and content and had quiet areas to get away from the public, however luckily we managed to see most, although the Ocelot was shy.

Would recommend for all ages with or without kids, although lots of entertainment for children on the site too.

Great place if you have children, its quite small and I wouldn't say its a whole day's worth but its more fun for kids. The dinosaur section is great
Lots of areas to sit and eat your picnic

It's fun and you actually get to see happy animals.

Lots of animals in nearly natural settings,they do a merecat experience as well! Very good for children,they have arial platforms to get up amongst some of the animals for perfect photos etc.Refreshments are available, food to feed some of the animals as well.

Quite a good day out. Animals were a little inactive due to the heat and some of the food stalls were not serving their full menu. We found if you go and you haven't got kids the day is pretty short but if you have you can make a whole day of it. Didn't play the crazy golf in the end as the Mrs is pregnant and didn't feel up to it. Was all quite clean. The staff were friendly and animals seemed happy. Was a little disappointing for the train it's extra on top of entrance for a little ride. It kind of feels like it should be included in entrance fee. Otherwise a good day out to see animals current and extinct!

I really liked the experience there beings it was my first time going to there,there's plenty of animal's there to either look at or feed, they had zebras, kangaroos, monkeys, tigers, lions, crocodiles,wolves, snakes, marmasets, camals,penguins, otters, meerkats & a lot more animals, they have about a dozen play areas for youngsters to play on,also they have gift shops there & they also have a big separate building where u can buy lunch of all kinds & u can drink in there of all sorts, I loved it so much there I definitely want to go back there soon,

Amazing day. Great for all ages. Not too busy even though it was a hot Sunny Sunday. Have a great day there. All the staff very friendly and helpful.

They completely messed me around with opening times. What they don't advertise or barely advertise is that last entrance to see the animals is 3pm. Also animals are away by 4pm but even if you come at 3:30pm it is too late. And they leave wrong info on Google like 6pm close is misleading and even wrong. They told me they close at 5pm. Actually last entrance at 3pm. Big waste of time. And they often don't give this crucial info on the phone even when calling beforehand to check.

Plenty to do for little ones, very good viewing areas for all animals. Lion enclosure is amazing.

The park itself is inviting and enjoyable except when we visited as a family the tiger enclosure was closed.

Overall a nice day

Some amazing creatures including snow leopards and pandas.

Well looked after wildlife park some new enclosures for the animals and you can see them. Staff very friendly and helpful. There is a small paddling pool for younger children which is nice on warm day and the speedway museum was interesting.

Nice place great for kids and family...nice selection animals...good price

Beautiful animals, great for little kids but older kids got bored quite quickly.

I took my wife to Paradise Wildlife Park yesterday for a Feed the Red Pandas experience and we had a great time. Feeding the cute Red Pandas was a great experience and the day as a whole was great. The bird shows were good and about the right length plus I was able to get some great photos!

The park has a wide variety of animals on show including plenty of birds which is good as my wife likes birds of prey. The Woodland Walk area seemed a little bare though and seems to be a misuse of space if you ask me but, hey, I'm no expert.

I really enjoyed this place. Lots of species, well planned layout although sometimes a bit crowded. But good place to visit. Especially for families with kids!

It was a good day out for all the family abit expensive for the amount of animals on show but you could see all the money is spent on the animals was very clean and we'll kept....deffo recommend to others

Lovely well kept zoo, we always go once a year with family (three generations) and always love it

I had a great day out when I visited Paradise Wildlife Park. There was a great variety of animals and I loved seeing the white lions and white tigers as I hadn't seen them at any of the zoos I've been to before.
I liked that you are able to get up close to the animals when they're in the enclosures and get a really good look at them. I was able to take some amazing photos of the animals there.
I didn't use the food facilities whilst there, but I liked the look of the small treetop cafe, as you can enjoy a view of the tigers whilst having some lunch.
I had an awesome time and couldn't stop talking about it to everyone afterwards and recommending it to them. My brother is going there soon to participate in a red panda feed and I'm hoping to do an animal experience myself at some point in the year and visit the wildlife park again soon :)

We have visited a few times with a really enjoyable day out and make a point of coming every year amazing to get a good close up of the animals plenty for the young ones to do nice friendly atmosphere good value for money we love it

A lot of caged animals. Leopard pacing around its pen in a manic trot was depressing. Watching tigers snooze from cafe was cool. The 4 lions were impressive but the enclosures just cant be big enough. Pitched to under 6 year olds but they cant grasp the enormity of range of animals. And the joy of interacting with passive aggressive parents who should behave better in a public space

We visit all the time and love it here very friendly staff great fun for the kiddies and the new lion enclosure is amazing

Fantastic Wildlife Park with amazing dinosaurs section. My kids loved it and definitely recommend it.

Another lovely day with friends in spite of the rain! We did crazy golf, soft play and the dinosaur train which we always enjoy.

Amazing place with equally amazing and knowledgeable staff !!!!! Great day out for all ages xx

I visited Paradise Wildlife Park as my birthday experience, I am 71. My daughter and grandson came too.
The first thing I noticed was how everywhere was so clean and free of litter and the animal enclosures were also so clean and their water troughs spotless.
The animals looked so healthy. All the staff we came across were so polite and happy. What more can I say. It pleased me to see such a high standard.
May I also add what a wonderful experience for families with so many exciting things for children to see and do including a paddling pool. One could spend all day there. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Absolutely fantastic. I shadowed a keeper for the day and it was the best experience of my life. I got to see animals up close and personal that I would normally only glance at as I made my way to the big cats etc. It poured with rain but nothing could beat standing in a thunderstorm feeding a lemur on my shoulder! The keepers were very knowledgeable and so nice to me and a big to them all. Thanks for a wonderful day.

Lovely, but pricey zoo. Rest of the area felt a little run-down, but could easily spend a day there.

Some of these comments are so far apart while 98% say Excellent what do the other 2% see ? Ive been there a lot of times and it is a great day out for all !!

Very good for big cats. Loved the new lion enclosure since going last time.

Fun filled day with the family. So much to see and do loads of entertainment. Great staff

amazing place for the whole family. we have been to many zoos & i say this one is far the best one Honestly...

The animals was good and a good zoo but we had to pay for a train that barely went anywhere but the zoo part of it was good

Loved the animals but feel like they need more space to roam and time away from noisy children and people

Love this place. Been going here since I was a kid now taken my kids. It's changed and got so much bigger through the years. Animals always seem at ease. Food on site and good parking. Prices to get in are well worth it, cheaper than most zoos but offer just as good as a day out

We had an amazing time at the park today. Especially the informative and super funny tiger talk by the gentleman of the tiger team was really great. For this talk alone it was definitely worth it!

We had a fab day out here. There's so much to see and do kept the kids entertained for hours. The pool is also a great bonus.
Would certainly recommend and be going again.

Great place to visit. Plenty of controls for so ial distanceing in place that doesn't spoil the experience too much. Lots to do for the kids. Only 4stats as they are still upgrading stuff so will have to visit again when they are all done to see if we can go to 5

Great wildlife park especially fun for families. Lots to see and do including the animals, children's play area and don't forget the dinosaurs. Well worth a visit, the kids will love it. Our visit was pre-covid.

Its just ok. We done it in an hour and a half and went round again. Food and drink massively overpriced!

As a family we love PWP the yearly membership is definitely worth it and we can end up going 3 times a week during school holidays!
My son wants to be a zoo keeper so loves looking at all of the different animals. The new dinosaur section is brilliant too and is included in entry price.
I have found all staff and keepers to be friendly and extremely helpful.
Food can be a little expensive as with all tourist attractions.

Wonderful place for kids.... the Lion was the hero of the show..

A great place to visit and would highly recommend the annual pass if you live locally as it is fantastic for all ages and after school play also. The animals are very well kept and my youngest enjoys the dinosaur exhibition lots. Unfortunately he has purchased nearly everything from the gift store and is now dinosaur obsessed

Whats more to say it's a fantastic place the animals are well kept and the dinosaurs were great the staff are amazing and the food is good also so much for the kids

Absolutely brilliant day, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially feeding rocky the Tiger, an experience made even better by Lynn, one of the big cat staff. Her obvious love for the animals and insight into the everyday running of the cats and wolves made a fantastic day even better. All the staff were cheerful and helpful, we plan to return soon.

Would definately recommend this place! So much to do, animals, dinosaurs outdoor/indoor play, splash world. We didn't even get to cover everything in the day. Quite pricey to get it but well worth a visit

Too expensive for what's on offer
The place is too expensive and you can't see any of the animals properly. Don't be deceived by the advert saying there's more than 500 animals. You'll be lucky if you hardly see any. The food is not that great either. The only area that was good was the dinosaur park. Absolute waste of money!!

Seemed to be a lot less animals there than previously when visited, still a good day out but expensive for what is there.

Love this place. Great new walking with dinosaurs attraction.

Managed to walk round the whole park in 2 and half hours. There were lots of animals to see and most were out even in the rain. :)

Very child friendly and disabled accesable.
Love the viewing platforms so you can see the big cats clearer. We have been coming here for 13 years one of my favourite zoos to visit. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful place to visit. There is something for every age.

brilliant It s mostly glass so it really feels like you re close to them. They loved the dinosaurs, had a great time interacting with them and pretending to run from them

We loved paradise wildlife park, the new dinosaur park is great my daughter loved it, and with a outdoor pool so the kids can cool down after a long walk looking at the animals

Brilliant place to take the young ones. Highly recommended. Will be returning.

Was a bit disappointed when we went last week as I didn t feel there was much to see and it seemed to be aimed at just children. However I ve realised a lot was closed and the tiger land opens soon which looks amazing. The best part of the trip was seeing the lions which was breathe taking. It s lovely to have a place like this which is walkable distance from home. It definitely is an asset to the area, just a shame didn t seem like there was much to see at the time. Would definitely return to see the tigers.

It was an amazing day, felt safe, staff all helpful, all the animals looked so relaxed, happy and contented, healthy.

Animals looked well cared for. I thought the animal enclosures were very small. Lunch was good and a reasonable price. Plenty of free parking

Brilliant day out for all the family with plenty of feeds and talks throughout the day.

Great collection of animals in a relatively small site. Good viewing conditions including elevated walkways, and a cafe overlooking the Amur tigers. Lots of parking. Plenty of cover in case of showers.

Visited on Easter Monday, fortunate to have great weather. We loved the compact arrangement, could see and do lots in the day without feeling exhausted even though it was very warm. Kids loved the dinosaur section, which which had the most non-human movement and sound.
The big cats were all asleep, but then they don't have to hunt for food and have probably exhausted all conversation over breakfast, so can't blame them.
The stage shows were a nice break.
Restaurant is decent.
