Paradise Wildlife Park Reviews

If you want a place that will provide fun the whole day this is it. There are animals to see and feed, bouncy slide, playground, little train ride and woodland walk

An excellent small zoo. We went on the Big Cat Experience; reviews we're concerning for the welfare of the cats, but the zoo clearly look after their animals. Considering a ranger day at their breeding centre in Kent.

Some Animal and reptiles not there building works going on round at the tiger enclosure making tigers seem so far away , and hope you have deep pockets if you plan on making a visit here cos food is really expensive here tbh the views of the Animals you can see you can get very close to them oh it's great for kids lots of play parks for them to enjoy while you eat

Had a great time that the park my kids loved it and even when I locked my keys in the car a member of staff named Steve came to my rescue he even made a tool to help ... BEST PLACE FOR KIDS EVER

Confusing to go around .nice what we saw. Rediculously expensive food

I really enjoyed and relax my self there because every thing is natural

Fantastic day out for any age who like animals. The otters and meerkats seem to love their enclosures and they are well laid out to get a good look. The whole zoo seems well kept. The hidden gem is the bird shows. They aren't as professional as what I saw at Warwick castle for example but still very entertaining. The only thing I wasn't much interested by was the dinosaur part as I grew out of plastic dinosaurs years ago and would much rather see living animals than so much space used up. I felt sorry for the wolves as they are right next to the quickly irritating dinosaur sounds that are on repeat all day every day.

Excellent day for whole family. Lots to see and do. Dinasour park very well done we loved it.

Great day out, our grandchildren loved the whole experience, would definitely recommend it to anyone

Amazing place and great work done for the future generations. Thanks to the team paradise

The Dino world is must see for the children... . Best around

Great place to visit well worth going great place for children and families

Fantastic day out. Great dinosaur park plenty of places to eat. My grandson is 3 and loved the whole day. The soft play and splash pool are very good . We will return soon.. ps...never spent much time in the zoo will discover on our next visit..

Awesome place we spent a good afternoon
The park is amazing

Had a feed the red panda experience as a birthday gift. Absolutely loved it. Staff member very knowledgeable and made sure I had the exact amount of time in the enclosure. Would recommend.

Went to feed the wolves experience with my daughter, brilliant experience Pia the wolf guide was a font of knowledge and experience in this we had a long time to see the European and Norwegian wolves very close up.
The park was a great eye opener to others that seem closed off she enclosures were quite open and you felt you could go very close to the animals . There was a platform for the lions and penguins so you could Watch them loved it I think it is the only animal park apart from one other in Bedford you felt very close to the animals and got a real feel for the size and smell of them the fruit bat enclosure was unique and unusual I was expecting a dark place but they were up in the rafters which was amusing to see them looking at us. Great day out would recommend it.

We love this place, always visit if we're in the area.

A great day out with a good selection of large cats, a little pricey when compared in size to some of the larger zoo's but still a great place.

Fantastic place..beautiful animals kept well and lovely play areas for the children..lots of food outlets that are not too expensive..only gripe is the coffee is awful!

Great place for. Your little ones if they like animals and dinosaurs. You could get quite close to the animals. Our favourite were the meerkats. I not for animals in captivity but I guess they are safer than they would be in the wild with the current sad state of affairs.

Very well set out and loads of things to do. The dinosaur park is a great addition.

We go here once a week as we have a membership card. Great place for kids and adults. However, the food is abysmal and frankly disgusting and very expensive for what it is, this includes the main restaurant and cafe in the soft play area.

Really nice place to spend a day, no matter if you are an adult or a child. Dinos, wild animals, farm, birds, picnic places, playgrounds.... i highly recommend

Brilliant day out well worth the money, very happy employees, my boy loved it

Went with my grandchildren they were disappointed that the tiger s were not there. Other than that we had a lovely day.Had lunch there which was served quickly and was very nice

Dinosaur park is really impressive! Animals are good, but my son loves the play area and pirate ship best!

Pretty expensive for what it is. Been to better, cheaper zoos - got plenty to look at though!

Great time with 3yo. She didn't want to leave. Friendly helpful staff and considering it's a zoo, not too expensive either.

Beautiful place no hills but disappointing as s lot of work been done and birds not out .. didn't see many animals which is a real shame

Excellent wildlife park. Perfect for children to visit. Do not miss the White Lions.

Fantastic place for the family adults and kids alike. Lots to do and see

Really lovely little zoo, lots of interesting animals who all have great enclosures. Lots of talks and feeding times. We did an experience with the Tapirs and found it very informative and fun.

It's a great place for all ages. So much to see and do.

The kids loved it. Lots to see but beware some of the animals may be asleep or hidden when visiting

Great day out with the family. A lot of new work carried out since our last visit a year ago.

Really good experience, great Dinosaur Park, and fantastic big cats, and great variety of animals. Not super cheap, but average now.

An excellent day out. A wide range of animals (including dinosaurs (!), lions, piranhas and meer cats) in an accessible and pleasant environment. There is also a wedding shop and a speedway motorcycle museum, which is obviously a massive bonus...

Nice little park, gives the closest experience to the safaris. kids loved it

Absolutely brilliant! I went on father's day and had a nice unplanned surprise by being free to enter. The first thing we visited was the dino park and I was really surprised with the hospitality of the staff and the overall experience in the dino walk. Very good, real looking animatronics. We then went for the rex train where you pay extra, which I wouldn't have liked on any other day, but the discount at the gate soften the blow. They have multiple children playing areas with different levels of wear and tear, but the kids love it. They are in a constant update of enclosures and activities. The animals look very well looked after and the park is spotless. Highly recommended for a family day out. 5 stars aren't enough.

The dinosaur section and the playground was good for my son however I felt the animals didn't have enough space, they tried to cran as many animals in as possible in what space they have, I felt sorry for them. Maybe it's because we went to Whipsnade before this some months back where the animals have tonnes of space in comparison.

Absolutely amazing place to visit with family. Our son saw all the animals, enjoyed dinosaur trial and all playground facilities. There is a one way system which is perfect, but some people are not smart enough to follow it unfortunately, so better come early morning as we did and enjoy this place when its quiet and all facilities are only for you.
Highly recommend as we have been to 2 other zoos after lockdown and paradise Park is the only one which I would say worth visiting and you won't regret.

Beautiful place, so plenty to see and do, the all animals in a great shape, professional and polite staff.

The wildlife park is ok but when compared to other places like Colchester Zoo which has a lot more to see and do with big enclosures isn t that much more to get in it makes this hard to recommend just off price alone.

If your local and don t want to go far then this is a benefit but again in terms of things to do and see I would suggest other places for the same money.

I went during the dinosaur exhibit/display and this was good and of high quality but when going to other places in the park they felt old and in need of updating animals where kept in quite small enclosures which was good because you could get close but the viewing areas where very crowded. Again some good and bad.

Had an amazing time when me an my girlfriend went down on Sunday
Absolutely fantastic experience meeting and feeding the meerkats, being able to feed other animals like the pigs, goats and alpacas, getting so close to all the big cat is like nothing I've ever had at any other zoo

Lovely little place to visit. My children particularly liked the dinosaurs & play parks. There are a limited amount of other animals but was wonderful to see the lions so up close. We visited at the start of November so Covid restrictions in place but felt safe & well organised.

I had a lovely time at PWP. It was a really nice day out with a large variety of animals to look at. It has good accessibility for disabled people and also has signs showing the sign language for the animals! It was very informative! There are also lots of interactive bits for children to play with! I pretended to be a meerkat and it was lots of fun! Strongly recommended!

What a fantastic day out!
So many animals to see The zoo was laid out well and had a good one way system in place. The staff were all so helpful.

The dinosaurs were a good laugh, specially loved the car and the dinosaur, got some great photos.

The best part was our 3.00 feeding the meerkats, I booked this for my husband as a late bday present, it was BRILLIANT! We got up and personalised with the sweet meerkats.. they were climbing on us and everything. Claire the woman who accompanied us on the meerkat experience was very good, she told us alot of information about meerkats.
Highly recommend coming here!

A good day out but far too expensive and some of the enclosure's for the big cats are far too small.

Great wildlife park. You can easily spend all day here if you have kids. It's got a lot to do.

Wonderful place, clean and well cared for. Met the Meercats, back to have tea with the Tigers soon.

Lots to see n do. Animals seem to be looked after well. Could spend a whole day there.

I loved it here, smaller than many but packed with the good stuff! The dinosaurs were amazing no judgement at grown adults being on the train alone really nice feel and staff were lovely.

great venue for dinosaur lovers and a great zoo too what more could you want

A place people should defernaly bring there family. Staff are pleasant and willing to help and give any Information. A really exciting place for children.

My kids loved it, lots to do for little ones, indoor and outdoor play lots of animals and the dinosaur walk was brilliant.
we did think that the animals have very small enclosures though.. food massively over priced but to be expected.

Very good park, kid's were kept entertained throughout. Limited range of animals in zoo but still excellent. Full scale robotic dinosaur display was excellent also.
Slight negatives were the steep admission fee and the children's playground which could be better.

Basically this is a 4 for the zoo and the dinosaur. Both are great but the rest of the place needs updating.

had a great day out with family at this park. Staff service great, ideal place for kids as they can feed more unusual animals like zebras.
The one thing that sticks in my mind though is the poor raccoons that were pacing back and forth just like you see when the poor animal is going mad through boredom. Please do something for these seemingly forgotten animals as they must be in real distress.

When busy, lack of wide disabled parking spaces is a problem. Even with overflow car parks open.

Tailored to the younger children though.
I'd prefer to go back if they do a SEN day, as it got quite crowded, loud, and we had alot to process. Also had to navigate around alot of people who don't have the need to cater to certain behaviours. So that was added worry. But it was alright though.
Good sized area of dinos. Not a massive variety though. Just the standard selection that everyone knows about.
Well, that could be because I had my extremely knowledgeable, Palentologist child with me. Am used to hearing about so many more dinos than we saw. Maybe they will add more in the months/ years to come. Decent enough day out, just not amazing for fellow dino enthusiast children. They will prob expect to be able to see and do more.
