Pleased overall and had a good time. Animals looked happy enough and grandson enjoyed the rides. Food was reasonably priced and well cooked, though it could have been hotter. Fish and chips was 8.50, adult with child's sausage and chips around a fiver. Staff all helpful. Only gave it 4 because it had a slightly half-open feel, with food outlets and other bits being closed, but it is still March... I think we may well return.

Awesome for families with children 2-12 years old. A good mix of wildlife, animal welfare information, rides, softplay, walking path, animal feeding. Will go again for sure. My son 2 year old could do some of the rides (accompanied by an adult) and loved the Go Bananas play area. It's location is perfect. Most parents will be tired by then, so we can rest and recharge, while the kids and continue their monkey business!!

Whilst the entrance fee is pretty steep if you take out an annual membership it will save you loads and I would highly recommend this as Christmas Gift for Grand kids it will give them a whole years fun and by fun I mean loads of it from the animals to the play areas and the rides it really is a fantastic day out

Had a lovely day out for my 40th birthday, I booked a meet the sloth experience and wasn't disappointed, was lovely to feed them as they climbed all around you, it was really informative and I had lots of time with them. The Zoo was very well thought out, amazing play areas for kids and even though it was chilly as you could view both the indoor and outdoor enclosures you could see all the animals.

Had a fantastic day out with my 2 year old. The animals are clearly well cared for and the whole experience was great. Soft play was a huge hit and the rides were suitable for all ages. Can't wait to visit again!

Great little zoo/theme park for the younger kids.....toddlers to 10 year olds I'd say... food prices little over the top as with most places like this and some rides you have to pay extra to go on.

Great day out with the family. Most of the park is clean and looks well looked after. Staff were friendly and helpful. Train was not working in the morning but they managed to get up and running in the afternoon. Food options not the best. Take a packed lunch and go midweek if poss.

Lovely place especially for young children. You can get quite close to the animals. Loved the hat enclosure.

This was a lovely day trip, really loved the park.. my young children had so much fun, we didn't eat the food as we took a picnic. picnic area was a good size as well, my only grumble was its very pricey to get in off peak, I wish it was cheaper, as we would definitely come here more often!

It's a pretty good place to come for people of all ages . Food is very tasty with a great choice plus the price is fare . Just wish some of the animals had more space .

Such a wonderful place for adults and children. All worth the price of entrance as they have so many wonderful animals to look after. All the staff are so kind and helpful.

Firstly if you live locally, I highly recommend getting an annual pass. It's such value for money and I regularly take my nearly 2 year old free of charge due to the pass. Drusillas are set up for families who want a day out but have children of various ages and also want to make it a relatively cheap day out, providing benches, high chairs and picnic areas to have a packed lunch.
As an adult that visited Drusillas as a child myself, some areas are a little dated however the park area is by far the best in the area. The under 5s area is a rarity and the 'Cheetah' ride is my daughter's favourite!
There are a few animals which have lovely large enclosures but there are some which do look a little small or not overly stimulating for the animals however all are set up for easy viewing for toddlers.

We’ve just visited Drusillas (last visit 17 years ago!) with 3 year old twin boys. Being out of season it was queue free and peaceful. It was also eye wateringly expensive, (just short of £80) for the age group that we took-a reduced rate for pre-schoolers would be very welcome-as, they don’t have the stamina to spend a whole day there neither can they use most of the rides.

Drusillas is incredibly well laid out, with something to see at every twist and turn, it’s interactive approach was most welcomed by our two boys. However inevitably there are all the little extra “machine rides” there familiar characters and bright colours so instantly attractive to 3 year olds, a ride here and there - soon adding to the initial cost.

The boys loved the bats, farm and smaller animals - the penguins and otters a huge hit. Being out of season we could move at their pace. From an adult perspective I was saddened to see the size of the enclosures for some of the animals, I have no doubt Drusillas meets basic UK requirements for housing wild animals, none the less watching the Servals pacing round and round a small, well worn track was sobering and thought provoking.

The play areas following the Zoo were fabulous, although the area specifically for under 6?? (?12) was fairly compact, out of season this posed no issue, however summer months I should imagine you are packed in like sardines.

The small train ride was loved by all.

Of the 3 cafes, one was closed. We ate at the Amazon adventure cafe complete with soft play. The sandwiches are uninspiring, cheap ingredients and with a generous mark up. My first sandwich was returned, the bread being hard and stale. The second attempt was marginally better, with of one the two halves being edible. The cheese and tomato toasty - shared by the boys had one thin slice of tomato in it.

Toilets needed cleaning-a regular checking roar would minimise soiled toilets, sanitary products on the floor and would ensure that soap dispensers all contained soap.

Staff were universally friendly and approachable . The setting is just glorious.

As I said at the beginning-a little more attention to detail and this would be truly excellent.

It was a really great experience feeding a Linnie's Two Toed Sloth and to speak to a keeper who is as knowledgeable about sloths as me.
