Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
As a birthday gift for our 14 year old daughter she had a wonderful time. It was amazing for her to be so close to the pandas and being able to hand feed them. Charlie the keeper was very friendly, informative and helped make it a memorable experience. We all had a great family day out at the park. One thing to note if you have purchased an animal encounter you need to go to the office and then across to the members queue rather than the day vistor queue which will make it so much quicker for your entry.

Good variety of animals, very much geared towards a younger audience but still enjoyable for adults. The animal encounter was fantastic and really interesting to see and learn how the zoo feeds the animals and looks after them on a daily basis.

Good for young kids. Very clean and it looks like the animals are treated very good. It can be really crowded, be there a bit before opening.

Great place for younger kids. Wet park is great on a hot day. Playground has a big climbing frame with different ways to go and slides. A sunken trampoline under cover. And lots more. An indoor soft play.<br>The zoo route is really fun and educational at the same time.<br>Train ride.<br>Hello Kitty rides and a cool hippo and flying cheetah's.<br>Nice indoor self serve restaurant.<br>Outdoor picnic bench area.<br>It's a great day out for the little ones.

We went for the first time today and my 3 kids had a fantastic day. We met friends there and even though there were some rain showers it didn't stop everyone from having a really good time. We will be back soon that's for sure!

Nice, fairly large zoo with a good variety of animals and activities. However, those visiting with disabled guests should be aware that the zoo charges disabled guests the full amount (20 pounds) and to be allowed in for free as a carer you must provide certain paperwork, else they will refuse and you have to claim the money back later. Quite irritating as other zoos are so accommodating.

Well worth the money allday long. Ended up eating in there and the food was spot on in the Oasis Cafe. My 4yr old was happy as pig in s#@t from start to end.<br>Highly recommend Drucillars to those looking for a good day out.....👍🏻

1 hour queuing to get in is not acceptable. Expensive admission price.<br>Good zoo etc and plenty for the kids to play on etc.

Well kept zoo, animals looked happy with lots of space. Great play areas for the kids up to the age of 12.<br>Cons - could promote the idea of re-use your own cup for hot drinks.

Visited today and arrived around 10.30am and had to queue around 40 minutes to get into park. Only 2 people serving at tills which is obviously not sufficient especially in school holidays. Was thankful for a toilet outside entrance!!!
Once inside we had a great day. Ate in restaurant which was really good. Great service, clean and good portion sizes.
Enjoyed rides and didn't really have to queue and splash pad and adventure playgrounds.
Found zoo interesting and also learnt a few things too. Kids liked stamping there books.
Overall great day just need to have better queuing system to get into park as felt 40 minutes was way too long to wait

I went on the spider phobia course to help with my fear of spiders. The course content was really good and the session helpful. I think if the session was longer I could have got even more from it.
I would recommend this class to anyone trying to get past their fear of spiders as it really helps

Great day for the kids. Good mix of zoo and small theme park with playing area.

Whoever laid out this zoo should get a raise. Usually these places are exhausting and unorganized. This one keeps it interesting with cool ideas like the animal olympics and a massive play area when you are finished with the exhibits.

I have just taken my nephew for his birthday present for a zookeeper experience day and he absolutely loved it and said it was one of his best ever days! We were with Claire who was so lovely and had the patience of an absolute saint. We packed so much into the day - we got the opportunity to feed the meerkats, cuddle some handreared ones, feed the penguins, hand feed the capybara, hold a snake, mice, lizards and much more! We also cleaned some enclosures and got to prepare some food for the animals so he got a real experience of all the different elements. My nephew also got a zookeeper jumper to keep and a certificate which they fill out at the end for you. A great experience which he hopefully won’t forget and lovely for the adult who gets to accompany them as well.

I seldom write reviews, I could probably count the amount I’ve written on one hand.
I was so impressed with Drusillas, it is obviously run/managed by people that know what they are doing. Main point is that it’s a really nice fun day out. Aside from that it’s well structured in that the zoo is choreographed in such a way that you get to see everything in sequence straight from the entrance, almost setting out the first hour or so of the day. I think this is very clever as it helps the dispersion of people meaning less queuing on the rides etc later. It also means kids take in the whole zoo experience.
Plenty of entertainment for young children apart from the zoo. One of the best touches is that the toilets are very clean and have sanitising dispensers in each cubicle...bravo whoever insisted on that as I think it should be a legal requirement in public loos and is very rarely seen.
We revisited the zoo late afternoon, very quiet and all the animals were so active (even the sloth!)
Thanks for a great day.

Bit expensive for entry, particularly as there are things in the park that carry additional cost. Good family fun though - get there early and stay all day to get your money's worth.

Me and my 6 year old son had a brilliant day out today at Drusilla’s Park. So much to do and see and thankfully not to over crowded. A little un happy with the very over priced rides in the picnic area but thankfully there was plenty of free things to go on for me to distract my son with. We arrived at 11am and stayed right up until closing - which was just enough time to do and see everything. The park was clean and tidy with plenty of facilities.

We arrived about 10 30 parking was easy and quickly moved along the queue til we arrived at the front. We booked online so just showed the helpful lady the email on my phone and when in. It's abit crowded at first because so many people are all walking thru the same section but once your thru the first part it gets a little easier to look around we decided to take the short cut and skip some of the zoo and go 2 meet hello kitty do the train ride and have our little girls face painted (£6 for the face painting ) which was a really good idea because it wasn't half as busy as most people were still exploring the zoo. We also did the gift shop and get that out the way loads of cuddly toys and reasonably priced for a zoo. We then took the little one 2 play in the splash play area which she absolutely loved !!! could have stayed there all day if not for the weather being abit chilly . Loads of tables for picnic which we had did see people buying burgers chips ect but as always very expensive. We little one loved meeting hello kitty in her house although she was abit scared. We then went back 2 see the rest of the zoo lovely animals loved the flamingos and otters unfortunately the Lemurs were all asleep when we went thur the walkthur but that's just one of those things not the zoos fault . In all had such a lovely day was expecting it to be so busy and stressful but wasn't at all loads of staff around animals seems happy and only quened 4 about 10mins or less . Will be back thinking of coming either Halloween or Xmas x x x

If you buy online you save some money and the Park is never over crowded.
The experience is very enhanced by The friendly, helpful and kind staff (not all but the majority are so patient and helpful) and you need this type of young staff in a theme park for young children. For me this is the biggest positive point about Drusillas, that is why I travelled 1.5 hrs to visit this park for the third time.
The prices in the park are cheaper than most larger famous theme parks and most rides are free.
Parking wasn't an issue and the facilities were clean.
We were there for 5.5 hours and enjoyed the animals, rides, play grounds and activities and there were still things that we didn't have time to do.
