Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
The car park was well organised with clearly marked out bays and staff to facilitate. The ticket queue was long. We arrived at 10.30am and queued for 50 minutes. This was the only disappointing thing. There could have been another till to speed things up a bit. The Tesco voucher offer of £3 for every £1 voucher was great value for money. We covered our £60 entrance fee for a family of 3 with £20 vouchers by applying online via cub card website.
The park was enjoyable. The animals in the zoo were all very healthy and larger specimens thane have seen in other zoos. There was educational interaction for our 7 year old daughter. The zoo keepers answered any questions we had about the animals.
The play area was fun. She enjoyed all the rides including Hello Kitty car and tea cups. She enjoyed the flying hippo ( similar to magic carpet ride at Chessington) and the flying cheetah. We paid £5 for the large bouncy slide and she had the opportunity to use it many times although she stopped after 3 goes.
The train ride was about 5 minutes and we queued for 10 minutes to get on. Im undecided if it was worth the wait for the train.
We brought our own picnic and there was ample seating. We did try the coffee and fresh doughnuts which were tasty.
We recommend Drusillas park for families with younger children. Its friendly and fun.

Went with my children for my daughter's birthday present, a close encounter with a sloth. We had a great time, plenty food places. Howeve especially the inside area immediately after the entrance smelled very strong of urine. The price for the sloth encounter was high considering they children were only able to feed the sloth and give it a brief stroke.

Not bad at all aimed more at kids rather than older kids and adults

We visited as a Wedding Anniversary present and had "Close Encounters" with Lemurs and the Sloth. The staff were friendly and helpful and made our experience enjoyable. Lots of things to keep young children amused.

Nicely laid out park easy to walk around. Grandkids enjoyed it. Didn't eat here as queues to long and food didn't look appetising anyway.
Felt bit sorry for some of the animals that looked miserable in small enclosures. Rides ok but the cup and saucer ride went round twice then it was stopped. Ridiculous it lasted all of 20 seconds ! Children enjoyed the train ride around the park and meet with pepper pig.
Didn't wait too long for rides so wasn't too bad waiting. However I do think this place is very overpriced it cost £82 for two adults and two children aged 7 and 4 .
Also you have to pay extra to get a wrist band to go on the big inflatable slide. I felt this was a bit strong considering what we had paid to get in!
On way out was given some £10 discount vouchers if we revisit before 31st Dec. If they can afford to discount price for a family of 4 to £40 approx, that's all it's worth really anyway. So feels like a bit of a con to me.

Never a bad visit! Use Tesco vouchers, otherwise it feels a bit pricey.

Really enjoyed my day lots to see and do

I went with low expectations due to other online reviews, but despite the entrance price, I was pleasantly surprised my 2 children 3 & 6 had a smashing time. The Zoo part was fun with lots of interactive puzzles and features, the Merecat tunnel was great and the rides at the end made for very happy children and a rainy day well spent.

Keeps a young family busy all day without children getting bored or loosing interest. Train rides, animals, books to find the animals, water play if hot, soft play if wet, chance to feed animals, rides, adventure play ground,free parking and I've probably missed bits.
Love it!
Love it!

Didn't think I would enjoy this zoo, sounded more of a attraction for younger children. It is definitely aimed for young children but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The zoo path was easy to follow and made sure you didn't miss any of the animals. Couple of the animals I had never seen before or at least not so active (Ant-Eater and Rock Hyraxe) You can easily miss out the children's play areas if you don't have young children. Although I have to say the children there were clearly enjoying every minute. Very impressed and surprised, would recommend.

Ideal place for school age. My guys really had a good time. My niece who is 2 couldn't really do much. Food and ice creams are surprisingly not overpriced

We visited in July 2018 and really enjoyed our day. Four of us, two over 60’s, one older teen and an eight year old. All four of us had a good time. There is plenty for children to do and enough for older people too. The food served in the cafe was good quality, good portions and reasonably priced, which isn’t always the case when places have a captive audience. We visited just prior to the English school holidays so it wasn’t to busy. Would definitely recommend for a family day out.

Visited during the school holidays, the line to get in is pretty awful. Once past the entrance gates, you enter the zoo straight away and where everyone is all huddled in together its a struggle to see the animals and so hot. But once past this section, the zoo flows lovely. We visited with 3 adults and a 15 year old, and easily spent 3-4 hours in the park. Has alot more on offer for young children but still a nice little zoo for any age. Just probably suggest arriving as it opens to avoid the rush!
