Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
Great park for little ones, ours are 2 and 4 and it was the perfect mix of rides/animals/play areas with that age range in mind. No where was too far to walk, none of the rides wait was longer than 10mins (we went in the school holidays on a Saturday in nice weather....if ever it would be busy I'm assuming that would have been the perfect storm).
The food was very "theme park" but they did do an ok jacket potato which we were happy with. They allow picnics so I would definitely recommend taking one as the food/drinks were more than you would pay buying from a supermarket, but then that's standard these days at these sort of places. Also, try and book online or use tesco Clubcard vouchers if you have them as it can make a massive diff to the entrance price. All in all a really nice day out, pricey but compared to going to chessington or thorpe park etc with children of this age the best pick I feel as they could experience all of it.

A nice day for the kids but not much for teenagers so be aware. The animals look well maintained and plenty of facilities like eating areas etc.<br>Costa coffee on site so caffeine is available readily.

Better than London zoo and better value than that too despite it being not cheap to enter unless you have Tesco vouchers. Great day out. Lots of animals to see and plenty of interaction for all ages. Great playpark and great water park and now even a funfair bit too, all in the entrance fee. There are a few things you can pay for which is a shame as you don’t really need that temptation. Lots of shops. You can take picnics but food is quite reasonable. Indoor playpark too for rainy days. Plenty of parking.

Good variety of animals. Good variety of activities. Some animal challenges broken. Very clean toilets. Food OK, but slightly over priced. Kept the kids amused all day (over 6 hours!).

The animals are great, the kids play areas are perfect. They have indoor, outdoor areas, a wet play park area and then there's the rides totally recommend Drusillas to all families.

It was fabulous- highly recommend it. This was a present for my 10yr old as it was her first double figures birthday and we wanted to do something memorable. Our keeper was knowledgeable and great with Daisy. We cleaned the meerkat enclosure, weighed out food, fed penguins, went through all the behind the scenes bits and held lots of different animals. A lifetime of memories. Not in expensive but very much with it. The food in the restaurant was also a lovely surprise - it was delicious. The personalised badge and zoo keeper for a day polo shirt and pack were a lovely touch.

We recently visited the above as part of a trip to East Sussex.
We all, including our 4 year old daughter, thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Great selection of animals and Hello Kitty World was good. Staff were polite & well organised. Already planning our next visit!

What a brilliant place for all ages. So much to do and see and a whole day isn’t long enough. Lots of rides for little ones and play parks for various ages. Indoor soft play, the farm, zoo, train ride and new wet area. Just brilliant. My only negative is the extra you pay for a few of the attractions. £5 for 8 go’s on a bouncy slide is a lot of money, especially if after the first go, the child decides they don’t like it. It should be charged per go, not as a bulk buy. A big picnic area with a restaurant if you want to buy food. Friendly staff and everything is full of colour. Every child should have a day out here.

Lovely place to visit with young children

I was initally impressed when I went with my wife and 2 young girls (10 and 6) We started off in the Safari Park which was fun and exciting for the kids and us. From there the experience went downhill. The brochure said that there was a small extra charge for some rides/experiences but the "small" charge turned out to be £5 per ticket with a deal on purchasing multiple tickets. I counted 6 things all around the dining area that had this charge including, bizzarely, a sand pit with buried bones????? Later on I dropped our bags we had been carrying into a locker room. Again £1 charge with no refund when you returned. It also took an extra £1 for no apparent reason but there were no staff nearby to complain to. The zoo area was good. But they had free books to record the animals and a notice on the wall saying pencils were on sale in the shop... The local taxis were in on it too charging us £12 to get to the station a mere 1.2 miles away (2 minute journey) The girls enjoyed it and on the whole it was a good theme park with fairly decent food (Explorers Restaurant - not the Oasis) but I cant help feeling a bit ripped off. This is not what I wanted to focus on and I know they cost a lot to run. Just BE HONEST on the brochure and provide free little pencils. JC

Worth visiting here if you have young children. I have a5 year old and a 1 year old and there was something for both.. They both loved the Hello Kitty theme part and even got to meet her in the meet and greet. Queues are very reasonable unlike the main stream theme parks. The zoo was larger than i thought it would be but kept the kids interested by filling in a stamp book of what animals they could find.
There are parts to pay extra like a huge slide, gold mine rush etc. But plenty of other activities available included in the entrance fee.

We went to Drusilla's with our toddler and had a wonderful time. Everything is very close together, the animals are in well maintained displays and seem to be happy and there is just so much to do for children. We can recommend the child Olympics, but don't forget to visit the play area, the water park and Hello Kitty garden if you have a small child. Good for one whole day of fun.

Our kids aged 6,3 and 7months baby, loved it as did mum and dad....not too big nor small , good range of animals, great rides, not much qeueing, as in other theme parks, old kids (teenagers would get bored though I think -rides are basic aimed at younger kids)
Make sure Tesco vouchers used and you'll love it
Just bear in mind though food is expensive and of small portion size, though parking is free ...happy days!

Absolutely brilliant place to spend a day, lots of Animals to go around observing, lots of little "did you know" and various educational info points. Also in addition to the Zoo there is the water park and the various rides for kids to go on. Very Clean and Tidy. Recommended for a day visit and also recommend utilising the yearly membership for those with kids, great alternative to soft play centre, especially in the summer.
