We visited recently for my daughter’s second birthday and also had our 11 year old with us and we had a fantastic day.

The animal walk was really well laid out and a lot of the glass came down to floor level to allow the little one easy viewing.

We spent a lot of time in the water park due to it being a hot day, was a lovely way for the kids to keep cool.

The rides we great, our little one especially loved the flying cheetah ride.

The grounds are clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful.

If we lived closer we would have loved a season ticket, sadly it isn’t practical with a long drive there and back. Having said this, we will be back!

I am not on here to knock the park. It was my own fault I didn`t look clearly at the animals that were here. I assumed it was a zoo! Booked for my husband as it was his birthday. We arrived early only to see 5 coaches. Thought it would be quieter as a Monday. This is clearly a place for children. We enjoyed looking at some of the animals but were done in 1.5 hours. Yes, we would have spent longer with children but for ourselves there was very little. The Explorer`s cafe was ok but we just had a snack and drink.Luckily we were heading off somewhere else to stay so visited Chartwell. I would not have been so happy travelling 2 hours to spend 1.5 hours there! Great for children not for adults. Very overpriced for 2 seniors even. More expensive than Hever castle which was beautiful.Luckily, we used Tesco points!!

We were there in the of season so it was quite quiet and some of the concessions were closed but all the animals looked well looked after, we saw goats nails getting clipped and the flamingo pond being jet washed!! It was great!!! Wheelchair accessible, including the train!

Dated and, even though the ticket is already expensive, you still have to pay for some rides and some extras once you are inside

Went for the day with my son and we had a fab day, this really is a lovely kids zoo with absolutely loads to see and do. Food prices are good as well, which meant we was well fed as well. Would highly recommend 👍🏻🦍🦓🦒

Had an absolutely brilliant day at Drusillas today for our one years olds birthday. The zoo has so much to do that you can comfortably spend a whole day there and we did! Being a Tuesday during term time, the zoo was quite quiet so we had play areas and the water park bit to ourselves for a while. The zoo is so clean and tidy and staff are visible all the time. Chatty and friendly too. We love the zoolympics challenges and all the talking animatronics! Considering membership as I know we’d live in the water play section all summer. Fennec foxes, the gibbons and the giant anteater are our faves!

We spent my daughter's 10th birthday in the very capable hands of Sam and Jess, both exceptional in their care and knowledge of the animals. The day ran so smoothly with particular highlights being able to feed the sloth, lemurs and having a flat tailed gerbil names after my daughter - Layla pancake..! I cannot recommend this experience enough.. it's absolutely amazing and totally worth the money. I would have no hesitation in sending all my friends and family to drusillas - you made a 10 year olds birthday very special!

Great for younger children, splash pad is good, getting expensive to get in at £19.95 for a 2 year old.

At first I hesitated about going on this trip because I never heard of Drusillas Park. Once I did some research on it, we planned to go from London to Drusillas Park. The journey trip was not so bad as less traffic early morning, arrived there and greeted with a lovely smile by staff. We showed our online tickets which is cheaper than paying at the entrance. There's toilet nearby for guests before going inside.

Once we entered inside, there's a lot of animals, it's not the same as the zoo. It's different kind of species. I paid £1 for my son to feed colourful birds which I forgot the name of it. He enjoyed feeding them.

Once the animal tour is over, we went to have lunch at a cafe. We had vegetarian burger meal which is nice. It's expensive but worth it because it fill us up. There's plenty benches outside to sit and eat near the park.

We went to the park and played for a while and allow kids to relax, we then went to splash park which kids loved. They enjoyed themselves there. Bear in mind the water is very cold. Luckily for us we went during hot weather time.

There was a mini funfair rides and fun maze. Kids had a lot of fun, even us adults enjoyed it. Went on few rides at the same place. There was a mini train ride around the park, it was nice ride. The best thing is they accommodate disabled wheelchair to join the train ride and the funfair rides. It's good to see they are able to enjoy themselves as we did.

There's paid activities for kids to do as well as shops, mini bar, cafes. My kids went for bouncing slide and they loved it, we paid 8 bands for £5 each slides. So basically it's 8 rides each slide. My son wanted fake tattoos, so we had it done for him. I paid about £4 for a tattoo. I'm amazed it lasted for 1 week and half. It was still on his arm.

The trip ended with a happy family smiles all rounds. It was a good trip definitely recommend it. Thumbs up.

A nice family park, but overpriced.

Has a small zoo, used to have Thomas the tank rio way, but now gone, a play area, hello kitty land with approx 3 rides?
A indoor soft play, that is difficult to get a table at.
A fun maze, a kids water areas, does seasonal events, which are normally dragging out a mascot for photographs.

We used to have annual passes, but the park is very same year no doesn't really mix it up a lot, so we did not renew.

They are trying to update it with the hello kitty rides and whatever they are doing to the train line but it is more for smaller children I'd say and my boy is now 10.

So if you have little ones and an annual pass it's worth going too, but for the daily prices go elsewhere.

It's a great day out with the kids, but it feels that there's more efforts on the rides than on the animals. But I'll definitely going back as my kids absolutely love it there.

Great park with zoo animals and farm animals plus pets and rides. A small train ride, splash pad so remember the wet clothes and a towel! Big play parks with slides for all ages. Soft play in one of the restaurants. Animals are fed at times like most zoos. You can pet some plus have the parrots land on you and feed them. Great for young kids and older kids. Be warned tho it gets busy in the holidays.

Took the kids to see Paw Patrol and had a great day all round. Long queue to get in but moved quickly, plenty to do, didnt feel ripped off by prices. Left with two tired but happy kids.

This was the best park I have ever visited. We spent five hours here with a toddler. It was wonderfully clean and the rides in Hello Kitty land were excellent. We fed the birds with nectar which was an anazing experience. Staff were helpful. We visited the water park, soft play and adventure playground. So much to do. Very impressed!

My wife got me a Zoo keeper for a day experience for my 40th birthday.

Clare from Drusilla's was really knowledgeable and very easy talk to. She has a clear passion for the park & the animals.

Cannot recommend the Zoo keeper experience enough as you get to interact and handle animals you don't normally see. Especially Marcel the Marmoset!

I treated my boyfriend to the 'close encounter' experience with a sloth for his 32nd birthday. The experience was everything we could have ever wanted and more.

Our guide Charlie was great! He was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the sloths and other animals. He showed us around 'behind the scenes' at the zoo seeing how all the food is prepared for the animals. We then got to spend lots of time up close feeding Sophocles the sloth who was wonderful. It really was the perfect experience for any sloth lover!

Entry to park itself was also included. The majority of exhibits are aimed at young children but the zoo was brilliant for adults and children alike. We had a full day at the park including a picnic lunch in the dedicated picnic area. Overall a fantastic day!

Thank you Charlie and Sophocles!

Out of season when most of extras closed, unsure why they charge full price. Like a ghost town, still a great zoo

It's worth going to this zoo with children, they have a little petting zoo as well. It's much fun for little ones, they have swings and slides and a caffee shop for lunch too. Will go again when my son will be a bit older
