A great day out! Loads and loads to do - there were some sizeable bits that we didn't touch, despite it being quite quiet and us not leaving until just a few minutes before they closed the car park at the end of the day.<br><br>Only loses a star because it was quite expensive - £80 for the family of four to enter, plus £35 for lunch (burgers and chips, essentially).<br><br>There were some things that were excessively expensive - the storage lockers are £1 to use (not a deposit - when you open the locker it keeps the pound, so if you lock it and realise that you need something, that's a quid gone right away).<br><br>The penguin slide is also £5 per go. Per go! Literally, kid goes up, comes down and that's a fiver gone (there are discounts for bulk-buying tickets but, come on!) We went to the Fun Fort the day before and they have a comparable slide that's just part of the entrance fee and you can go on over and over.<br><br>So, a lost star for everything being a touch more expensive than felt necessary. We had a fun day though - the weather was fantastic, there was lots to do and the staff were great and friendly to the kids. Swallow the cost and give it a go.

Wonderful day out for the family. Lots of animals to see, so many activities and great rides for the kids to enjoy. A special thanks to Malcolm and his team in the explorers cafe who went above and beyond to cater for my son who has multiple food allergies. We had a lovely day and look forward to our next visit!

As a member and frequent visitor to chester zoo in groups of adults only I was prepared to be undrwhelmed when my sister and I decided to take a trip down memory lane our last visit was 20 years ago, well wow!!! The only thing I recognised was the train and the copycat parrot the enclosures are both sympathetic to visitors and the animals and what a variety they have, can't comment on the play areas as we are both over 40 but had a fantastic day thank you

Great fun for children. Impressed with the zoo area - my son especially enjoyed doing the zoo Olympic s on our way round. Animals look well cared for and maintained. Best part on a hot day was the splash park. Very impressed with the salad bar in the restaurant too - lots of choice and delicious food.

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.

Great time with my daughter. Great animals and rides which were really good fun. Friendly staff and she loved the train

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.
