Good value. Well laid out and good selection of animals. Can just wander round or the kids can get involved with different interactive tasks along the way. Small rides, maze, small water park, Hello kitty section all good for small children.

Two grandparents, one daughter-in-law from New Zealand with two very excited children, aged 5 and 3, hit Drusillas on a beautiful sunny day. The queue looked long but we were soon through and in to the zoo, thanks to the very efficient staff at the gate. We found the staff in all parts of the park very helpful and smiley from start to finish. the children loved seeing the animals but were particularly fascinated by all the clever puzzles and inter-active exhibits, which were both fun and informative. Our grandson particularly liked the "Dangerous Animal" in the box! The animals all looked happy and well kept and Grandpa was especially fascinated by the superior looking Emperor Tamarins.
After looking round the zoo, we had lunch, which was so much better than the tawdry fare usually on offer at such attractions. Plenty of healthy options all quickly and efficiently served - much appreciated by the two youngsters, who were keen to get to Get Wet. Here the decibel level rose (!) and we sat comfortably while the children squealed with delight, running in and out of the water jets. Take swimming costumes and towels. When we finally got them out of the water, it was time for a Thomas ride. Sadly Thomas is leaving at the end of this year, but he is to be replaced by something just as exciting.
All pretty exhausted by now and, with ice-creams in hand, we retreated to the car park and home. The overall conclusion was that it was very difficult to find any faults at Drusillas - a brilliant day all round and well worth another visit soon.

We visited yesterday and it was great fun - we have two four year olds and they loved it. Highlight for us was the water play area and the under six climbing and play area. The children also loved the animals - great value. Thank you!!'

enjoyed our day out with the grandchildren, loved the hallo kitty bit always a good day out too. The children always enjoy it

Great for toddlers.

All good except hair braiding in Hello Kitty Land. Dosen't come out of hair - has to be cut out. Painful for child
Other than that, lovely place to visit - lots of lovely animals

Spent the day at Drusillas with family (3 kids, 4 adults) and all had a fantastic time. Something here for everyone with a wide variety of animals, activities and food and drink. Would recommend!

I recently went to Drusillas Park with my nieces and nephews and had a great time!!! There was something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the maze, my nephew loved the Thomas the Tank Engine train (which I secretly loved as well) and my nieces loved the Hello Kitty cars (which I actually loved as well) the animals where great especially the monkeys! So funny!

Visited Drusillas with my wife, 3 children and their Uncle and Aunty and we had a fantastic day!

There is a great variety of animals in the zoo with some that we've never seen before and right from the start there are interactive displays and a stamp collecting book for the children to do as they go around the zoo. What a great idea!
There are also plenty of facts to read as you stroll around the zoo and my son thoroughly enjoyed trying to answer the animal colony questions that are dotted along the paths before lifting the flap to reveal the answer. Once again a lovely touch and educational too!

The Outside play area's are great with plenty of space and lots of things for the children to do. Plus the adults get to have a break too :)

The outside water park looked like lots of fun but we forgot to take the children's costumes. Will remember next time.

The maze was great fun and kept the children entertained. My son wanted to do it again. To finish the day off we went to the hello kitty secret garden which the children loved.

The whole park was very clean and tidy and the staff were happy and smiley. Keep it up.

All in all a fantastic day out for us all. We will be returning some day soon.

Living locally we have invested in an annual membership . We were going so often as the grandchildren love it. The park really does cater for every age group which is great when you have a 2 year old & 7 year old in tow.

There's so much to do and it really keeps the kids interested and occupied. Much of it is educational but the splash pad has been great in the nicer weather and the soft play brilliant when the weather has been typically British! Hello Kitty is a favourite of ours but still nothing beats wandering around the zoo.

The staff are are enthusiastic, fantastic with the kids and seem so happy in their work. A real credit to the management.

We will be renewing our membership...there aren't many attractions that give such good value for money!

My children are 11,5 and 3. This was our first visit, using clubcard vouchers in exchange for tickets. We dont often go on days out like this as my 5 yr old has autism. This park is amazing for helping with things like this. We got an access pass on arrival which meant we could use some of the rides without queues and meltdowns! The staff were great and did anything they could to help. We had a wonderful day out and my children loved it. If going with a child with additional needs, the only thing i would suggest would be going into the visitors info office to get an access pass before queing to get in. We queued for 15 mins to get in, but then had to go back outside the park to get the pass. Luckily i had my mum there to stay with the kids while i did it but if you were on your own it would be a struggle. Overall a great day out and plenty of resting places, even on a busy day in the holidays!

My toddler and I visited on a day when Paw Patrol were also going to be there.

When we arrived we had to queue for 40 minutes. I had brought my tickets on line so do find it odd that there is no gate specifically for pre paid tickets. Surely this would help keep the queuing time down.

The animal enclosures looked nice with plenty of viewing opportunities. The toddler loved the penguins. You can walk through a bat enclosure, a lemur enclosure and a bird section but we didn't as the toddler didn't want to. Hopefully next time.

There is a very large playgroup for kids to play in. It is very large and I lost the toddler a few times. Would be nice if areas were gated in as it is a large space with lots of slides and walkways that is easy to lose your child on. Having said that the toddler loved it. There is also splash area but that was packed so we didn't go in.

We queued for about an hour and 40 minutes for the the toddler to see, hug and have his picture taken with Paw Patrol. Despite the wait we weren't made to feel rushed but you do need to take something to entertain your little ones in the queue as there was no other entertainment unless you let them go off on their own.

The Thomas train was a great success, we went on 3 times. The toddler loved seeing the other Thomas characters and waving at people. It's a shame that Thomas will be leaving soon but hopefully the Safari Train that is replacing it will be as fun for the little ones.

We visited the Hello Kitty area. The toddler loved the car and tea cup ride.

The paddling pool looked nice but the toddler ran past and back to the Thomas train.

I found the park to be clean and tidy despite the amount of people visiting and I found the gift shop to fairly priced on branded items. We did take a picnic so can't comment on the food prices.

All in all a lovely but busy day.

Drusillas has always been a great venue, I took my kids there over 25 years ago and now visiting with our grandchildren - it was good then, it's great now. The venue is first class and extremely well thought out. It's educational and it's fun. There's plenty to see and do, you run out of energy before you run out of things to do!

Congratulations to the proprietors, it really shows you care!

Wow what a place, there is something for everyone here. Staff are really friendly its clean and everything is reasonably priced. We will be back

Visited with 4 & 8 year old. Pre booked tickets which saved money and spead up entry a little. Well run facilities with lots of areas, suggest skipping first bit of Zoo as everyone seemed to go very slow at the beginning. We did many of the Hello Kitty rides at lunchtime as no queues at all bit even later they weren't too bad. Overall very good and we much. Preferred here over Peppa Pig world. Well worth a visit

My husband adopted me an otter here at Christmas which has been a good reason to visit twice so far this year! It is a lovely day out for children. You don't need to worry about visiting and seeing nothing as at more or less every enclosure you have a good view of the animals. The meerkats, penguins and otters are highlights for us. There are good walk through areas with lemurs and lorikeets. There is an excellent children's playground at the end with water play areas, Thomas train and Hello Kitty ride. The explorer's restaurant is a bit average and we couldn't find anything we fancied eating there but had coffee from the Starbucks hatch instead. Very good day out but bring a picnic.

Two Grandparents + Mum + 3 yr old + 1 yr old on a Sunny hot Saturday; August 2016.

On arrival I was a bit taken back by the entrance fee but was soon proved wrong.

it advertises as a Zoo with children play areas, and I was worried the kids would be bored with the zoo bit. But no ! It is all arranged with kids in mind. Lots of small animals that the kids can get close to and touch some.
I laugh as I watch our 3yr old trying to milk a "cow".
There are no big animals but there is lots of interaction and puzzles and badges and stamp books and buttons and levers and climbing and tunnels to enjoy.

Following the route through the "Farm" we end up at a play area and fast food outlet.
Time to let the kids run riot.
The fast food is worth the price; big chicken breast burger, big chips and big drink; and served fast too. Mmmm.

Through a tunnel (past the obligatory shop) takes you to "Thomas the Tank Engine" railway. Kids loved it - over and over again .... choo choo!
More ice cream and a wander into a play garden for little kiddies; car rides and spinning tea cups and a uppy downy ride thing ! Again couldn't get the kids away.

Then back through the tunnel to the new Water Splash Area - loads of kids (some in their 30s) getting wet and running around. Plenty of seating around the dry edge for parents with towels.

Now the kids were getting tired, so through the tunnel again for a splash in the paddling pool and a listen to an elephant fart ! I kid you not !

More ice cream and back to the car for a sleep on the way home.

We arrived at opening time and left at closing time. A couple of areas we simply didnt have time to see, so a return trip is needed.
The kids were so excited and still are when we show them the pictures we took.

All in all - yes a bit pricey at first - but once in you must think - How do they do all this so cheaply ?!

Remember to take a towel - and keep an eye on the kids 'cos they are fast and blend in the crowd.

We have been members at Drusillas for the past three years with our daughter. She just loves going there and it has been great to see her becoming confident in all of the play area's. We go a couple of times a month and the membership is well worth the money.

Every year new things get updated and we're looking forward to 2017 when further investment is being made with new rides coming including a Safari Express Train.

We've eaten in the restaurants and there is a wide range of healthy food for everybody.

You can easily spend a day here and that is why it is great having a membership as if the weather is poor, you can go in the Soft Play Area.

I would like to put on record that the park is always very clean and the staff are always very pleasant.

Keep up the good work!

Best zoo/theme park we"ve visited and we"ve pretty much done them all. Very well thought out. Great zoo. It"s clean, relaxing and super safe for the little ones. What a great day out for all the family. Best suited for younger children (under 10s or so) but has something for everyone. Food is reasonably priced and the toilets are lovely and clean. A fab place. Our two girls really loved it and it was far cheaper than Thorpe Park and Chessington.

We spent all day at Drusillas Park with our grandchildren. They just loved seeing the animals and particularly stamping the little booklet when they spotted the animal. It was fun watching the penguins being fed and the flamingos especially fascinated them. There are many other animals to see which is adding to the education of the children. We had a lovely lunch in the restaurant and afterwards enjoyed the fun rides and the really pretty Hello Kitty gardens with fountains. There is a pool for the children to play in and another fun water area along with climbing facilities and abseiling. A perfect day for all ages of children and adults. We have been before and will certainly will visit again. Janet Stone

Great visit. Went with a two and a four year old. Lots to keep them entertained. Had a lovely time although entrance fee a little expensive.

Visited with 5 year old and my partner, lots to do and see, although busy, it was very easy to get on rides etc. Facilities good, and staff friendly and helpful.

We 💛 Drusillas ....having been members since 2013 our visits have just got better and better. The Park and their staff are always striving to make Drusillas more exciting, more interactive and more educational.

And now we've been treated to a brand new water splash park that was opened this summer - It's Watererrific!!!

Every visit for us is different because as my son grows he finds new things at the park that interests him.
From the animals, the interactive games throughout the park (that are loved whether you're young or old 😉 ..our firm fave is the telephone box!) to Hello Kitty Land, Thomas The Tank Engine train ride, The Outdoor Play Area, Soft Play, Swimming Lagoon etc etc etc...a full day of fun is guaranteed!

We used to take our kids when they were little now 25 years later it is the Grandson. We loved it So much to see and do Bit pricey but I never mind when the animals are well kept and cared for and the investment over the years is obvious to see. Impressed too with the cafe not much waiting, large portions, good menu and good clean area to eat in. Weather permitting a good idea to take swim stuff for kids as the water areas looked very inviting.

Absolutely fantastic for small children, loads for them to do there. Lots of playground options, get up close with the animals, nice paddling pool and mini splash park for when the weather is sunny enough. Lots of activities for the kids. My 7 and 4 year olds loved it.
