Drusillas Park

It would have been excellent if we had a better response on arrival. My husband is disabled and had the relevant paperwork with him which allows me as his carer free entry. Unfortunately tickets were bought online so we took said paperwork with us for a refund., which states on the website is easy to obtain. Didn't bother claiming as was quoted £10 admin fee to process, almost half of what we paid. & the queue behind us was getting longer by the minute. Seems excessive amount even if it was our mistake.

Thank you Drusilla's for making it the 'Best' day out for all of us. My son and daughter with their families and my husband and I all enjoyed it. It was wonderful fun for all age groups and our grandchildren absolutely loved it. There was so much to do that we will definitely be back. The rides, the zoo, the adventure play area and the train - all amazing. My best bit was the 'Hippo' ride with the grandchildren - the 3 of us did not stop laughing. Many thanks for a wonderful experience.

Sloth experience
We booked a sloth experience for my 8 year old daughter who is OBSESSED with sloths and it didnt disappoint.
We drove 2.5 hours to get there and spent 3 hours in the park before hand. It was really clean and well maintained. The animals all look very well cared for and lots to do for the children.
The Sloth experience was everything my daughter wanted and more. She fed them for around 30 minutes and spent time in the enclosure for all that time being up close with them.Lee the keeper was so patient with her and fun and was very engaging and friendly and hes an asset to Drusillas.
Over all a great day .

Drusillas is a great family day out. Whether you love Monkeys or if your kids love monkeying around you’re guaranteed to be exhausted at the end of the day.

Our children bought a tarantula experience for my husband for Christmas 2019 and obviously, due to covid, we had not been able to use it until this month, so four adults and two three year old boys decided to make a full day out at the park.
We did have an amazing time and even the adults could go on the rides, which was such a good laugh, though it did work out quite expensive, with the cost of each child above 2 years and each adult being £26 (booking online £32 at the gate) lunch and snacks. There was also plenty to see, even if it did rain on and off, though the map provided left a lot to be desired, was extremely complicated for even four adults to follow and took us ages to locate the Safari locomotive and the much anticipated 5 minute ride!
There was plenty to keep two three year old boys very happy, with interaction with some of the animals and extensive play area, including Hello Kitty land.
All in all it was a good day out and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his tarantula experience, so much so that he is now taking of owning one!!

Unbelievable place. It really is more than just a zoo

It's OK and entertaining for the kids for a short while but is very limited and since the price raise over priced for what you get. But it keeps the kids quiet for a little while so for that I give it 4 stars

There wasn't many big animals more little ones the zoo is small and then the rest is play area which was heaving with families so we just left not safe for a young toddler to be able to play around. Very expensive for what we did.

Firstly this is an expensive day out costing well over £100 for a family of 4 .
Friendly staff , but felt over crowded in zoo ,with no COVID cleaning on rides .
Few places to sit today to have picnic all tables and benches full , 15 min wait to get a coffee not great .
Once your in some things you still have to pay for £5 for one go on inflatable slide !😱
Saying all that the kids had a great day , loved to play area and the free rides .

Lovely park, animal's look like they are cared for, great day out can become manic as lots of exciting little ones running about, even a little fun fair with rides for small children, food not to sure if you like fast food then fine, but recommend bring your own, gift shop some what expensive, lovely staff and very informative. Lots to see and learn.

It has been years since I had even and again Drusillas did not disappoint. New rides plenty of places to sit disabled friendly. The shops are amazing. And to top off we was lucky to see some of the new born animals. Although you can pay at gate try and book online before the day you go is a bit cheaper.

Took a 13yr 7yr and 3yr old was well worth the money the rides and zoo trail are excellent only thing I would say is that the cost of the slide and climbing wall is very steep especially with a few kids but overall very ps at the time of this review I would leave a little earlier as there is alot of traffic due to carriageway improvements right outside the road

Good for children nice to go out.

I know there aren't any restrictions now, but thus was seriously over crowded & unsafe. The people running the park should have kept the numbers lower & altered the running times of things so people didn't bunch up so much. Like meal times & not running rides until 11. It was crazy bad & people should still have to wear masks in toilets & inside & queues. Also there was no cleaning of rides or anything in-between people using them. Felt very unsafe all day. Disappointed. Star rating is on how much fun we had at the park before covid. This time it was really 1 🌟

Absolutely brilliant day at drusillas for my 12 year old (and me). Got up close to lots of different animals, lost count a bit but at least 10 different species. Fed lots of different things and got to hold/stroke a good variety. The keeper with us all day was lovely and we had a fab lunch in the restaurant. Would highly recommend, compared to other animal encounters we have done it was excellent value for money

We haven’t been here for a few years so when we last visited it was more of a zoo with just a couple of rides.
I feel the zoo needs a little bit of TLC. The zoo route was very busy and at times I didn’t feel completely safe especially at the start as social distancing was non existent. I felt the place itself was overcrowded for covid times.
The play areas and rides were fantastic. Queues not too bad except for one.
The biggest disappointment was the food. Nowhere near as good as it used to be and now so much more expensive. (£19 for 2 jacket potatoes and 2 waters)
One bit of advice for the people who run the restaurant - if you could try and cater more for those with allergies or who are vegan as there was no vegan spread - only butter and so sandwiches were out as they had lol been pre done with real butter. Some of us also couldn’t have spread on our potatoes for the same reason. The allergy booklet could also do with updating as a couple of things were defiantly wrong.

Animal encounter . It was an amazing experience to get close and feed Coatis .
Our guide Peter was excellent and very knowledgeable . We could ask him anything .
Its interesting to see behind the scene of the everyday life of the zoo .
