Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
Friendly staff, great for young kids and toddlers. Took my 11 month old and he loved his day out there. Kids are free under 2. Thought the price of food was reasonable, seen a lot more expensive for a lot less in other places.<br><br>Been a great day out for the family!

I have to say, I was a little apprehensive about going to Drusillas Park today (1/8/20) But there was no need to be worried. There are hand sanitisers everywhere, there are clear markings on the floor, so that everyone is going the same direction. There is a limited number of people allowed in the park each day. I would definitely recommend that you pre-book your tickets. To be honest, we had an amazing day, and I think it was even better, because of the limitations in place, it meant that nothing was over crowded, no long queues to see anything or for the rides. All the animals looked very well looked after, and the staff were superb. Bravo 👏 Drusillas and your team.

Exciting and entertaining for children. Lots of places to sit down to eat your own picnic or purchase from restaurant.

I was anxious about going to a zoo park during the covid pandemic, but I was pleasantly surprised and reassured.
We arrived at 10:15am and there was no queue at the entrance. We were advised to collect our splash park timed wristbands straight away, so headed there first and had a choice of half hour slots.
The park had clearly tried hard to implement social distancing measures, with hand sanitisers, facemasks in shops, one-way systems and announcements. A few areas of the park felt a bit busy including the zoo and the splash park (we were less concerned here as the water is chlorinated). However, we were able to maintain social distancing and moved away from the occasional other person who seemed oblivious to covid-19. We opted to eat our picnic in a quiet corner of the park and away from the busy picnic tables in the centre.
There was a large selection of zoo animals, all of which looked contented and well-cared for, and a clearly marked one-way system.
Our children queued for no more than 8 minutes to go on any rides, and a few of them were so empty that they went round 5-6 times in one go! We found the staff pleasant and keen to stick to safety measures (i.e. the use of sanitisers, cleaning rides on the hour).
Our boys had a fantastic day out and left the park exhausted with big smiles on their faces.

Great variety of animals. Cute red panda, Chilean fancy flamingoes, cheeky meerkats, slow sloths, noisy otters. Most enclosures are well kept and make for a good day out for children and adults.

As a zoo, it's one of the best there is with lots to engage the children of all ages and adult alike.<br><br>Very family friendly and have made some very good changes to the park for Covid - markings on the ground and wash stations, whilst still making it fun for children.<br><br>It may have been better if social distancing was more enforced as the flaws were within guests rather than their organisation per se. Lots of people skipping in front of you whilst you're patiently waiting your turn.

We visited 17th July with 2 of our grandchildren. We were a little apprehensive beforehand due to the virus but we need not have worried. The park was very clean and hand sanitizers everywhere. The staff were very good and helpful. The rides being cleaned over and over. Social distancing in place too. The splash pool was open but we didn’t try that as the 5 year old told me she wanted to stop now as she was getting tired. They had been on the rides more than once and round the zoo. Finished up with a visit to the shop for their souvenir toy! We were blessed with a lovely sunny day and really pleased we went .

We went in July 2020 just after lockdown eased and schools had broke up for the summer but safety was well managed and most people were sensible enough to wear a face covering.
A lovely small zoo with a great collection of animals. It was nice to get up close to some such as the lorikeets and lemurs. Staff were all friendly and took good care of the animals. Also lovely to see the 'keeper for a day' getting to learn about all the animals and that the staff were taking the time to teach them.

I’m so amazed at how content the animals are! They seem so happy and love the human interaction- also absolutely adorable!
The splash park system is brilliant, the bands work great- just go and get your bands as soon as you get to the park though. The play areas and rides are amazing, and the staff are all so wonderful. Thank you drusillas

I was very impressed with how hard the staff were working to put in place the safety measures for running the park. I saw everything being wiped down and hand sanitisers were in place - you have to use the sanitisers before going on any rides, and all social distance measures are in place - it's really down to the public to also adhere to them.
There was a wide variety of unusual animals with lots of hands on equipment (which were cleaned regularly) and we all learned many new facts. The weather wasn't great, and the park emptied out towards the end of the day, which meant we could watch many of the animals very peacefully.
