Great place for kids only issue was for the price of the entry for all the adults to then need to pay for bouncy castle and climbing wall was not cool

A mix of zoo and theme park. Great for the kids. Filled about 5 hours for our toddlers, even with some parts closed due to Corona. Great splash pond, lovely playgrounds, a good variety of smaller animals (no big cats etc), clean toilets (always a bonus). Pricey as it costs the same for a 2 yr old as it does for a parent.<br><br>Mega confident red panda.

We love going to Drusillas, it’s
Such a fun day out. There’s loads to do and see. Most rides allow small children and toddlers. They have zoo keeper for the day at extra costs. Lovely little train rides too. They have a playground and water park. They have restaurants in the park and the food is decent just a tad pricey for what you get. Loads of free parking too. very assessable for wheelchairs and prams. Its one of our favourite days out. Would definitely recommend. The only issue we had this time round was the bird feeding station. The doors were open so we proceeded to go in, the male keeper Working rudely said we open in two minutes please go back out and come back when it was open, once we go out he aggressively locked all the doors then put a sign up saying the enclosure was closed for the day. which I thought was extremely rude and was unsure whether to come back or not to the enclosure. Other then that we had a great day.

Fantastic day out! I have a 6 and 2 year old and they were able to go on rides together. The animals are well looked after and the park have taken safety measures into place. The only down side was the water park. You have to book at the water park on the day. We were there when the gates opened but still somehow couldn't get a time slot until 5pm! It didn't ruin our day though.

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.

A brilliant zoo.... Great value for money and a real full day out for the family. The drusillas team are great in what are difficult circumstances but the park felt really clean and capacity fine. We will definitely be back soon

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.
