We visited on Friday as our end of term treat! We had not actually been for a few years but wanted some fun and an animal fix! We were not disappointed!
Although there were many people there, the staff and layout meant that, with a little waiting here and there, we felt safe. And the cleaning was brilliant! It took us 1.5 hrs to get through the beautiful animals and all the babies were wonderful to see - a real reminder that ‘life goes on’ during lockdown.
It was very hot so we didn’t spend ages in the play areas, but we did the animals (again) and actually found doing them at 10 and then 2 we saw those that were ‘hiding’ or sleeping earlier! Enjoyed the rides, queues not too bad.
All the staff were fab - and the volunteers.
The children want to come back again this summer - with their friends!
Thank you for a lovely day and start to our holidays!

Even though some attractions closed due to social distancing there was enough to keep grandson entertained.

Always have a fun time at Drusillas, kids love the animals, playground and rides. Nice to see plenty of hand gel and distancing measures in place this summer

Visited post lockdown reopening with our (almost !) 4 year old and we were delighted by it all.
Pre booked and pre paid, nice and easy. Parking easy, and staff every where cleaning where the kids touch etc.
Plenty of room for social distancing even though some of the other guests were found wanting!!
A few things closed but still loads to do. Play area, Farm area, Zoo and Dinosaur walk ! All good.
Service in the cafe all good, not so sure about the hotdogs though!
If we could design a perfect day out for our Grandson....Drusillas would be it and I reckon will keep him happy for many years to come too !
Well done to all the Management and Staff for getting back up and running again, great job, thank you 👍

Very good and well organised with observance to the regs, but not intrusive so that it spoiled the experience. Thank you to the staff.

This is the best place for little ones.. the rides are fun, the amount of animals in the zoo is unbelievable.. it is so well organised.. the rides are brilliant for kids aged 2-10.. the adventure area is awesome and the wet play area is large.. in the new normal covid-19 situation most of the park is open and there is hand sanitiser everywhere which is great! Highly recommended, we will be visiting again and again!!

We arrived about 15 minutes prior to opening and the queue wasn’t too bad but grew fast. I couldn’t tell if entry was slow on opening to stagger the flow or just because people were slow buying tickets (we booked ahead online).
The one way system is well implanted for social distancing. As with any zoo right now you’ll find families who are good and those who don’t care about COVID distancing... so be patient and let idiots pass by.
Our kid really enjoyed seeing the animals but he’s too small for the play park right now. Majority of rides / play areas seemed open though.
We were in and out in 1 hour, so more driving to and from than actual park. I suspect when your kids can use play area that helps burn time.

I went here for a red panda experience and was met by Paul which I would have preferred him to be more chatty and tell me more about the red panda.

Fantastic day at Drusillas, can not fault it. A few things were closed due to current situation but plenty of other things to do. Not crowded apart from near the playground with parents etc sitting while kids had their fun.
Social distancing not a problem. Rides are taking smaller number of people which if busy would make queue more, but today wasn't a problem. Longest wait probably a few minutes.
Plenty of hand sanitizer stations and staff (who all wore masks) encouraged everyone to use.
Didn't use any of the food outlets as we took a picnic.
Park very clean with staff going round cleaning the interactive places where the children had touched. Although didn't see anyone cleaning as we went through the zoo the glass looked very clean and no finger marks so they were obviously cleaing on a regular basis.
Will definatly visit again!

Pretty good. Rides are for little kids, small zoo but just the right size to go round without being too tired at the end to go on the rides. No long queues either 👍

Not the greatest selection of animals, but the park itself is good and the play areas are excellent.

Brilliant day out. The park was amazing and the getting to see all the animals was fantastic. The childrens play areas are fantastic along with the rides plenty to do and keep the little ones busy.

Absolutely brilliant day out. The park is only small but packed with things to do and see. It is very organised lots of toilets and hand washing stations. Staff are constantly cleaning and ensuring everyone’s safety. The seating around the park is well spaced and staff are all lovely and friendly.
The animals are beautiful and all look very clean and healthy, their enclosures are large, with open tops and glass sides so you can get nice and close to the animals and they have plenty of room to enjoy themselves. They are all very relaxed and not bothered by visitors. There are some unusual breeds and also a small petting area. There is a large playground for children, a water play area which had lots of interactive fountains etc and plenty of places to eat and to by yummy treats. There is a little train that goes around it’s only a 5 minute ride but fun for the under 5s There are also 2 large gift shops open with reasonably priced souvenirs. The whole park is clean and well kept I would recommend it for all ages. Im not usually a zoo lover but Drusilla’s ticked all the right boxes.

We had a great day out here! It was really clean, felt safe - not too busy, ample hand sanitising stations and great to see staff encouraging the use of it! Staff also really helpful & friendly.
We recently (since lockdown) visited a larger zoo and felt disappointed after the visit so I didn’t have high hopes for here but we had the best day, we saw loads of animals &
It felt much ‘safer’, my 2 year old was in her absolute element with the rides too. Just wish we lived closer to visit again! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND lovely little day out - great value for money!!!

Fantastic selection of animals, my 2 year old and 10 year old loved it. There is a 1 way system around the animals just a shame a few of the people there thought they were too important to follow this or any social distancing rules.<br>Only a few of the rides were closed due to covid-19 which is understandable. The rides that were open were more suitable for younger children but my 10 year old did still enjoy the day.<br>The outdoor play area is huge for both the older kids and so is the one for smaller children and both are great quality. The splash pad was fantastic but the water was cold as weather was warm but not hot.<br><br>Overall was a great day out. Would definitely recommend, only complaints are that too many people were let in, making social distancing almost impossible at times.

It's been quite a few years since I visited but after today I can see that the park has expanded, as has its variety of animals. There are some rides, a small section of animatronic dinosaurs, the farm section is still there and virtually unchanged since I went there as a little girl.<br><br>A great day out for families, even with the rubbish weather. The animals seem well-kept and contented and Drusillas boasts its conservation efforts which, judging by the babies in a few of the enclosures seems to be going rather well!
