Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
I visited recently with friends and their little granddaughter we all had a great day out. She loved the animals which all appeared to be beautifully looked after. I enjoyed the parakeets which for a small price you can feed them nectar. The interactive activities were a great hit as was the train ride and play area. We had lunch in the main cafe/ restaurant myself and my friend had salad from the salad bar which was fresh and the little one enjoyed her sausage and chips. A fab day out.

Took the kids for a day out and they absolutely loved it! The animals are even better than when I was younger and they were enjoying learning about all the different animals and completing their books. We got lunch from the cafe and the chips were to die for! Looking forward to taking them again.

My girlfriend and I treated her younger cousins to a day out at Drusillas. They absolutely loved it. Enjoyed the zoo with lots of interactive things to do along the way and loved the play area at the end. They didn’t want to leave at the end of the day!

Visited on a bit of a gloomy day in half term, so fortuntely it wasn't massively busy.
Generally thought some parts of the farm/zoo area were tired and needed a bit of care/work. Quite a few of the interactive quiz/noises/puzzles/games weren't on/working.
Only one of the cafe areas was open, presumably not worth opening the others if not that busy. Problem was, if you wanted to grab a coffee, you had to join the painfully slow queue of people also ordering food from the buffet.
Rides were being run in a periodic fashion, again, not enough visitors to have all rides fully staffed I guess.
The play area is excellent, plenty of animals to see and easy enough to get around - family of 3 ticket was £52, so I guess not too bad value all in all, but won't be rushing back.

First discovered Drusilla's in 1983, and have been visiting on every occasion we go to Alfriston, over the years have seen many changes all for the best, the animals are certainly care for, the staff are friendly and helpful, the cafeteria is nice, and there are many toilets within the grounds, and will continue to visit every time we go to the beautiful village of Alfriston, takes us back many years, peaceful and tranquil.

We went on a very rainy day in half term. For three kids and one adult it cost just under £80. The kids enjoyed being almost the only ones there. They liked the primates and the baby otters, plus feeding nectar to the parrots. They had a good go at the playground despite the rain. There was also a water play area which looked good. We bought lunch on site which was predictably expensive. Overall it was okay. They do lots of offers so worth signing up for the email before you go to see if you can benefit from any savings.

My granddaughter loved this place, the little animals were just right and she loved the swingpark. Expensive to get in and food is ridiculously pricey, so take your own

Fantastic! Our second visit and thoroughly recommended for all ages.<br>If there is a downside it was the prices in the shops but this seems par for the course at these places. Simply - we took a picnic and bought ice creams and coffees

Great place for children. Yearly pass great value for money.

Definitely aimed towards children, but that didn't detract from my experience. Majority of animals seemed fairly mellow, however I did think that each species got a decently large area to live in - majority of larger species had separate indoor and outdoor areas that they could freely travel between.

Was looking forward to visiting this park today but unfortunately me and my boyfriend were not impressed. It seems like the park pay and give more attention to the rides and attractions compared to the actual animals. Considering the ticket price, £17.50 (online price) we expected more animals. After all, it is a zoo. The animals enclosures were good and we did enjoy seeing all of the animals, however we were finish seeing them in about an hour. The price for the food was quite expensive, £3.75 for a small sandwich and overpriced drinks; we decided to eat somewhere else. I suppose to park is great in the summer time for family’s but expect not to see a lot of animals. It’s more of a playground with some animals.

Drusillas is a great place to visit, there are lots of small animals to see with plenty of information to read. It was nice to see so many of the animals out in there enclosure and not hiding away so bring a camera, you won’t be disappointed. The park is very well laid out so you won’t miss anything. Will definitely visit again

We visited the park as we wanted to show the little one some live animals. It is quite pricy but if the money goes towards the animal care, park improvement and staff, I'm totally fine with paying the amount being charged! We visited the park in the week were it was not too busy, so we could actually stay at the enclosures for a little while and take a better look at the animals. We had the impression, that some of them looked a bit rough but I guess that's their nature, if they are play fighting and so on...We were also looking forward to have a meal in the park as we did not pack anything on purpose but we got disappointed as the parks restaurant was closed. There was only a cafe which of course only sold small sandwiches. Maybe we should have visited on a weekend when it probably is more busy, as we think that the restaurant is not open during the week? Other than that it was a nice day out

Great family day

We expected a little bit more I think. £60 entrance and no hot food availible. It just didn't feel great. We don't mean to be rude or disrespectful and hope this review isn't taken out of context.
