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

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.

Wide variety of (mostly small) animals including beavers, various monkeys, otters, penguins, bats, lemurs, coati, serval cats, raccoons. Other amusement park attractions and café.

Great animal enclosures. We adopted an animal. Did not ride the rides

Good place for younger kids. Get rid of all the silly little coin operated rides though, and include the ticketed "extras", that you have to pay for separately, in entrance price as well, it's steep enough. Other than that, a nice day out

I haven’t been to Drusillas since I was a kid over 25 years ago, but I was so impressed!! Things I remembered are still there like milking the cow, but everything is so well maintained. There seems like a lot of money ha been invested, the enclosures are a good size, the activities for the kids are excellent, and the play areas are great. Food was a reasonable price as was the gift shop. A wonderful zoo for young kids. Will definitely be coming back!!

Animals are well looked after. Loved the farm animal bit. Could do with a better variety as there are a lot of the same monkeys. Rides are good for little kids. No queues which was a bonus!

Lovely little zoo. Lots to see and do, especially for kids, though there's also lots for adults to see too(as long as they like animals).

So many places claim to be "family friendly" when the reality is they just provide money off for a family ticket. Drusillas really does cater for the family, especially thinking about the younger ones.
While the selection of animals may not be as big or varied as other zoos, what it does have are the type of animals that are very active and fun for kids to watch.
Their enclosures are not so massive that you have to stand for hours in the hope of seeing something moving in the distance behind a large bush, but not so small that they are crashing into either end.
They all have good viewing areas that even a 1 year old was able to stand on their own and watch.
There is a chance to walk through with the lemurs and with the Lorikeet parrots and feed them, as well as the farm animal section.
The play area is amazing! Split into two areas (under 6 and over 6) there is plenty to wear out the children, and for the summer there is a wet play area. A selection of rides such as the train, carousal , tea cups and flying leopards are all free.
Plenty of places for adults to get a coffee and sit watch the kids go wild.
There is a cafe on site and all meals were just under £8. Coffee was around £2.60.
I was actually there also for one of the special animal encounters that they offer. If you have a young ones who is mad about animals then look into the keeper for a day. I got to see behind the scenes and walk around the back of the enclosures and you have no idea how much is going on behind the scenes and how busy the keepers are all day.

Three adults and two children at nine and seven had great day out. The oldest one at nearly 10 really didn’t want to go I was quite grumpy about it, however on the day he thoroughly enjoyed himself. It’s a bit like IKEA as you get into the loop and it’s difficult to know how to get out but that’s good as you don’t miss anything. We ate in a restaurant there which was not particularly expensive and there was an awful lot of choice of good healthy food and drinks. I did notice that there was a large area for people being there and picnics so it’s not necessary To buy things there.
There were enough animals and things to have a go on to amuse most children of 10 and under and when the children are amused so are the adults.
After lunch we spent some considerable time in the play area which was great, even The adults had a go on a couple of things.
