Drusillas Park
Latest Reviews
A super day our for all ages at this famous "zoo" with so much to see and do. Drusillas is beautifully maintained with excellent facilities and cafes/restaurants. Car parking and disabled facilities are first class.

We visited here on a warm August weekend and whilst the place was busy it did not feel crowded. Did not queue for more than a couple of minutes for any ride or food.
The zoo has nice fun activities like a speed gun where you can measure your speed compared to other animals or a phone box where you scream as loud as you can and it compares how loud you are too other animals. Kids loved it.
There is a large play area and splash pad. The food was the usual hot dogs, burgers and jacket potatoes and was better than the usual theme park fare. Plenty of seating everywhere.
3 or 4 of the activities you have to pay extra for but there is enough in the park not to have to if you prefer.
The zoo is for all ages but the rides mainly cater to the under 8s.
The kids had a fun day out. We were there for about 5 hours. The park is spotless, the animals well looked after, staff are friendly.

We visited Drusillas as a big group made up of several families with young children. It was a lovely day out. There are activities along the way to join in with and little books to fill in and stamp. The splash zone was a big hit but one downfall is the slide and climbing frame joins onto the main park outside the splash bit so the kids kept disappearing and getting stuck on the big climbing frame.
There is a little train to go round on which the kids loved. We didn’t have time to do all the activities such as the maze or big inflatables but we will be back again no doubt.
We used our Tesco vouchers for entry so all in all a great free day out.

Great smaller fun park, bit pricey on the food and some additional rides though.

A day we had been looking forward to for a long time and we were not disappointed. Plenty to do and see with a great mix of activities, rides, play areas including a splash area and of course plenty of Animals to see.
Look forward to coming back.

We took our little daughter Margot, who is almost 17months old. It was truly fantastic and we all loved it. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and great with kids. The facilities on site were great and there was so much to do for all ages. We were also impressed with the variety of places to go a eat. They cater for all. I would definitely recommend it and it’s worth every penny! Will definitely be coming back again soon! Thank you for having us!

This park is truly fun for the whole family. Great concept. You can play the Drusilla Olympics, you get a booklet in which you have to stamp seen animals. You keep kids engaged and you even learn a lot about the animals and the environment they usually live in.
There are nice slides and rides. As a toddler you only have to be 90cm and you can do them all. Most of them accompanied by an adult. But at least you can do them.
They have a massive playground outside and even inside in case of bad weather. Food is available as well as picnic spots. Coffee shop is there too. Free parking is available.
The only downside is that you pay the full price for kids 2 years +. In my opinion it shouldn't be like that. Other than that if you want to have a fun day this is a great place to go.

Fabulous place! So clean everywhere. Animals all looking healthy and happy. Lots for young children to do when they get fed up with viewing animals. Take bathing costumes for the water park. Once you are in the Zoo you don't have to pay for anything else! Another bonus!

If you are looking for a great day for the kids, then this is your place. Really enjoyed the zoo and animals, my four year old loved being able to to touch the sheep and cows. Food and drink was really nice. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The train, the water fountains park, the adventure park and all the different things to keep kids occupied was brilliant.

I visited yesterday with my daughters aged 7 and 9. We got there for 10am and stayed for 4 hours but could easily have spent longer there.
The animals and zoo section are clean and the learning opportunities are fantastic! My eldest daughter is especially curious and has a thirst for knowledge and the information and facts available in various formats really engaged her mind.
The park was excellent and there are lots of slides and climbing frames. My only comment would be parents of younger children should keep a close eye on their children, it's a large space with lots of layers. I saw a child of approx. 4 attempt to slide down a climbing wall and he hurt himself, no fault of Drusilla's and it could have been so easily avoided if someone had been with him.
The rides section was great and allowed my children some freedom and independence running between the rides and queueing to go on. There were no long waits.
All staff were happy and smiling and you can tell they enjoy their job which is so refreshing especially with a relatively young team! We saw staff rotate and work different rides etc and it clearly helped keep them motivated and energised. Pretty much everyone greeted us with a genuine "hello".
We didn't visit the soft play or the water splash section but both looked great.
Thank you Drusilla's and the team for such a wonderful family memory we will treasure!!

I hadn't been here for some years now taking granddaughter, loved what they have done over the years there is enclosures that you can go in and feed the animals, a train that takes you round the park, also a small water area that the kids can play in and fairground rides aswell, they have 2 cafe's one which is more fast food the other more healthy serving salads, pizza, chicken nuggets which was proper chicken cut up not the minced stuff you normally get all in a brilliant day out, booking in advance on line if you can gets you in cheaper

A good combination of animals, rides and play areas for younger children. Make a full day of it and it is worth it. It is a small zoo in comparison to others over been to.

Good place for kids, but looking at bit tired and some of the educational aids are redundant and hardly used

What an incredible place!
Happy families and unusually even happier staff, in fact I wondered whether they were inoculated against being miserable, and there was a genuineness there too - they loved their job!
The zoo was lovely with excellent signagevabd very happy animals in really well kept areas - space to be curious and also as natural as possible.
Great little train, and some gentle rides meant that families can rest assured that they are all very safe.
All in all a brilliant day out, a real delight!

This place is a brilliant and full day out! The adventure playground equipment and rides were fantastic for our 5 year old. The zoo was also great, and really quite extensive. Only the food fell short of expectations; one of the places to eat was meant to be a healthy option, but I didn't think it was great.

Brilliant experience for kids and adults. It's lovely spending an afternoon at the most friendliest zoo.<br>The food was one of the best I had served in a zoo. The fish and chips, the chicken burger and jacket potatoes were very tasty.
