Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
We went last year to see Santa, brilliant place. The kids had so much fun with the dinosaurs in the Jurassic world bit which has lots of fun photo opportunities.<br>The animals are amazing and you get to see them so close up. I wasnt too busy, there is plenty of parking and good facilities. I do reccomend getting into to the little cafe early at tiger feeding time so you can get a good view in the warm with a nice hot chocolate.

I took my daughter here after seeing it advertised locally and I'm so glad we came. The zoo area is really great and large and has a fantastic variety of animals, the white lions were very special. My daughter's favourite was the monkey that was just walking around picking it's nose! My favourite was the jaguar, it was so majestic. After the animals we walked over to the interactive dinosaur area. I thought my daughter would be scared but it was so well done she loved it. We also had some time in the softplay area so I could have a coffee, and then some time in the play park area. Fantastic value for everything that's included and we can't wait to go back!

Fabulous day for all the family. Big cats and flying birds of prey are definitely the highlight.

It was a birthday treat from my partner and turned out to be best day ever for me!
If you love animals, especially big cats, it is a bucket list experience. We had a big cat territory private tour before the park opened to the public. Our zookeeper guide was Shirley whom I can’t thank enough for telling incredible stories about individual animals that are living in the park and sharing her genuine passion for those beautiful creatures. We would stop by each enclosure to admire the animals and hear about their background, relationships and typical behaviour. Shirley has made it all ultra-interesting!
Best part of the experience was hand feeding gorgeous snow leopards – something I will never forget. The whole process is very well explained and safe, at no point I was scared or even uncertain. Animals appreciate you for giving them food by being very camera-friendly!
After feeding the cats you get to eat your breakfast as well – overlooking an enclosure that belongs to two playful tigers. Once you’re there, you never want to leave (until you start missing the snow leopards, jaguars and white lions – other residents of this wonderful park).

Nice experience.

Had a lovely walk with our kids and a dog. Woody and open at the same time, different walking trails marked off so you won't get lost. Free parking in different corners of the park, plenty of space to enjoy. And great for mushroom hunting if you know what to pick

Paradise Wildlife Park is a great place for a family day out. We had three generations in our party and very much enjoyed our time there EXCEPT for our lunchtime experience in the Diner. We waited 15 minutes in the queue before ordering , then a further 20 minutes for our three separate orders to come. The last order that we waited for included two childrens meals. You can not keep small children waiting that length of time! My complaint was dealt with appropriately by the chef but management needs to step in here!

Went here on a weekday so nice and quiet. The Dinosaur trail was very good and they were very realistic. Saw lots of animals and they weren’t in cramped conditions which was nice to see.
Had lunch in the cafe which had a lot of choice. Reasonably priced.
We were there all morning as lots to see.
The admission price was reasonable apart from you have to pay for children two years and up which was expensive. I think they should higher the age as two is abit too much to pay at £16.00
I would recommend this park for a good day out.

We have been here 3 times recently taking the Grandchildren for their birthday treats. There is so much to do and see and the food was good value too. The children especially loved the Dinosaur Experience with life size moving replicas of the real ones that also make sounds too. The Children's play area has so much for them to do and the Dinosaur train is great fun as well. The last time we went was Halloween weekend and there was Face painting, Pumpkin Carving and a Quiz to do as you walked around the park with the chance to win an experience day. And when we visited in the Summer the children loved the pool too. All in all a great day out, for children and adults, would thoroughly recommend it.

We went here for the first time to do a red panda experience. Staff were friendly and helpful from the minute we arrived, the experience was great with plenty of time and information given. The zoo was slightly smaller then most but had plenty of animals and lots of talks/shows on for us to watch. The only downside of our red panda experience was the gift bags they gave you at the end we expected more then just leaflets and ads for the park, 1 fridge magnet a certificate and bunch of leaflet ads. Should get more gifts to do with your experience like a teddy or poster considering the amount of money you pay. Apart from that would still recommend people go.

Great for kids

A wonderful zoo with Dinosaur area and lots of parks for the kids. Animals are well looked after and lots of viewing areas. You enter on one side of the entrance road which holds the majority of parks and slides and the dinosaur walk and then you can cross the entrance road to the animal park. Highly recommended for a family day out!

Fabulous place for people of ages. Best place to see the wonderful tigers and the gorgeous red pandas amongst all the other wonderful animals.

While the park is ok, they do not take the Tesco clubcard points at this park and it's the one up north that does, however this is not clear. Also the price for entry compared to Colchester zoo for what you get is overpriced. They do have some unique animals that I had not seen in other UK zoo's however. The dinosaur trail is fun for the kids and the red train is enjoyable but considering price of entry I feel this should either be free or 1 trip covered in the cost of the tickets of entry.

We were a party of 3 adults, 2 kids. The children (age 10 and 12) did the red panda feeding experience which was excellent. The keeper was really great with them, and made the experience very interesting and educational. We really enjoyed the rest of the park and encountered quite a few keepers, all of whom were friendly and took time to talk to us.
