Has recently had a dinosaur feature added which is brilliant. Has a play area for children. Is a small zoo with interesting animal exhibits. Well laid out. Has a Cafe. Can easily spend a day there. We take the Grand children regularly.

It's ok I got in on a free bee but I would say it's quite costly

Amazing place for kids and adults....Kids day was made with indoor play area etc. However would’ve preferred more animals.

Not quite as good as Woburn Abbey, which has to be the best given you can do a game drive through their sections and are guaranteed to see the big 5 there. Here you will not. A lot of construction currently going on so perhaps delay a visit until that is all finished. Right now, you may find it hard to find some of the cats, for example.

I have driven past the brown directional sign on the A10 for years so finally decided to visit with a friend.

It's a great wildlife park, we went midweek so it wasn't too busy which made our trip enjoyable.

The lions were roaring which was the highlight of the trip. Lots of different animals to see.

I plan to visit again but this time with my family/kids.

The dinosaurs were extremely poor, cobwebs hanging from them, so bad they were actually funny. The actual zoo was really good, however works are happening so some birds of paradise were not around and the major cages were still being built

I visited this wild life park on may bank holiday for the first time in about 7 years, and although it was good then it has got better, we actually got to see the animals up close and was able to see a lion being fed by a member of the public ( just amazing ).
It also has a petting zoo farm animals and a children's play area.
There is also a speed way musem

I was lucky enough to win 2 tickets to Paradise Wildlife Park in a competition at the end of 2018 through social media.

We visited yesterday and were not disappointed in any sense of the word. The park is clean and tidy and the food was reasonably priced when compared to the prices charged in other parks of this nature.

Most importantly, our real reason for visiting was to see and photograph the animals, and we were not disappointed. All the animals look healthy and well cared for. The enclosures look good too.

The talks that we listened to were very informative.

If I hadn't won tickets, I may not have made the 3 and a half hour journey to visit. Now that I have been, I am looking forward to going back.

Don't think about visiting - do it! I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

This place gets better everytime i attend! There is now a dinosaur park and a train ride which the kiddies loved (thats £2.00 per person, under 2s go free). They have vast amounts of food to eat and an amazing ice cream place! There was even a show on for the kids was great! Had a lovely day and will look forward go going back again!

A journey into Paradise at Broxbournes Wildlife Park.
A fun and exciting adventure we couldn’t wait to embark.

With promises of thrills which could make us run for the doors.
A scary close encounter in the World of Dinosaurs.

30 dinos at safe distance – behind some wooden fence,
Made me toddler scream and shout; then throw up a defence. 🤣

He was absolutely petrified and thought that the Trex was very real.
Not stopping for a photo and quickly off on his little heel.

Following that scary experience we went digging for historic bones,
Both children playing calmly and each unearthing some huge “stones”.

The last bit in the dinosaur experience saw us elbow deep in poo.
The type of thing you never imagine when visiting a zoo!

We then found a little play park where the kiddies wanted to slide.
Lots of things to keep them amused meant no squabbling over rides.

After they’d burnt off a little energy we started on the zoo,
Starting at the birds of prey as they had not any queue.

Beautiful healthy owls and some macaw at the end,
Showing off their climbing skills and from the beak they could suspend.

We then fed the farm animals with some healthy little treats.
Each child holding out their steady hands whilst the cheeky ‘baa lamb’ eats.

Exiting the barn it was time to visit the lions in their den.
Each of them stalking us quietly from their high-up treetop pen.

Rolling around like a domestic cat settled in its home.
Purring very loudly before taking a little roam.

The park boast with Cheetahs; Jaguars and leopards too.
All very happy and healthy in this charming cheerful zoo.

We moved on to the penguins which were waddling outside,
Then diving into the water and surfing the drifting tide.

Elegantly gliding in the water upto the viewing glass.
Crowds gathering around to watch each funny character pass.

The lamas were my favourite character of the eventful day.
Maybe as we’d dressed the same in our very impressive array?

Their tuffs of hair flopping between their shiny eyes.
Just like mine actually which didn’t come as a surprise!

A Wallaby Walkthrough was next on our exciting animal list,
And one that I recommend that shouldn’t really be missed.

The emus also wandering inside with a elegant powerful grace.
Very bold and extremely vibrant – owning the outside space.

The last of the animals the toddlers waited to see all day,
“The zebras” they both shouted pushing us adults out of the way.

Standing in ore and pointing to their beautiful stripy skin,
Both content watching them plod around with happy huge big grins.

Wanting to refuel at the end of our busy day,
A slice of cake and a coffee in the large indoor soft play.

The kids amusing themselves as we sat watching as we ate.
The children* playing quietly whilst I finished up my plate. 😁

Overall a fantastic day and sweet local little zoo.
One id definitely recommend that you should visit too.

The prices seem accurate for a whole family packed fun day.
Average for a wildlife park and what you’d expect to pay.

*children used loosely as the grown men enjoyed the swings!

Been here a couple of times - weekday term time and a bank hol Monday. Weekday term time was quiet and more enjoyable but bank hol was okay, it’s big enough to accommodate some crowds.

The best parts are the dinosaurs and the playground, although it’s a bit cheeky to charge extra (£2pp) for the dinosaur train given the entry price. Look out for the big sandpit next to the dinosaur gift shop exit, where little ones can ‘dig’ for dinosaur bones.

The indoor soft play is also very good, despite people ignoring the signs about keeping the door closed / buggies out, and no staff supervising or cleaning up the tables. The coffee is almost undrinkable and I’d recommend bringing a picnic (plenty of picnic tables) unless you want to pay £5.50 for a sandwich. The toilets on bank hol Monday were disgusting, but they were okay when we went in the week.

The zoo part is good but, as other reviewers have commented, some cages do seem quite small. The new lion enclosure isn’t finished yet (says it’s due to open in May), but it looks like it will be much better.

Overall it’s a good day out, particularly if you have a young dinosaur fan. It’s just a shame the cafe & toilet facilities aren’t better.

Great place for a family day out with younger kids. The zoo area has a great big cat section and it’s very easy to walk around the different areas with little kids as it’s all quite small and close together. The Jurassic Park bit is a good bit of fun and there are loads of play parks and additional things to entertain the kids. Food choices are all unhealthy and a bit pricey to take a packed lunch.

An interesting visit with plenty of things to see for younger children and some animals as well. Relatively expensive for a day out. Just for wildlife I prefer ZSL London and Whipsnade Zoo.

The dinosaurs are here! We went to see the dinosaurs first as it's nearer to the ticket office. It's a nicely laid out walk, taking you from one dinosaur to another. They move and make sounds. It all ends at the Dino Store.<br>At the stage area, situated in the play area, there is a chance to meet Blue the velociraptor (only at certain times).<br>I've only ever been if I've had some sort of price concession. It's a good day out. The zoo has the five Big Cats plus other large animals.<br>Food and drink is quite expensive so it would be advisable to take a packed lunch and drinks.
