Great family day out! For a smaller place there was plenty to do, dinosaur section is fantastic too. Not too expensive for entrance and you get hands stamped which is great if you want to go and grab stuff out of the car. There's play areas for the kids and at a cost you can hire little push arounds. Section for buggies if you don't want to walk all the way round with it. Animals looked amazing, nice enclosures and look well maintained. Would definitely recommend and will be revisiting again.

One of our favourite local attractions. Guaranteed to have a great time. We were lucky to meet staff member Brogan who was more than happy to show us around and do a little tour, even on her break! Lovely to have staff who are so genuinely passionate, caring and knowledgeable about what they do.

It's a nice wildlife park for a day out with kids. However, the animal enclosures are too small and food options are scarce. I guess this'll be my first and last visit.

We had a lovely day celebrating my son's 3rd birthday. The only complaint is the restaurants were not very fast at serving, we waited over an hour in the line because they kept making mistakes or didn't have enough change for people.. Then they ran out of slush puppies in every location and asked we wait half an hour. Other than that really good day.

Brilliant place, loads to do there. Great for adults but even better for kids. The animals seem to be well kept and are kept in good conditions. I'll definitely be going back.

Great local place. Sadly staff at the food places let it down for us. Really had a don't want to be here attitude.

This was our first visit to PWP. We got there for opening so parked (free) close to the entrance and the queue was short. We bought tickets online the day before, which saves you 5%.

I'd say the park is best suited for young children. There are lots of play areas. The dinosaur Park is really well done and my elddst son loved it. I personally think the train ride should be included in the price (£2 per adult/child).

We took a picnic so I can't comment on the food. There were a number of picnic areas dotted around the park. There looked to be a nice cafe looking out onto the big cat enclosure.

One thing that did let the park down is the toilets. Porta cabin by the entrance was truly disgusting by the end of the day. All were blocked and the smell...... Signs say the water pressure isn't great but surely something could be done to improve the facilties.

The highlight for us was the gibbons, they were hugely entertaining. Never heard anything like it!

We visited Paradise Wildlife Park on a Saturday in April 2019. This was our first visit here but we had heard about it through a visit to the Big Cat Sanctuary a couple of years ago. Not sure what I was expecting but I found it a very bizarre..... On arrival we drove past the first hint of the "paradise" for kids. We parked up fairly easily (although they very quickly started using the overflow car park). There was a small queue to get in, but we had pre-paid our tickets so were through quite quickly. We were given a map, an easter egg trail (for kids that we don't have) and a stamp so we could return to the car with ease.

Turns out the map is awful and I couldn't get on with it all day! Not everything was on the map, or where it should have been according to the map. Signage wasn't great in general and we walked in lots of circles! We initially couldn't find the animals as the entrance deposits you in the kids area and dinosaur trail. To get to the wildlife park you cross the road. It was at this point I realised that we only wanted to visit half of the map (perhaps my fault for not paying attention enough!).

Although there is a small selection of animals they are all pretty cool and seem to be in lovely condition. There are tigers, jaguars, lions, and a couple of other cats. There are a few gibbons that were very entertaining to watch. The red pandas are adorable and some of the reptiles were great and not what you see elsewhere! I had never seen a raccoon, which was cool. The farmyard area was a bit random and grotty, but the sheep were chatty. There were some talks during the day but we gave up as they were impossible to hear due to the very poor quality of speakers. Many others did the same. Were we not regular visitors to other wildlife parks we felt we would have been a bit disappointed with the small park. The beauty of the small size was that we did walk around many times and visited the enclosures later in the day when most of the families had gone home, which was nice.

Viewing areas for most of the park were really good. Lot's of different levels and places to see animals and a walkway that runs along most of the cat enclosures so you can see from above, or directly on to their platforms if they were up high. I was amazed at how open the lion enclosure was, and did see a couple of parents have to yank their children back! Wonderful for photography though! I will say that these areas would be tricky if you had mobility issues/children in buggies as the steps are quite high and there are a few of them. There is a ramp at one end but only one. We don't have mobility issues though so we thought it was great! There is a cafe outside the tiger enclosure with a huge window looking directly over them. We had a couple of really nice and reasonably priced cappuccinos whilst watching the tigers.

The bird area/area was a bit rubbish and awkward to find. There were some great birds there but the sun was shining on the cages so you couldn't see them at all (can't be helped). We didn't watch any displays but there was an arena there. It was tucked away behind the discovery centre out the way.

The gift shop was awful. It had the usual random tatt for kids, but nothing as simple as a nice magnet for Paradise Wildlife Park. We collect a magnet everywhere we go, and settled for the only one available which was really quite rubbish.

Lunch was a challenge as I queued for over 45 minutes. However, the food was good and reasonable in price and the staff were really lovely and friendly. We had a cheeseburger with fried for just over £12. It was tasty, but the restaurant was loud and chaotic. It was a busy day so it can all be expected. I would absolutely recommend taking a picnic. There are lot's of places to sit and eat around the park.

We felt that the park needs to decide what it is really. Is it a zoo or is it a playzone for kids? If it does both then I think you should be able to enter the animal park directly and pay less to do so as it is nowhere near the size of other wildlife parks we have visited, yet we paid the same as we would elsewhere for less

High point: The pride of white lions. Absolutely fantastic and stunning animals! We watched them for hours!

Low point: Needs to decide what it is! Not sure I would go back, and not sure I would recommend to others unless they are very tolerant or they have small children!

Had a fantastic day here on bank holiday Monday. The park itself was great, the enclosures for the animals were nice. You can see how well all of the animals are looked after in all aspects of their life. There was plenty to do and see, the prices are very reasonable. While here my wife hand fed the Tigers and it proved to be a magical experience, she had the time of her life and being up close with this big cat makes you realise how majestic they really are. All in all and fantastic day. Have to give a shout out to all staff we came into contact with, professional, friendly and a credit to the park.

Visited on Easter Monday, fortunate to have great weather. We loved the compact arrangement, could see and do lots in the day without feeling exhausted even though it was very warm. Kids loved the dinosaur section, which which had the most non-human movement and sound.<br>The big cats were all asleep, but then they don't have to hunt for food and have probably exhausted all conversation over breakfast, so can't blame them.<br>The stage shows were a nice break.<br>Restaurant is decent.
