Great day out with the grandkids. The dinosaur walk was extremely good and everyone loved it. Felt that was better really than the animals as a lot of the areas were shut off and obviously run down. Lots of small exhibits which were ok. Have been before and felt it was better then. Still worth a visit and hopefully it will be better next year.

As a family, we decide to take our 18 month old a zoo for the first time.
Very easy to find and plenty of parking.

The park in itself was lovely. Split into two, keeping the animal bit separate from dinosaur bit
Plenty of things to do to keep the kids entertained (I personally loved feeding the pigs and sheep, but I'm a big kid myself)
The animals were really close to you and not a huge distance away from you and very easy to spot

Yes there were a few animals that weren't there or didn't show themselves but what people need to remember is that maintenance needs to happen to improve their habitat to make it more comfortable for them but also as the sign said "vetenary care" to obviously help with their health
Yes it is disappointing you can't see some of these amazing creatures but that's a zoo for you
The dinosaur trail was really cool, was really good to walk around and even learn a bit about them

The downside to the park was that there wasn't many baby changing facilities around or anywhere where you could heat up a bottle so I would advise to take a hot water flask and something to heat it up in (however there was someone really kind that showed us to a helpdesk and they allowed us to use their facilities which was very much appreciated)

The major downside to the park was the food.
Do not eat the food at Safari Sam's Diner.
Not only do you queue for about half an hour but the price for a meal is extortionate
£7 for a burger (which was undercooked and cold in the middle and disgusting. Not even I would eat it and I eat anything), chips (which were really bland) and drink, which to be fair was a decent cuppa
£1.20 for a slice of cheese is an utter con
The kids menu choice was really good (My daughter loves Turkey dinosaurs which was a menu choice) however you can only get juice as a drink rather than having a choice from the menu (even though my wife had a kids meal, it was a limited choice for a drink) and they also forgot the cheese in the burger she ordered.

The girl who served us forgot 3 things which we had to remind her about or more than one occasion

The staff in the diner were completely unhelpful apart from one who offered to help us carry some stuff over for us.

I would recommend taking a picnic however, you're not allowed to eat them in the cafe or diner, so if it's raining, you're a bit screwed.
The feed for the animals looked a lot more appetizing than the food was

Great day out but take your own food, it's not worth it
Would 100% return to the park but 110% avoiding the food

This attraction is geared especially for families and sub-teenage children, The number and variety of animals are small, with the monkeys and lemurs in rather small cages, a few camels, and Meercats in little colonies, but the emphasis is on big cats. The four white Lions are magnificent, and so too the Tigers. Compared with Regent's Park or Whipsnade, this zoo is tiny. There are no Elephants or Giraffes or Rhinos or Hippos or herds of Wildebeest, but there ARE slides and toy excavators and suchlike which delight the children.
Best of all, however, is the half of the area devoted to a Dinosaur Park. This wooded area has a winding path (or a little train) taking you past magnificent lifelike and life-sized, realistic models of a score of dinosaurs which grab, sway, wave, chomp. blink and roar realistically as you pass by. My comanion and I agreed that Paradise Park is worth visiting for this alone, the rest being a nice bonus.
The restaurant food was basic, and probably geared more to the kids than any discerning adults. It had a long queue, even at 11.50. The little tearoom overlooking the Tiger enclosure, however, served excellent sandwiches and cakes, and we had a lovely afternoon tea.

Great day out ,kids and adults loved it.

Fabulous day out with my son! Highly recommended for children and adults alike.

average overpriced

A lovely place to spend a day outside

Great place to visit with or without children

Great day out for the family, loved it.

Such a lot to do and see, a great place to bring kids and grandkids.

Great place to visit for the day, fantastic for all the family, loads to do for everyone, lot's if animal's to see, soft play, you can feed the animal's, brilliant dinosaurs to see as they are life like as they move with sound effects, very Good day out you won't be disappointed

Lovely for a family day out, wheelchair accessible, kids loved it, adults had a great time too. Wildlife very visible and seemed happy. Bird show was very interesting. Dinosaur section was entertaining, movements were very realistic. Also included a nice place to eat, and the toilets were clean. This place has a car park and is accessible, although sometimes the paths are a little bumpy.

Pleasantly surprised. The dinosaur area was particularly excellent, the children loved it.

Basically this is a 4 for the zoo and the dinosaur. Both are great but the rest of the place needs updating.

The price seems a little steep, but having done the rounds of many attractions in the UK. I would say it's generally to be expected these day. We booked online and saved a little bit of money - every little helps.
The dinosaur trail was a big hit and everyone was blown away by the animatronics. great stuff.
the staff that we interacted with were all very pleasant and helpful.
Generally it was a great day out and kept the grandkids (4 and 12) entertained every minute we were there (about 6 hours)

A fabulous small zoological Park, never really had a bad visit, only if it rains, as members we go at least 4 times a year, friendly chatty staff, lovely animals

My son and I both enjoyed the animals and the dinosaur park. The crazy golf was also a big hit. On the whole a good day out with some minor disappointments.
1. No white tiger due to " maintenance" or some such. My son and I were both looking forward to seeing it.
2. The snow leopard which we were also looking forward to seeing was complete hidden away. I appreciate the animals need a natural habitat but this does need to be balanced with the fact that people come to zoos to see them.
3. Same situation for the ocelot. My son is a big cat fanatic so to have 3 unusual and interesting ones either not there or hidden away was a disappointment. We returned to the enclosure twice to look for the snow leopard but no dice.
4 The cafe was expensive and the queue for the tills pretty long.

The attraction itself is good though but they do need to look at a few things.

Great place for the kids and adults too

Keepers for the day (thanks kids), had a fantastic day in a lovely zoo, got up close and personal with lots of fantastic animals. Keepers were very pleasant and really informative ..... would highly recommend.

Good. But at least 5 attractions were closed. Very disappointed. Normally it's really good

All the animals are well kept, looked after. The Lions are amazingly gorgeous!

Great for family trip out ,

Great place

Amazing place great for a day out

I have visited here twice, once I shadowed a big cat keeper and then the general zoo keepers, anyone who has friends who love animals, get on their website for great experience
