Took a 3 year old, a 4 year old and an 18 month old to Paradise Wildlife Park last week and they all loved it - the animatronic dinosaurs are amazing and everyone enjoyed the little train ride (make sure you have change available, £2 each). We liked seeing the animals too, can understand some peoples' views on size of their habitats, some of the animals were pacing a little bit but they did all appear to be in very good condition and the staff were all very knowledgeable. The kids all loved the soft play centre and all of the outside play equipment too, especially the slides from the fire engine and the train. Lots of opportunities to spend money in the shops which is to be expected, bit disappointed more of the food concessions weren't yet open but we did visit pre-Easter so not entirely unexpected. It wasn't hugely busy but given that we had booked tickets online before we went, it would have been helpful to have the 'pre-booked tickets' kiosk open rather than having to queue with everyone else. Food we had in the Diner was okay but quite expensive for what it was - toilets were all clean which was a nice surprise (with three kids we visited them quite a lot!). Generally had a great day out and would go back - suspect it gets quite busy in the holidays though.

Went as a family (2 young kids, 2 adults).
Kids loved the dinosaur area. They also liked the playgrounds and soft play.
They liked the farmyard area: feeding the sheep, pig, etc.
Not that keen on the "zoo" bit: all the enclosures are pretty depressing, small, and dated, especially the big cats and the penguins. Although there's a new lion area being built, which looks better.
Train ride was fun.
The restaurant was dreadful. Rubbish overpriced food. Side-salad with my jacket potato was a single lettuce leaf, 3 tiny tomatoes, and about 10 pieces of sweetcorn. Wife's burger was stone cold.

Ideal for adults and children. Has been updated to provide better safety for children in play areas. Plenty to see. Lovely to browse around. Check out times and activities on their website. Lovely time spent here .

Very family orientated, good value, have to pay extra for the train ride.
Loved the speedway museum.
Good was good value pizza from £8ish.
Lots of the cages seemed very small, I'd much rather have less animals and give them more space!

Would be nice to have an indoor picnic area.

Excellent park always enjoy here. Other than ths monkey mayhem refreshments stand. The 2 young lads need a new outlook on life. Ordered a lattee, they only had jar coffee and had to make it all myself other than the water being poured. Shocking choice aswell. Rude and not polite

Having read some of the reviews (and concerns) on this site, I decided to visit the Paradise Wildlife Park with an open mind. Straight away it's worth mentioning this zoo is geared towards it's smaller visitors.
My main worry was the small size of the zoo and it's small sized habitats for the animals to live in. These worries are unfounded. Whilst being the smallest zoo I have seen, with the smallest enclosures, all animals were in good health, happy and well cared for.
Would recommend but have no interest in returning myself.

Excellent for kids

A really lovely day out, not cheap though at £19 per adult & only a couple of pounds cheaper for over 2's. But if you pre-book tickets online you get 10% off.
The park was great for smaller children as not huge. Animals look well cared for and the park is well maintained. Enclosures were well designed so you could actually see the animals. The dinosaur walk around was nice and not too big. There is a couple of play parks too, aimed at younger children/toddlers. Only downside for us was food was incredibly expensive and poor quality, we paid nearly £20 for 2 sandwiches, 2 crisps, 2 soft drinks & a piece of cake. Definitely somewhere to take your own lunch.

Haven't been here in years and it's completely changed. Alot if brilliant new attractions to see. If you've not been I'd wait a couple more weeks as there doing a new lion enclosure which looks amazing when it's finished. We went on mother's day so mum's get in free saving about £20 gate price only but cost £35 for a full day out. Dinosaur bit it really good 3 year old loved it. Animals were really good all animals looked clean and well looked after. We took a picnic but plenty of places to eat. Special events I'd get there early as we had a bit of a queue to even get in. Brilliant day with lots to do outside splash pool on the summer a soft play for a rain shower. Would recommend and would return.

Very child friendly and disabled accesable.
Love the viewing platforms so you can see the big cats clearer. We have been coming here for 13 years one of my favourite zoos to visit. Looking forward to our next visit.

Compact but huge amounts to do.

Although the whole place is geared up well for the education and entertainment of children, it is well worth the visit for adults. We visited in March during term time so there were just a couple of organised school trips with mainly the morning for the majority of parents with small children. In the afternoon it was more quiet. It was great to roam around freely going back to see the lions many times and had the delight of watching the tigers and red pandas being fed. The commentary is very good at feeding time. The raised walkway around the big cats is a superb feature and excellent for photography opportunities. Also a small cafe at the top for a break and lunch. We missed the wolf pack as we didn't notice the woodland entrance until we were leaving; our main disappointment. The mobile dinosaur models are intriguing and the park well laid out and informative. The otters are fun and surprising with their squeaky voices. Too many lovely animals to mention but for us the lion roaring was a must to hear. We would return another time but a major consideration for us is the location and the necessity to use the M25.
