Beautiful place with the kids. Free parking and don't forget to check events

Paradise Wildlife Park and it’s staff is a fantastic place to visit whether young or old. It has an indoor ball park for little ones; paddling pool; loads of shows and animal encounters and talks. The keepers really love the animals and the animals respond to them well. We’ve been visiting at least twice a year for over 20 years.

Good for kids. Can get very crowded.

Really nice place just around the corner if you're a local
. Not as big as some of the bigger zoos but in my opinion everything was fair dinkum

Very good well in joyed the day

Great place to bring kids. When we went it wasn't so busy which was good. Got to see all the park in just over half day.

Ok so positives! Lovely and friendly and clean and some great animals to see aswell. The bird show was good and the staff are very knowledgeable.
Daughter liked the play parks the most as well as the lemurs and goats!
Negative! The burger was the most disgusting burger I have ever seen, one bite was more than enough! The train - why do you charge for this? And there were no coffee/drinks kiosks??
Last neg was the small enclosures but the animals looked really cared for so that's the main thing.
A good day out with daughter and daddy and would go back.

Great park, animals are kept well and looked after, good playground and fun activities for kids. But very very expensive!!!

Nice for kids

Great place for family day out...

Treated myself to an experience in the rain forest. Went into the Sloth enclosure which houses a pair of Sloths, two Pygmy Marmosets and an Armadillo (which stayed asleep!) I gave a Marmoset a live worm which wriggled in her hands. I then gave a whole corn cob to each Sloth. It was fascinating to be so close to these incredible creatures who spend almost their entire lives upside down (and sleeping). I recommend these experiences which could be with small mammals, big cats and keeper for a day etc. Fabulous park, especially for children, so much to do and see.

This was my second visit to Paradise Park this year, and it did not disappoint.
The weather was perfect and all the animals were out enjoying the sunshine.
Again they all looked in good condition and very contented and seemed to enjoy
watching us watching them.
There is always plenty to do here, especially for the kids, many of them were really enjoying the dinosaur park, and all the restaurants/tea kiosks seemed to be doing a
good trade, not sure about the prices as I take a packed lunch, but tea & coffee very reasonable.
Saw several animal encounters going on, which was very entertaining, and the White
Tiger (Baikal) when his feed time came, he was really playing to the crowd.
Everybody was enjoying it, including him as he paraded around his pool before
collecting his meat.
Again the enclosures were very clean, and the staff as I have always found were
very helpful and informative. Also saw people in mobility scooters, they seems to be enjoying themselves. If you love animals then this is the place to visit as
they are so many different species to enjoy. A super day.

Great place ... Book online to save money.

Great place for my 3 year old grandson.

Great day out!

It's been 20+ years since my last visit to Paradise Park and it's changed so much. The heart of the wildlife experience is enhanced and the additional features are fabulous - especially the animatronic dinosaurs!

A great place to take children of all ages and a lovely day out for all.

The Dino world is must see for the children... . Best around

So, our family are 2 ever tired parents, a dinosaur mad 3 year old and an 11month old.

The day started AMAZINGLY! The dinosaur trail is absolutely brilliant for kids. As near as you are going to get to Jurassic Park! My son asked on more than one occasion if the dinosaurs were real or not. The animatronics were very, VERY good.

Another good thing here is the kids playground. A pirate ship, a fire engine, a train a mini tree house and numerous things to climb and play in. Can’t fault this at all. You could quite easily spend a couple of hours there.

Now... here are the gripes.

1) The smallest, but still annoying was paying £2 each for a smallish train ride inside the park. We paid £50 for us all to get in..! SURELY this should cover that?! Face painting £5 each! Both of these are free at our local zoo. Just smacks a bit of a rip off for me.
2) Some areas, including the soft play area has seen better days. The laminate flooring as you walk into the soft play has absolutely had it, the carpet and furniture felt grubby and there isn’t really an area for early pre schoolers to do anything. I’m not usually a big one for moaning about grubbiness (just mutter under breath and forget about it usually) but it really wasn’t inviting. Despite this our eldest seemed to have fun in there.
3) Most importantly for me.. It is a wildlife park. We have been to Whipsnade, which isn’t too far away and we loved it. There seemed like there was so much room for the animals to run around and enjoy. In my opinion, the enclosures at Paradise Wildlife Park are WAY too small for too many of the animals. It actually made me feel very uncomfortable to see the Big Cats cooped up in such small areas. They advertise that you can get up close to the Lions, Tigers and Cheetahs, but I’d rather them be a few more metres away and have better enclosures to live in. I’m not an animal rights activist by any stretch of the imagination, but I felt so bad about this that I wouldn’t go back. If I’m paying for a wildlife park, I want to know those animals have the very best conditions possible. Again - and this is my opinion - some of animals I saw today definitely didn’t and that’s not something I am willing to witness again, no matter how good the dinosaur trail is.

Great place with tons of stuff for the kids to do.

Fun filled day with the family. So much to see and do loads of entertainment. Great staff

Really good experience, great Dinosaur Park, and fantastic big cats, and great variety of animals. Not super cheap, but average now.

Loved it

Was a great day out for all the family. Bus picked up from station and return when travelling be train

It was amazing my daughter loved it!!**

Whoww the kids love this zoo. A great size to walk round as not vast but packed with things to do and see. Take a picnic as food on the expensive side but loads of picnic spots to stop and enjoy. Kids favourites were the animals, dinosaur Park amazing! train and splash park which is loverly to cool off on a hot day so take swim wear for the kids. Adults can roll trousers up and paddle. Possible our best day out this summer.
