A good day out on your own or with the family. Free shuttle bus from the station.

A family visit today with our two young grandchildren. Plenty of free parking. The grandchildren loved the Dinosaurs. Surprised that you have to pay to ride on the miniature railway, for the admission price this should be free. The animals looked cared for and most of the enclosures were clean and tidy. I thought most of the animal enclosures were very small. In this day and age do we need to keep animals in captivity? We had lunch here, which we thought was good value for money

We have visited this park many times before and always had a really lovely day. The park is so clean and there are beautiful flower displays, it almost looks like a garden centre. we have been coming since my daughters were small when they loved to splash in the paddling pool area, and play in the playground. Now that they are 17 and 21 we still love coming to see the animals and I was lucky enough to feed Aleena, a magnificent Amur tiger. Wow, what an amazing experience, my guide, Hannah was lovely and full of information about all the cats and was very reassuring when feeding the massive Aleena up close. It was a wonderful day, Thank you

Fantastic day had by all of us I'm 54 I had 4 young adults with me 3 girls 22, 24 and 28 and 1 young man 27. Done the dinosaur walk first and that was brilliant very well laid out as well as interesting. Then we went over to the zoo part and that was well laid out and very clean. Lots of different animals all looked well cared for, listened to a couple of the talks on the animals and they were very informative. All in all a great day out was had by everyone. Only criticism I could make is the food and drink was a little bit on the expensive side but didn't effect us as we took a picnic with us and there are plenty of picnic areas around.

What a great place to get closer to animals! If you like big cats and want to see amazing reptile this place is the best. Also you may pay additional fee to get in the animal cage and feed and learn about them!!

I went to the park via a Cooks coach. There is much to see and do, there are many different animals including big cats. There is a dinosaur exhibition, most of whom are animated and make noises, there is also a miniature railway allowing viewing of the dinosaurs. There are numerous places to eat and drink within the park. This is well worth a visit, highly recommended.

Our 3rd trip here for our younger sons birthday. Came here of his 2nd, 3rd and now 4th birthday. Can see the investment in the park and it is improving.
Visited Friday. New dinosaur section is great. Very well put together. Lots to see round the park and animals are close and kids loved walking around. Train ride £2 each but worth it
Two staff members stood out as excellent. The balloon guy is so naturally pleasant and good at what he does. Second was the zoo keeper we met at the furry friends pm showing. We met Lennox the ferret. The zoo keeper, apologies for not having her name, was excellent. So cheerful, knowledgable and pleasant. My son asked her 3 questions and she could not have been more patient or happy to answer. Well done her! Hope my thanks can be passed on
Hope to return next year for his 5th birthday. And see the new changes another year on. Well worth a visit

When busy, lack of wide disabled parking spaces is a problem. Even with overflow car parks open.<br>We don't like zoos- only went for the World of Dinosaurs, was alright, but nothing amazing. Best for much younger children. Impressive entrance, animatronic dinosaurs, a fossil pit to dig and brush bones in, gift shop, Rex train ride is £2pp ontop of your entrance fee, plenty of cafés and ice cream stalls, Dino-Bites grill stall for hot dogs and burgers etc. Separate dining hall for sarnies and crisps etc. Several playgrounds, a paddling/ splash zone area. Fair amount to do, even with not going to the zoo.<br>Tailored to the younger children though.<br>I'd prefer to go back if they do a SEN day, as it got quite crowded, loud, and we had alot to process. Also had to navigate around alot of people who don't have the need to cater to certain behaviours. So that was added worry. But it was alright though.<br>Good sized area of dinos. Not a massive variety though. Just the standard selection that everyone knows about.<br>Well, that could be because I had my extremely knowledgeable, Palentologist child with me. Am used to hearing about so many more dinos than we saw. Maybe they will add more in the months/ years to come. Decent enough day out, just not amazing for fellow dino enthusiast children. They will prob expect to be able to see and do more.

Over priced for what is on offer.

Went to Paradise Wildlife Park for a second time, and again was thoroughly impressed with it. We've been to a number of such parks over the past few years, and why anyone would pay the excessive levels at a heel hole such as Legoland when somewhere like Paradise Wildlife Park is cheaper, better run and so much more enjoyable is beyond me (seriously, never go to Legoland).
The new dinosaur feature is outstanding. Our five-year old and 15-month old both loved it. Beyond that, the staff are uniformly friendly and approachable, and able to answer any question about the animals. The playground is imaginative, the water splash area is great, and the soft pay area is a particularly good one. It really is hard to fault as a place. If you live within reach, give it a go. It perhaps lacks the size of Whipsnade or the variety of London Zoo, but it's much cheaper and the animals seem so much more accessible.

Visited this attraction today with our great granddaughter.Very impressed with everything.a great place for a day out .plenty of eating places .and facilities.The one thing that made me very happy was they hire young people less fortunate than ourselves .I spoke to a young lad named Chis and asked him if he liked his job and his reply was yes he did .

Spent the day at the park with my two grandchildren aged 6 and 4. What an excellent day we all enjoyed ourselves. The animatronic dinosaurs were great all the live animals were worth seeing the park as a whole was very friendly and clean and not overpriced. Plenty of places to eat and very friendly staff. We will return.

Good zoo to see the Big Cats. More suited for families & children, but still a nice day out for us oldies. Layout was a bit confusing, & we had to retrace our steps many times to see all the animals.

Quite expensive to take the family out but I cried all day experience. Great for young children, I used to go a lot as a child. Get there early and leave late make the most of the day.

A great animal Park plus a dinosaur exhibition and a miniature train to ride too what more could you ask? There is free parking which is lucky because it isn't on a bus route or near a station.<br>The snow leopards are my favourite. My son was captivated by the moving dinosaurs and my daughter loved the play areas.
