Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
Great day out, especially stimulating for family groups and I loved watching the wildlife show which was both humorous and informative. The animal enclosures looked well kept and the animals well looked after. My grandson (age 6) was interested when I read out the information on the different animal species, and asked pertinent questions throughout.
My daughter did comment that she thought she could recall seeing more animals the last time she visited, but can't verify this. Recommend taking at least some of your own food, as costs can add up particularly if you are taking children/grandchildren. Nice play areas, I enjoyed watching my grandchildren have fun on slides/climbing structures etc., and they are thoughtfully laid out. Overall good value, but be prepared to pay a bit more for adults than you want to (seniors a bit cheaper). However, parking is included, and the price does include a number of different activities so a very pleasant day out with the children.

Went with a friend and her 3 and 6 year old children. The park is well laid out, well maintained and well staffed. 3 year old loved learning to dance at the show. Have to say I enjoyed the dinosaur park more than the animals as I am always uncomfortable seeing animals in captivity, although appreciate the conservation and rescue links the park has. Regardless of whether they meet minimum welfare standards, I felt the aviaries in particular were tiny for the owls and birds of prey which would normally be able to fly miles in the wild. Some of the animals were pacing (stress/boredom?) and I also wondered how stressed some of the ‘prey’ animals felt being housed so close to the predators. One of the reindeer was clearly very bothered by flies today- pacing and running away from them. Altogether, a great experience for the kids, who went home very happy and worn out. I never feel comfortable in zoos but that is a personal thing. But I do appreciate how much effort this park puts into education regarding it’s animals.

Two families visited which included five children from age 6 to 15.
We arrived approx 10am. It was easy to park and access to the park was quick and easy. We were given our guide which made the park look huge but in reality wasn't as big as we thought.
We started with the Dinosaur experience which was great and something different.
Throughout the day we stopped at each of the kids play parks which they enjoyed. There's a water lagoon, which is basically a round shallow pool with a slide. Could of done with a play park side by side.
Animal encounters were nice and you could get good close up encounters. I believe this is because the enclosures were smaller than major zoos.
We are at the Samba restaurant and thought food was decent quality and reasonable value for this type of place.
Two negatives are you have to pay £2 per person for the train ride and £2 per person for the golf. When buying an attraction ticket I feel these should be included in the cost of ticket.
Overall we had a great day out, and we are glad we experienced what PWP had to offer. Would we be rushing back again? I'm not too sure

I really enjoyed the day out with my daughter she really enjoyed it .Lots to do dinosaur park, train ride, sand pit, small swimming pool lots of animals and lots of places to eat and drink shop was expensive though, but you expect that. They even have indoor soft play and slides outside swings, will wear the little ones out, it was quite expensive to get in but well worth it. Did think it was a rip off though having to pay for the train ride.

It was a FUN Day out, the restaurant staff were really friendly and friendly throughout the park, but there was a little magic atmosphere missing! It lacked the excitement I got from going to other animal parks...Got confusing as no staff to ask directions...so children lost interest...Dance stage show and Vinny the baby dinosaur show was great FUN!!

Had an amazing time here. We went on a monday afternoon so it was very quiet. All the animals were easy to spot and seemed very content. We did a tickle the tapir experience which was brilliant. The keeper was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed learning about tapirs while we tickled their tummy and scratched their back!

Dinosaurs were good for my little boy and he enjoyed them. The eating facilities are poor and need updating! We queued for ages and expensive for what is was! Animals were mostly inactive. Far too many play things and rides etc. This distracts from the animals and dinosaurs. Unfortunately we won’t be rushing back

I love paradise park with all my heart. my children always r asking me to take them there. plenty of activities for children. well established and maintained. everyone will enjoy day and days in this wonderful zoo. There s everything what children need. animals well looked after, environment is so beautiful, park really looks like a paradise. dinosaurs added its magic spit of jurassic era, golf place is another touch of activity that children love and enjoy. I strongly recommend to visit place. needs to go early so would have enough time to see and try all what's on offer. Thank you!:-)

I shadowed a zoo keeper for the day and loved it. I would highly recommend splashing out on this experience.

Visit with 2 young children. 3 & 6 and 3 adults. Price was quite high even booking online but we bit the bullet and Went. Dinosaur part of the park is excellent with the moving parts and the way it’s set out amongst the trees. £2 each for the train ride is over prized for what u really don’t get to see. The zoo part is ok at best. Things need to have a little tidy up they seem tired. Few more signs post needed. Good crazy golf course but again an extra charge. Food was ok considering it was all prepared as it was on tray b4 we even finished ordering.
Expensive day out including entry and extras. Just be warned.
