A good place for a 7 year old to go mad.

Before travelling to this venue it's worth checking on line about the offers and events this popular attraction has up and coming. We saved money by booking tickets on line, a good tip as for our family, it saved around nine pounds in admission fees.
On the occasion of our visit, speedway, an motorcycling sport, was celebrating it's 90th anniversary at the park and so there were exhibitions of bikes and other memorabilia to supplement the museum supporting this sport permanently based there.
Elsewhere, apart from the animals, there were plenty of "play areas" with apparatus, fire engines and trains to climb over. Slides[undercover], live shows and quite woodland walk to calm them down.
The animal enclosures were well spaced, and walk ways supplied to enhance views of several species, particularly the Big Cat area.
Several attractions were closed or still under construction however, but looking at the attractions website ahead of our visit, meant that we knew this before arrival, and therefore not disappointed.
We arrived at the venue around 11.30am, and remained on site until closure, being able to take in all the attractions at a reasonable pace.

Great time with 3yo. She didn't want to leave. Friendly helpful staff and considering it's a zoo, not too expensive either.

Nice and close to the animals, a good mix of farmyard and exotic, informed and friendly keepers, plenty for the kids to do and to learn. A great day out, with holiday and online booking discounts, cheap too.

We have just returned from PARADISE WILDLIFE PARK where we had a most enjoyable visit with our 5yr old grandson. We were able to get very close to some of the animals eg Zebra, Meercats, Camels. We also had a fantastic view of the Tigers strolling around beneath us, whilst we are a simple lunch in the cafe.
It was perfect for my grandson because there were tunnels underneath some exhibits so he could clearly see the Meerkats and a Anaconda. We also saw the free show featuring small animals and birds, which was aimed at children but most informative.
We will happily return with his younger sister.

Lots to see, snow leopards are awesome. Smallish enclosures though for the big cats. Hope they get enough exercise.

A great family day out. Lots of animals to see and playgrounds to explore. The kids loved the little nature show; the barn owl flying over head was a highlight along witg the incredible hero rats. Would recommend a visit, although to take advantage of what's there, best wait for good weather.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Such a huge number of clean happy looking animals from the red panda to the white tiger! So much to see and so much to do. We went for my sister's 18th birthday and purchased an experience to feed the Red Panda. (This was absolutely worth every penny and we will be returning to tickle a tapir one day soon!) These experiences are to be booked online in advance as they can't guarantee it will be available to purchase on the day because only one of each animal experience is available pet day.<br>There are also lots of animals that can be hand fed using the food provided for £2 a bag including reindeer, alpacas and ostriches.<br>Staff were all very welcoming and knew all there was to know about the animals they cared for.<br>Food is available to buy and there is also a large picnic area too if you take your own. The play areas are huge and super fun both indoors and out.<br>I would 100% recommend this place and it was absolutely worth the 4 hour car journey down there that we made to visit.<br>I can't wait to go back! We are planning a visit in summer when the children can enjoy the splash park without freezing!<br>Our 3 and 6 year old children loved it here as did all 4 adults.

Great family day out

A beautiful 'zoo' the big cat selection is amazing and it is very well priced. I would rate this higher than London zoo and Whipsnade as they are a charity and actually have the animals at best interest. Well worth a visit.

Love bringing the kids here, so much for them to do. Recommend bringing your own lunch though as food prices are high

We had a brilliant time a PWP yesterday. It was quiet as it was a Monday afternoon but all the animals were easy to see and active. Lions were roaring, monkeys were swinging and even the sloth popped his head up!
I had booked an animal experience for my boyfriend's birthday after seeing how the good the reviews were. I decided to book the 'tickle the tapir' experience so we could learn more about Tapirs and get to stroke them rather than just feed them like most other animal experiences. It was really great. We went to the discovery centre and had tea and biscuits which was very welcome on a cold day and we were met by Amelia who took us to the paddock. She gave us a safety briefing and told us where to stand and what to do and then we were taken into the pen with Tim the Tapir. As soon as we started stroking him he rolled right over so we could give him a tickle. The experience lasted half an hour and Amelia told us loads about Tapir. I ended up asking lots of questions and she answered every one, it was brilliant. We had a great time and it was something a bit different to do. Tapirs are amazing!
