Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
Excellent tiger tea experience:)
Our visit was made brilliant by the keepers, the wolf lady who gave us a talk, the lady who opened the conservation cabin especially for us and the lady who gave the tiger talk.
Great way of finding about the animals habitat and habits...with a very clear focus on education and conservation.
Perfect for us.
Notes.
Signage within the park is dire. Owners, please ask a new visitor if you can tag along and see the park through their eyes...one of the first things that you will notice is that things are directed as behind the welcome centre...but the welcome centre is not labelled the welcome centre...
Try rocking up for a wolf talk.....
Signage needs an urgent rethink before main season opens.
Visitors....
When you pay you go through a gate and there's a jungle play place for children which sells coffee. After your drive you'll probably be needing coffee/tea.....put the thought aside. In this cafe the coffee is £2.90 - everywhere else on the site we found it to be £1.90.
We could see no reason for the difference...cardboard cup with milk sugar etc on serve yourself basis and lids available if you wanted them.
Food throughout the site relatively expensive.
Souvenirs......
Anything plastic...and not a postcard to be found in the main souvenir centre.
Better quality gifts in the conservation cabin (it's not an educational building its a fundraising cabin)
Books for children in main shop....limited books overall ... It would be lovely to see such books as George Monbiot books given space so that the message of conservation can be followed up.
Would we go again?
Yes....for an experience day or event.

The treetop walkway above the cats were a great touch allowing visibility from multiple angles. Being a cold day it wasnt too busy which allowed for easy viewing. Windows clean so again promotes good viewing. Some work taking place on the woodland walk, be interesting to see that completed. Ate a light lunch in the treetop cafe overlooking the tigers which was unique touch. Overall had an enjoyable day.

Bellissimo parco, pieno di animali e qualsiasi attrazione. Consiglio di andarci tutti in famiglia per far passare un bellissima giornata ai vostri piccoli. All'interno vi è presente un luogo per mangiare e vendono anche gli alimenti da dare agli animali dalle vostre mani.

I love the park itself but avoid the diner if you can help it. The cafe near the tigers is nice though and not overpriced either.

Animals look well-cared for; amazing museum of speedway memorabilia just inside the park

Nice day out for under 12's

Nice place to visit with small children as it is not that big. There is a lot of paces that you can have a picnic also a under cover bit too if the weather isn't great. Few places for the children to play too. We used Tesco club card points to get in.

Loved it! Awesome to meet & scratch the Tapir. Nice staff, nice zoo. Was cold & wet = lovely and quiet people wise & saw all the animals, so don't be put off by bad weather! Some of the animals were out & about as it started to get dark. The meerkat using the heat lamp as a hammock was entertaining. Thankyou for a lovely day.

This is probably the best zoo I've ever been to. I've been to ZSL in the past and felt let down by the range of animals, their general lack of activity and the crowded feeling of the zoo. None of this is a problem at paradise wildlife park. We went during the winter period and managed to see all of the animals at the most active we've ever seen animals in a zoo. The amount of people at the park was at a level to which it didn't make the park seem abandoned but allowed you to enjoy it fully without large crowds. We took part in the 'meet a red panda' experience there and were completely amoured with meeting the gorgeous red panda Tilly. The zoo keepers were all very knowledgeable and many talks happened throughout the day. The actual feeding experience itself was guided by a very experienced young zookeeper and we were told that if we weren't able to get Tilly to come down from the tree she was sleeping in we could come back at two other points in the day or choose a different experience. I would highly recommend paradise wildlife park as one of the best places to see a range of species in the UK.

Great variety of animals, easy parking and reasonably priced

Great collection of animals in a relatively small site. Good viewing conditions including elevated walkways, and a cafe overlooking the Amur tigers. Lots of parking. Plenty of cover in case of showers.

It's ok, bit pricey for what is there. I prefer Whipsnade or Colchester and it's similar pricing with much more to see

Quite a large site for very small children - makes a good day out. For over 8's more of a half day if it's in striking distance for you.

Amazing wish I knew about it sooner

It's very relaxed, the animals are amazing and you feel like you are very close to them because it all seems very open. I had to visit some of the animals more than once because it was amazing. I would highly recommend it! Also the staff are very helpful and polite too

Great day out for any age. Loads to do for the children, many different thing to play on or interact with. Kids love the train ride around the park. Has live singing and dancing on a stage for everyone to enjoy. Plenty of places to buy food and drink. Many different types of animals to see and get up close to.

Absolutely brilliant day! Staff very knowledgable and friendly. After the experience finished, we were able to look around the rest of the park. Would definitely recommend the experience or just a visit to the park.

I honestly think this is one of my favourite zoo and I've been to soooo many. It's quite small but ticket prices are very reasonable and you can get suuuuper close to some awesome animals.
