I visited with my husband and daughter (18m) we all thoroughly enjoyed our day.
The park is easy to navigate and there was plenty of room for our daughter to wander around safely.
The animals seemed really well looked after and clean, the viewing areas were well thought out and gave was access to see the animals.
The food wasn’t great but not the worst I’ve had. Next time we’ll probably take a picnic as there were nice areas to be able to dine.
A great family day out that I would highly recommend.

This Wildlife Park exceeded my expectations. We had a lovely day out! It is very much geared towards families with young children. So, if you have older children, you may be more suited to a much larger facility like Colchester Zoo. Paradise WP has many safe areas for young children to run about. There are plant of picnic areas so it would make a perfect day out in the warmer weather. As well as animals there are plenty of playgrounds and play areas. It is also very interactive so make sure the little ones have animal feed for the lovely farmyard creatures. There is a good cafe, with an indoor play area, and plenty of places to get drinks and snacks. I would highly recommend taking a picnic and letting the children amuse themselves. Wonderful place!

Been here a few times. Great day out for the kids plenty to do. Plenty of animals and they all look happy and healthy. Food restaraunts on site although plenty of tables to sit at and have packed lunch. Our grand daughter loves it and after we have seen all the animals we go in to the indoor play area which she loves. I would recommend and think it’s pretty good value for money.

Good and uplifting experience

Just enough to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. A nice selection of animals with lots of interesting facts. They have an outdoor and an indoor play area too which gives the opportunity for parents to have a well deserved cuppa! Overall a great day out for the family.

We visited for a 1st Birthday and it was great fun. Admittedly the 1yr-old didn't quite understand what was going on, but the rest of the family had a great time looking at the animals. The closeness of the huge white tiger was a bit daunting but great to see. The staff were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable, and the feeding sessions were good to watch. We went on a slightly rainy day which probably helped with the place not being so busy, giving us more space and time to enjoy it all. Plenty of room for buggies too, and the slow tractor ride around the park is a novelty.

Best time we have ever had at a zoo. This encounter was the greatest experience me and my boyfriend will never forget and this goes with the great help from Pia and Lynn the absolute experts who truly care for this beautiful animals. We went for my boyfriends 21st birthday and he is saying how this has been not only the best weekend but the best birthday he has ever had. I couldn’t do it without this lovely zoo. We will definitely be back in no time! Pia and Lynn was so helpful and lovely, they are a absolute credit to this place! What a beautiful zoo, we cannot thank you enough for the amazing time we have had!

It was wonderful seeing the big cats feeding. They're such majestic creatures!

Having been to a few zoos this one has by far been the best. Although we went as a couple, it looked brilliant for kids! So many activities for them to do. The grounds are easily accessible and you get a map included on arrival which clearly shows how to get around the park. All of the animals have plaques with info on. It’s not a huge place compared to some other zoos, but that is not a criticism, the layout has been done very well as some places I’ve been, after an hour or so of walking around you tend to get ‘lost’. You can buy a bag of food for a £1 to feed the goats and sheep etc. We wouldn’t be far from seeing a keeper cleaning the animals dens or feeding them which was nice to see. The animals were all out and visible, and their living conditions all looked good and well kept. The animals all looked in good condition also. There are upstairs walkways which give you a brilliant view for the animals. Also little ‘dens’ you can crawl into to get closer which was fun. I was nicely surprised at how close you could get to the animals. I will definitely be coming back!!!!! It was a bit cold so we didn’t try the mini-golf but thats something to try next time. Only niggle would be the food hall - food was very pricey for what we actually got BUT they do let you bring picnics/pack-ups with you so I can’t really fault that. It was a Friday lunchtime we went and only a handful of visitors were there, felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! As I’m not usually one to leave reviews, I really felt as though this place deserved it. Thank you for a great day. I’ve added a few pics but I was too excited and didn’t manage to take more! Haha

Took someone along as a pick me up treat to take part in big cat experience & they thoroughly enjoyed themselves . The zoo itself isn’t massive , but then I think it’s early season with repair work and alterations for the new season . The keepers were really friendly as was the lady in the welcome centre . Got a briefing before meeting the big cat we were feeding , the white tiger . Then had a tour of feeding areas for all the other animals . Finally taken round With a tub of meat to do the actual feeding . It’s not until your up close to 30 stone cat who’s diet could happily inc you that you realise just how magnificent they really are . Lovely experience , great afternoon out . If you prefer a quieter day make sure you go before summer kicks in as I believe this place really gets busy . Right now with a little brisk sun , it’s a peaceful educational and satisfying place to spend an afternoon. They do an excellent job of caring for these animals . They also work with a breeding programmes to one day re introduce a lot of endangered species back to the wild , if of course man hasn’t built on every inch of it .
