Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
A suprise Birthday treat from my wife took me to Paradise Wildlife Park. Quite busy as you can imagine and really geared up for families with a lot to do for Children. For adults the Zoo can feel small but families can spend the whole day there and have a great time. We found the staff to be excellent, We ate in the resturant and both chose the Egg and Tuna salad, at £6 each we did not expect much. To our real suprise it was top draw food. An excellent meal (which was not all lettuce leaf as you get in most places) and truly filling, well done guys! My real suprise was my wife booking me the oppurtunity to hand feed a full grown White Tiger. This was always the top of my bucket list, a fantastic experience, truly of a lifetime. That cost £99, however a true one off. There are other less expensive oppurtunityies such as Meerkat feeding etc. My guide Ian who trained me on the correct methos was full of knowledge which he clearly enjoyed sharing, thank you Ian. My treat gave the other visitors the oppurtunity to see the Tiger at close quaters. We will go back again. But for families with children, pack swimming trunks for the paddling pool and have a great day out!

Fantastic place for the family and kids. Highly recommended and value for money compared to London zoo. Much more activities for the kids.

5 adults (17 - 50 years) 5 kids (1- 7 years). I think it's a little expensive but we had used Tesco Clubcard vouchers so much cheaper and there are some deals online if you buy in advance. Food and drink is expensive here but we took a picnic so spent very little except for icecream for the kids, £1 bags of food to feed the animals and £1 each to go on the train ride which was a little dissapointing as I would have expected this to he free. Lots of animals to see and you can get quite close to most. Lots of sky walkways which all have slope access so wheelchair users can get up there too. The slopes are very steep in places though. Penguin feeding time gave some of the kids the chance to throw them some fish so worth a look. Bird show was one owl, 3 love birds and a kestrel. Ok if that's your thing. Lots of parks for the kids to burn off some energy and lots of nice picnic areas. The new water park lagoon was quite dissapointing as it's nothing more than a paddling pool with a slide in it. Think they could have made much more of this area and don't know why they decided to make it so small. A nice surprise and a hidden gem was the National Speedway Museum. We had no idea it was there and just accidentally found it. Great collection of bikes and memorabilia. Anyway, all in all a nice day out with the family. Would go again. We only live a half hour drive away so it's local to us. I'd probably drive up to an hour to get there but much more over that I'd probably opt for one of the bigger places like Colchester Zoo maybe.

This is a park mainly aimed at families with young children. We went as we were staying that way overnight. We had a great day out. There is area that could do with a bit of updating which from what we could see is happening in certain areas. All in all we had an enjoyable day.

Booked with Picniq tickets and got 21% off, for 1 adult and 2 kids it cost £40 where if you pay at the gate it would set you back over £50.
zoo:
firstly took the kids aged 11 and 6 to the zoo side, they were a bit disappointed as half the animals were hiding or not in their enclosures, was amazing to see the big cats although my heart broke for the white tiger who looked somewhat depressed and was walking round in circles, (if he never had a mate he should have one).
Food:
being school holidays i would advise to take a picnic, we queued for near on an hr to be served food i would not feed to my dog. also very overpriced. (£2.30 for an ice lolly)
Park:
not much for the 11 year old to do although the 6 year old loved it, swings, lego pit, sand pit, paddling pool, climbing frames etc. although the balloon man train and go-carts were all additional charges, you are easily looking at £100 for a day out even though we did the lot in 3 hrs. personally i wish i had gone to the seaside for the day, however under 10's would be in their element here.

We have been twice before and were looking forward to a great day out, But a lot of the pens were over grown or empty and on a day when a lot of people were about the staff were cleaning cages so the animals were not on display. a lot of the picnic tables were covered in bird poo or in poor condition. I think the bird of pray area was the most disappointing

We visited paradise wildlife park with our 5 year old daughter and she loved it! Great animals and loads of slides and cool crazy golf.
A really well kept and clean attraction with plenty to keep young ones entertained and it wasn't overcrowded so no queues 😄
Also a fantastic face painter there.

Visited today with four children aged between six and nine, fantastic time was had by all. Lots of animals to see, feed. Nice that lots of things are included in the entrance fee, lots of play areas , slides ,indoor play area , paddling pool all included in price. Lots of picnic benches and able to get your picnic out of the car when needed and take in. Great to get close up to White tigers and White lions plus other big cats and see them fed as well.lots of talks and free shows as well. Well done Paradise park for making a day out so easy.

Excellent zoo with lots for small children to do, they have been doing it up and it shows. Good value for money especially if you can find deals on littlebird or similar voucher sites

Everything about Paradise Park is good, except for the price for a 2 year old. £16! My granddaughter was 2 the day before her visit and was charged £16 for entry, plus another £2 for a train ride. All other similar attractions don't charge for under 3 years old - I researched this the day after. It cost my son and his wife £56 for three of them to enter, far too expensive when child is only 2 years old in my opinion.

We visited to paradise park was good we arrived early and the bus came to get us we were a large group so we went in two different mini buses, which our drivers where polite and friendly. We had no queues and staff were helpful and friendly at front desk. The day was nice we went on the mini bus ride and saw all the animals. The kids also loved the snake slide. We only got to see one show that day in the jungle theatre, we saw the owls, rats and ferrets. The kids also loved the white leopards and the pythons. There are plenty areas for lunch. They also have restaurants if you didn't want to bring a packed lunch. The wolves trail was disappointing, but we were impressed with the magic show.
Overall it's a nice day out and lots to see and do.

We have a yearly pass for PWP as my granddaughter loves animals, her favorite us the kuons and tigers. The park us kept clean, staff are very friendly, all the animals are well looked after. A yearly pass works out cheaper after a couple of visits, we visit weekly and we always find something new to do. If uts a warm day take childrens swimwear and they can enjoy the childrens paddling pool and waterslide. Cafes are a available but can be a little bit expensive but food is nice.

Today, we visited with friends. 11 in total. What an amazing place. The animals are all well cared for and looked after by very knowledgeable handlers/keepers. The white tiger is an amazing spectacle, and watching it be fed was a sight! Listening to the keeper give his talk, with so much passion, reflects on the quality of the park and what they want to acheive
We didn't take a packed lunch so used the dining facilities on offer, and can't complain at the quality or portion sizes. A little expensive, BUT not unaffordable!!
The play area's and entertainment on offer was above a standard I expected. The apparatus for our kids to play on was fresh and enjoyable for those who used them.
Lastly, the balloon man, funny, brilliant with the kids and his balloon bending skills were great, Thank You for the swords and swan!!!

A little expensive, but you DO get value for money. A very well run zoo where the animals are in immaculate condition and you can get so close to them. Well worth a visit.

Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to the UK, this zoo is a wonderful place to visit, see and learn about animals from all over the world. Child-friendly, one can easily spend a whole day here without a moment of boredom. A must visit!
