Zoo poco multitudinario, se ven los animales de muy cerca, limpio y bien cuidado. Muy recomendable para ir en familia.

Took our 11 year old son for his Lemar experience and it was magical. He absolutely loved it. We got there early and entry was smooth and reasonable fast. Not been for a few years and saw some lovely improvements throughout Will not leave it so long next time.

We visited with a large family group and really enjoyed this zoo. I note other reviews commenting on small enclosures for some animals but they all looked very well kept and cared for and, for a relatively small zoo, there are a huge variety of creature to see, with excellent viewing points and the chance to get very close. Entry fees are very reasonable and food is OK for price and choice - a good zoo to visit if you want to see a lot - with short walks between the enclosures.

Visited Saturday with a 6yr old grandson and arrived in time for the 9:30 opening.Had purchased tickets on line so had no issues on arrival.
Easy car parking and minimal queuing to get in.
Drove 75 miles to get there and had set off early so as to have a full day. Had researched on line and saw there were several food outlets inside so planned on having breakfast on arrival. Had seen several mentions on line about having breakfast with the tigers and our grandson was so excited about this.
We made our way to the appropriate cafe by the tiger enclosure to be told that the cafe and all other food outlets didn't open until 11am. What a let down and disappointment and we now had a hungry bad tempered 6yr old to deal with. Howvcan you breakfast with the tigers if you can't get breakfast ????
That said the Animal Park itself is very well laid out with great opportunities to view the animals close up.
The adjoining play areas are very good and ideal to help tire the little ones out.
The woodland Polar Bear Express was a bit of a disappointment as there were no wolves to be seen. The woodland walk similarly had no red foxes and only 1deer.
Food, when available, is a little expensive but there are several places to choose from .
Arrived 9:30 and left 16:30 so lots to see and do.

Second visit

A very good day out. Got to see Kiera the new Jaguar. So I was happy, as this was main reason for my second trip. Love the Black Lemurs. Disappointed the Bat house was shut though.
Only issue is the ramp up by the tigers, a nightmare with a spinal cord injury and a self propelled chair, the non slip pads kept trying to throw me out.

Went here 2days ago with my 3granddaughters 12/9/5 years old this park had the animals that the older one wanted to see the play areas and woods the second one wanted and the pool the little one wanted! So great all round variety took our own picnic to save money as like all places the food and drink adds up! But plenty if you want it! And plenty of seating areas to enjoy your own food ! Great day will go again recommended to all to try .

Get there EARLY as it can fill up quickly at the queues to get in. Great for children with play areas which have been all updated and more safer and eye catching. Take your own food if you want for picnics. As food bought it quite pricey! Gift shop is full with extras..little expensive..Disabled accessable all the way around.

Paradise Park is a great place to visit even if the weather is a bit damp because there are things to do under cover as well the Animals are fantastic you can get quite close un-like many zoo's where you are kept far away. Only downside I can think of it's not very well signposted so finding it can be a bit difficult

I was last here two years and was hugely disappointed. However the park has turned itself around. The animal enclosures are in much better shape and the animals look so much healthier. We loved the penguins, the rainforest and of course the big cats. The white lions are fascinating and the keeper who was around was very informative and friendly.

The play areas are clean and our children spent a long time there. We also enjoyed the paddling pool. The birds of prey display is also very interesting and recommended.

We went with a 2 and 6 year old, both had a great time.

To make it 5 stay please encourage ticket staff and refreshment staff to be more friendly and happy and focus on the customer not their conversations.

Just visited for the first time while on holiday and must say that the park itself is really really good and a great family day out. The animals all looked good and the lots of different play parks and activities for the kids were well maintained. Would definitely recommend to others and would visit again if down this way again.

We had the most amazing day at Paradise Wildlife Park today! My parents got us an experience to meet the meerkats for Christmas and it was a gift much appreciated, worth every penny! The zoo in general had a great buzz about it with noticeably happy and content animals, which is always something great to see being an animal lover. Our meerkat experience was fantastic! Kim the zookeeper was a very experienced, approachable and knowledgable lady. She made the experience even better with her passion for the animals and could answer every question we asked. I don't know what else to say other than Paradise Wildlife Park is a place you must visit! Thanks for having us and we'll be back very soon! :)

Initially I was worried due to an online booking issue that we wouldn't be able to attend today but the lovely Lesley rang before 9am to sort everything out.
We arrived at 10.30am to find the park busy but not too crowded. We brought my 13 month old godson so joined the many, many pushchairs but nearly everywhere is accessible and there's lots of low viewing areas which are perfect for little ones.
One of the highlights was seeing a napping 20yr old tiger just feet away from us and then talking to the keeper (Martin) about how they're cared for, their personalities, his role, etc. It was really kind of him to step away from what he was doing to answer our questions and he drew quite a crowd.
The park has plenty to keep children entertained including play areas both inside and out, a train ride, shows, etc. My godson was a bit too small for lots of this but that's why they only charge entry for children over 2yrs old. It also means we've got more to explore when he returns for his next visit!
Big thank you to all the fantastic and friendly staff.

Great day out even in the rain however the food in the restaurant is awful. This didn't spoil my trip with my daughter and grand-daughter however if the food was better then I would of given a 5 rating. Lovely different types of animals and birds, reptiles etc and well worth a visit.

I got feeding a big cat for my girlfriends Christmas present. It was amazing! She loved the experince.

Paradise wildlife part I find great value for money. It's very compact so it's not huge amounts of walking. They have a great selection of animals. Plus they have a pool (little water park) crazy golf,park And a train.
