We have been here many times and absolutely love it. Great zoo that allows you to get very close to the animals. All the animals have large enclosures and the zoo is very well kept. There is also a brilliant playground (indoor and outdoor) that my little boy loves. Highly recommend a visit.

Visited on Saturday 22nd of July with my husband for a meerkat experience. It was great and we really enjoyed it. The keeper guy with glasses (sorry can't remember his name) was really nice and informative. Would definitely visit again.

Booked this as a last minute trip to help my brother and sister-inlaw as they were feeding the white lions and weren't aloud to take there son in with them so me and my partner and 6 month old went along to baby sit.
However ended up being a really good day. And we even got to watch my brother and partner feed the lions
They have plenty of animals and activities to do very good place for young children as the park is full of children's climbing frames and swings, the park was no over crowed and you could enjoy all the animals without waiting for people to get out of the way!
I will 100% be booking again to go again.

Took my niece and nephew to Paradise Wildlife Park on a Tuesday (not school holidays) and the park was fairly quiet!
£20/adult and under 2's are free. (You can get tickets from tesco clubcard points; £5.00 worth of vouchers get you an adult entry - recommend!!)

The park is fairly big and well laid out with tonnes of animals; you get really up close to which is great, considering some zoos you dont and have to look out for the animals! Many enclosures have higher walks so you can view them from above (although some arent accessible with a buggys as some are stairs only, but you can also view from below. They had lots of animal talks and feeds on in the day which the kids loved!
You can easily find good areas to enjoy a picnic; in the sun or shade!

A huge play area for kids of all ages, and plenty to do to spend the whole day there!
Would highly recommend Paradise Wildlife Park, I was pleasantly surprised :)

We visited (as a family group of 4 adults and 3 kids) as a birthday treat for my daughter and we had a really good day. As a smaller park, the additional play areas helps stop the little ones getting bored, but with quite a few animals not being out, the kids became more interested in the play areas than the wildlife.<br><br>The only negatives for the park would be that the shows could have been better advertised we "stumbled" across a couple of the shows (which were good), the food prices were quite high - £8 for a burger and you guys really need to change the coffee; had 3 cups, from the different outlets and they were all awful.<br><br>Saw a few FB comments moaning about the entry price;, I'd say that was pretty reasonable. We got a discount for booking online and had 10% off code, so was about £15 each.<br><br>We would go again, but would take a picnic next time.

Brilliant day which was very warm, however the venue almost costs the same as ZSL Whispnade which is a lot bigger and has more animals on offer. The welfare of the animals is great, and keepers were helping the animals manage the heat.

We went her as a birthday treat. We booked a Tea with Tigers Experience which allowed us to visit all day. It's a fantastic place and if you have kids it is perfect. We looked around the big cat area at the start and they have raised boardwalks so you can see over into enclosures and you get some brilliant photo opportunities from up there. They do a lot of conservation work here and the animals are all in excellent condition. There are lots of other animals to view not just the big cats and that includes a petting area. The tour we booked was lead by one of the very knowledgeable staff who obviously care deeply for the animals in their care. And to top it all the afternoon tea was really good too with plenty of food for everyone, there was even some left over.

Myself, Partner and kids went here the weekend just gone and what a lovely place for a day out. The animals are amazing and you get to be so close to them its insane. They are doing up the park on some areas but does not ruin the day at all. There is loads of stuff for the kids to do. Parks inside and out and also crazy golf. Will 100% be going back but the added bonus of our day was getting to see the baby jaguar so cute. With lunch you can get loads there but we took a picnic as just easier and loads of place to sit to enjoy this.

Recently enjoyed the breakfast with the big cats experience. This was a truly brilliant experience. We were guided around all the cats and given talks about the lives and where they have come from. The continental breakfast was as it should and the staff are brilliant. Thank you to Miles and Vickie for a great morning. 😁😁😁😁

With the variety of play parks and kids activities they would have stayed all day. Oh yeah, and then there is the zoo bit...

I was taken there for my 30th birthday where I enjoyed the tickle a tapir experience. It was amazing and something I'll never forget. The tapir did start eating my hair at one point but it all added to the fun! I was quickly rescued and the tapir offered something a bit tastier. Lovely small zoo with well cared for animals!

I thought it was excellent value for money, compared to Colchester Zoo and other similar establishments. I went with my two daughters aged 16 and 20. The place is clean and smart and most of the animals were clearly visible behind low-level glass so children and wheelchair users could view comfortably. The animals seem to be looked after very well. Staff were informative and there was plenty of benches to sit on and places to eat. I should imagine smaller children would love this place as there was an open pool for them to use as well as many play areas.

I brought my 2 year old nephew here recently and he had a great time. It is a little pricey but that's to be expected at animal attractions with all the mouths to feed!

The park was well kept and very tidy and the little train ride through the forest was a big hit for a little one who loves trains.

It wasn't overly busy on our visit so there were plenty of places to get food and soft play areas which were not over crowded for my nephew to play, where I could still keep an eye on him.

The staff we spoke to were friendly and the animals all looked to be happy and well care for.

I will definitely be going back but make sure you are not looking for a cheap day out, especially if you have young children who will want to have a go on everything, get their face painted and buy everything in the shop.

Although we didn't go to any there are reptile encounters and flying displays as well as set times throughout the day where you can watch the animals being fed too.

It's easy to make a visit last all day.
