Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
I visited Paradise Wildlife park last year with my boyfriend. This is probably a pointless review for me to write as, I'm not entirely keen on zoos, so this one didn't really do much for me. Seeing the animals is amazing for kids, but it's not a place they should be - small enclosures and looking extremely fed up. The parking charge and food/drink is extremely poor. (£2.50 for a bottle of water)

Confusing to go around .nice what we saw. Rediculously expensive food

13 of us visited recently, mainly children, the eldest being 9. We had a good enough day out, the children enjoyed themselves. It was pricey to get in, but most zoos are. There were A LOT of play areas for the children, more than expected in a zoo. There were also a lot of extra things that needed to be paid for, which was highly disappointing, I never understand why places do this, it cost enough to get in already. Some enclosures seemed quite small, especially the white lions which was a shame. It was nice to be able to get close to some animals which you don't usually get like the camels and zebra. Some of the tamarins also liked to grab your finger through the cage. The splash area was good, as was the soft play. Food was ridiculously expensive, which again is usual in these places, but still a shame. Overall a good day out.

We had a family day out, the animals were in very good enclosures, lots to see, well planned, extra activities for young children, play area and paddling pool were nice touches. Would recommend a trip. Only advice would be to watch out for speeding motorists when crossing over from the car park.

our family visited on Sunday with a Zoo tour and animal feeding experience,
Our guide Lucy was very informative and our feeding experience was amazing.
My disabled son was with us, and the access for everything is simple and easy

I went on my own. The high platform over the big cats is a great idea,the cafe is a must. Recommend down loading the app,helps with finding your way around. Having a mini bus service to pick up from the railway station is fantastic. Great place to take young children,loads for them to do.

Just thought we should say how good my wife and daughters mini Zoo keepers day was today.
From the moment we arrived at reception, we were looked after extremely well.
Lady in reception made us welcome and a nice touch of a cuppa and some biscuits.
Then came the even better bit, Miles arrived and looked after us faultlessly for nearly 3 hours. He was brilliant and a real credit to the place.
They cleaned out the pigs, made and fed the meerkats their food and then took them in to see all the reptiles.
Great few hours which our 7 year old daughter won't forget for a long while.
P.s well done Miles, you went the extra mile, because you like your job. We need a few more of you.

We went here while visiting st albans. This is a great little zoo with some wonderful animals where you can get quite close. We were very disappointed that while trying to listen to the wolf talk zoo staff and contractors were joking and swearing amongst themselves less than 10 metres from the talk. I found this very disrespectful especially when there was school children listening in. It was also disappointing considering staff around the rest of the zoo were so fantastic informative and passionate.

Had a day out with the other half and we both enjoyed it..clean and tidy.would say take a packed lunch as can get expensive..staff in shop great..went to get a drink at place and the girls behind counter was so slow all standing around waiting for chips instead of serving the next one or asking if anyone wanted drinks..but apart from that it was a good day out x

This was a great experience and day out with my class; although the place is extremely busy, there are still lots to see, do and watch. For example, the bug show, the Bird show etc.
The highlight for me was watching some of the animals being fed and for £1, you can feed the smaller animals yourself and the big ones too (with supervision of course). Hearing the Lion roar was excellent and luckily we managed to capture it. The children loved it.
There is a huge selection of animals and wildlife to see!
We brought our own packed lunches therefore i am unable to comment on the food, however, there are lots of seating dotted around for big groups and there is a cute chicken just roaming around the grounds.
I will be back with my family.

This is a lovely zoo. Lots of animals to see and they have a great soft play too. Recommend as a day out with family/friends. There is also a little park that has a fire engine and train. My 2 year old loves it!

An amazing array of animals. Superb landscapes with informative posting. Amusements and play area of all ages. Food is good quality and not badly priced for the portion.

We've visited here lots of time before. It's perfect for little kids as everything is so close to each other there's not too much of walking between the animals.
Having the numerous play areas dotted about is also great for getting rid of any excess energy.
We particularly loved the bird show. Always so informative and the birds are well trained and perform well. We especially love that they fly so close over you and walk around the barriers so you pretty much come face to face with them
Lovely day out for families

I go here a lot with my two sons as we have an annual pass. The have a great range of animals and great platforms to view them on. Whenever we go we always get amazing views of all the animals. There is also a great soft play. Prices of drinks and snacks is really expensive though. There is also a small splash park which my boys really enjoy. I haven't seen any of the shows yet myself but I have heard they are really good.

What an amazing experience. My daughter, who is 15, received this as a gift and had a truly memorable day. Jason, the photographer, was so knowledgeable and patient in sharing that knowledge with the whole group, whatever their level of experience/equipment. Lots of behind the scenes access, so thank you too to the keepers for making the group feel very welcome. My daughter has finished the day with much more photographic knowledge, some amazing images and enthused to carry on and improve.
