Peter and his family have resurrected Broxbourne Zoo, as it was in the 70's, and turned it into an amazing home for a wide diversity of animals that are cared for and loved so much.<br><br>A delightful day out

We hired the Tjger Tree Tops room for my husband's birthday party and were amazed to find the room decorated and beautifully arranged. The food was very generous, with something for everyone and nothing seemed too much trouble for the smiling staff. From the guy in the car park, the ladies serving in the souvenir shop to the catering manager, all seemed happy in their work and were polite and courteous.

Ian, the tiger keeper , gave us a short but very informative talk on the tigers which started our day well. The enthusiasm the staff has for their animals is wonderful - and it is clear to see that the animals welfare is paramount.

The tiger feeding experience is one my husband will never forget, so all in all a super place for a special celebration.

Everything I discussed about the dietary requirements was met and I would like to thank the catering manager, James, and the really lovely Fanoulla for looking after us all. Nobody could have done more.
If you are looking for somewhere for a special celebration, give them a ring. I am confident you will not be disappointed.

Great place for family day out there's even a museum here.

Really lovely place. The staff in the shop were a bit rude (cash only at the end of the day), but it won't affect a great visit.

It was a fine Saturday afternoon, there was plenty for the family to see. Lots of interesting talks, feeds and pictorial information. The young ones loved the farm animals, the White Lion, the Gibbons and the Meerkats. The parks with the slides and swings, the bounces castle. They were totally shattered at the end of the day. It is not a cheap day out, however it a great day out.

Great zoo for kids.

Lots of animals and birds to see. Also food and places for children entertainment.

Two adults and a three year old cost £45 online.
When we got there we had to park across the road even though there was plenty of spaces inside.
Once your inside everything then costs you more money!! £1 a go for this and that how can you say no to your little ones when your on a lovely day out.
Lots of stuff wasn't available to use or just wasn't there.
I felt sorry for some of the animals their runs were not big enough for my dog so how can they be big enough for them.
Could be a fantastic day out if you have £100 to spare, and that's just for 3 and we took our own picnic.

Really good for kids. Lots of interesting animals (big cats, penguins ect.). On site food and drink are reasonable (for a zoo).

This is cheaper and better than London Zoo

Had a blast with the kids.<br><br>Lovely rides and Amazing animals.<br><br>Food was good and we had a lot of fun.<br><br>Highlights were the fire engine and the train. Oh yeah and the lions and tigers ! Wow

Lovely place, not to big to get round. We were a party of 6 with 3 disabled people, and it's not often that places cater so well for the disabled. There are aren't any enclosures that you can't get to see, even the high areas. Also great value for money. I would recommend this place to everyone, a great family day out. Even more so if you love the big cats. A party of 6 (3 disabled) was only £49.50. You can take your own food in , but not allowed inside, which was a pain as it wasn't warm, but there was covered areas, would have been a better idea to have patio heaters.

Doskonałe miejsce na wypad z rodziną, polecam.

Great day no matter how young or old

Not a lot of animals but plenty of play areas for the kids. They spent more time playing than looking at animals. Overall a nice family day out.

There is a good variety of animals here and as they were all active and looked in good health. We enjoyed looking at all the big cats and liked the new penguin enclosure. I liked that the zoo is quite compact and easy to find your way around so it's not too much walking for children. It didn't feel too busy so you had time to look at the animals and didn't feel rushed to move on. There's plenty of picnic areas and a covered area if it's raining. I can't comment on the food as we brought a picnic but the ice creams were very overpriced. There is a big play area but you do have to pay extra for some things to play or go on like the go karts. Good value for money compared to some other zoos in the area. We spent about 3 hours here and saw everything.

Had the opportunity to visit this wildlife park for a family birthday outing with two young kids aged 4 and 2 years.

PLUS POINTS; loved the layout of the place, the park size is just enough for the little ones to cover, there are plenty of play areas, including a nice paddling area. The cafe (Sam's Diner) had a good selection of food - orders delivered quickly too.

WHAT LETS IT DOWN; is the additional charges for everything on top of the entry tickets (£17 adults, £13 kids). A £1 here and there soon adds up! What disgusted me is even the little train around the forest park charged each person £1, and then face painting, balloon modelling, every small ride dotted here and there, fairground type water games, the formula one racing track and the list goes on and on....

I would rather pay a price on entry and then only get my cash out for food or pay as you go along. If the price is for the wildlife...then most are hidden or look sedated. There are other places out there that provide much more value for money.

Visited Paradise for a Feed a Big Cat experience. Arrived early so we could have a look at all the animals, it's a fairly small park but has a massive play area to keep children entertained. We had our cameras and got loads of animal shots, worked our way around the park spending a lot of time with the Big Cats. Went to the Diner for lunch and although the food was lovely the gluten free option had us waiting 45 minutes rather than the suggested 20 which meant some food had to be left so we could make the experience on time. Our keeper Steve was awesome, funny, knowledgeable and passionate about his cats. We chose to feed Baikal the white tiger as we had enjoyed watching him play earlier and I believe feeding him was one of the highlights of my life. I was never scared for my safety as I had full confidence in Steve but it was an amazing experience. We had an hour with Our keeper and learnt a lot.

I would happily recommend a visit to the park to anyone and if you have the money the experiences are amazing. On our way out we saw a couple feeding the meerkats and they where all over them, head, neck, in jackets etc. Looked like a lot of fun too.

In addition to the animals they have a large picnic area, a splash pool for when it's hot and as mentioned score a large play area and woodland walk.

Haven't been here for approx 5 years, a lot has changed (for the better) and I am very impressed with what they have done. The enclosures are great, thought some a bit small, and there is a large selection of animals and things to do for the children. The park is clean and well kept. The only down side is the main restaurant, £53 for 3 x cheese burgers (cheese cost extra) 1 x adults chicken and chips and 1 x child's chicken and chips all with a coke, can't see how they can justify charging this!

There are a lot of different activities at "Paradise", most of which as an animal lover I was not interested in but would be appealing for families with pre teen children. The animal section was really good, there is clearly a great deal of investment continuing to upgrade the facilities, I loved the "Cat Walk" a walkway past all the various Big Cat Exhibits and if you need a refreshment visit the Tree Tops Cafe which has a wonderful view of the Tiger compound with the roar of the lions in the background.

My daughter and I had a Big Cat Keeper experience for our shared special birthdays. It was a brilliant day. The keeper Steve was amazing with so much knowledge and enthusiasm. The animals were all awesome and all came over to see us and enjoy a titbit or two! Even Rocky the tiger who is 19 years old got up from his nap in the sun so we could see this magnificent creature up close, Such an amazing experience which we will never forget. Thank you Paradise.

Looking forward to coming back in the summer. My son loves the pool and of course the animals

Paradise wildlife park is a wonderfal place,which both me and my family loved so much. All the kids loved to explore and see the wild animals. Its a great place to take pictures of nature aswell.

Visited on Monday, nice and quiet - I always think if you don't have kids it's a great idea to book a day off work to visit somewhere like this so it's not as busy and you can get more out of the things that kids aren't generally bothered about, eg the talks. We live 2-2.5 hours away, and arrived at 12-ish but I wish we'd got there sooner as we didn't fit everything in. There was plenty of space in the main car park (free), and facilities were all clean and well-maintained, staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the experience organised - we just signed in at reception, were given information about where to meet and when, and off we went.

Most importantly I felt the animals themselves seemed to be well-looked after, although some weren't visible - there are some crepuscular/nocturnal creatures, it wasn't warm all day, and I guess there were some shy ones! I was ok with this, as I wouldn't have wanted these animals to be forced to behave against their nature.

Tour was excellent, our guide was really enthusiastic and gave a lot of information about all the big cats we saw, and we were especially impressed with the wide aerial walkways around the pens which allowed us to see the cats while they were snoozing in the sun.

In the interests of being clear, the food provided as part of the experience was good (especially the mini cakes) but was buffet style rather than a traditional afternoon tea service. Also, the dates for this experience aren't posted on the website - it doesn't specify, but you have to call them for dates, so don't wait around!

One really great thing about the park is that there are feeds and talks going on all day with different animals - in other places you might only get a few through the day. I would recommend staying for the big cat feed at 5pm, if it's the same person as we had you'll hear some absolutely cracking stories!

Yes prices possibly a touch expensive but our nearest zoo is Twycross and realistically theirs are similar.

This was our first visit to Paradise Wildlife Park, and we were quite impressed. The park was clean and tidy, and luckily not too crowded. All the animals looked in good condition and there was quite a bit of rehousing going on.
The were quite a few food outlets, and plenty of place to sit and picnic.
The site wasn't too big, nor too small. Just about ideal for a day visit.
