This was my second visit here and we had a fantastic day out both times. The animals are all very well kept. Plenty of places to sit and have a picnic if you want to but there is also plenty of reasonably priced food outlets. Lots of play areas for the children around the park.
This is a very good value for money day out.
On this visit I done a feed the big cats experience, it was one of the best things I have ever done, I chose to feed the tigers, and got very up close to them actually having one take food out of my hand, all carried out in a very safe way with a keeper, one of very few places in the world where you get to hold the meat and have the tiger take it from your hand, awesome to get so close and appreciate the power of such a cuddly animal that would kill you in a second if it wasn't for the fence, you just want to put your hand through and stroke them.
I will be back again soon

Pros: good size zoo, good selection of animals to include couple of rare ones such as white tiger - must see!, huge parking (go as early as you can if you want parking space near main entrance), many picnic areas (you can bring your own food - they will stamp your hand on entry so you can leave everything in your car and pick it up when needed), children playground, opportunity to see how animals are fed as they advertise timings.
Cons: it is not the cheapest atraction, very chaotic layout, we were going around in circles on couple occasions and finding new attractions on our way out when our little one was sleeping in her buggy, map didn't help much. Maybe better signage would help.
Would I go back there? Definitely yes. We did enjoy our family day out a lot. Allow at least 6 hours, ideally whole day for your visit.

Had a virgin experience voucher to use & booked the Tiger Tea. Spent an enjoyable couple of hours touring the park before our allotted time to visit the big cats. Our guide Ian was excellent, very knowledgeable and experienced. It was a hot day and the cats were dozy but Ian made sure we got to see them as far as possible. The Tea afterwards was very pleasant in the tree top cafe overlooking the Tigers. All in all a good day out.

First visit to Paradise Wildlife Park. What a wonderful day out. This was so much better than I was expecting.
The animals were in top notch condition. The viewing platforms for the big cats in particular were a brilliant idea.
We attended two of the talks......big cats and then later the cheetah one.
A huge thank you to Nick for sharing all his big cat knowledge with us. He is such a credit to Paradise Wildlife Park.

On a hot sunny day Paradise Wildlife Park is a great day out for a family with young children. The park's zoo offers a range of animals while the kid's attractions are numerous and diverse from bouncy castles, mini splash park, miniature railway, adventure playground - the list goes on and on! There's no doubt the park's facilities like tired in places but given a family ticket is £5-10+ cheaper than popular nearby favourites like Willows Farm; overall it delivers fantastic value for money.

Amazing place. Animals are really well kept and the keepers keep the environments clean and tidy. The staff are nice and really keen on keeping all the park clean and tidy too. Play areas and entertainment are fantastic. Food is a bit pricey but good. I would suggest to buy the tickets online as they are cheaper. A very good day out especially with children, I would definitely recommend it!

Great day - weekday during term time so nice and quiet. The ONLY bugbear I have is that quite a lot of the kiosks and some rides were closed and there were around 3 or 4 areas of the park under refurbishment so no tractor ride (try explaining that to a 3 year old) I totally get that if it's not busy maybe don't open everything and I get that work needs to be done but .... for the same price ticket as the weekend/holidays?

5* doesn't go high enough. Outstanding venue. Staff always on hand to help or explain. Shows and talks were brilliant. Love this place so much I go at least 5-10 times a year.

I take my granddaughter here during the school holidays, we spend all day here and she is reluctant to leave when closing, so must be good, she is 8 years old.

Spent half a day at the park with my two sons aged 2 and 6. The viewing platforms allow you to get fab views of the animals, in particular the lions. Kids enjoyed being so close to the animals with great unrestricted views.
They also enjoyed being able to feed the farm animals, with feed brought on site.
My six year old son enjoyed the go carts and play grounds.
The only disappointing part of our time was service in Safari Sam's diner, apart from the queue the ladies that were serving seemed to take their time, almost moving in slow motion. The food itself was average could be a lot better. I would recommend just taking a picnic.
Luckily I purchased our tickets the day before on a discount website ( picniq tickets) and got tickets for a family of four for £52 rather than £70 plus at the park.

The 6 of us went here at the weekend. Got lucky with the weather. Arrived early and nice and quiet. Park has been developed since our trip a year ago. Lots of improvement going on. Loved our day out here. Lots to see and do. Boys of 3 and 4 walked it all with some rests. Great coffee watching the Tigers from the restaurant. Nice train ride (£1 each), and day finished with some fun with the magician and balloon man, which the boys really enjoyed. Will definitely return. Great family day out

Paradise Wildlife park is absolutely brilliant for the whole family. It gives people a chance to see animals they probably never would be able to see otherwise. You are able to get up close and really see what they are about. The learning aspect by the park is brilliant, they keep the children fully entertained and enthralled.
The food and drink side of things are good value for money too and the service is spot on. It's worth a visit

A good day out but far too expensive and some of the enclosure's for the big cats are far too small.

This place is amazing, I cannot overstate how great this park is. We have been several times over the years, their Animal Experiences are the best things ever! We have had the opportunity to hand-feed lions, meerkats and red pandas, and each experience has been absolutely brilliant. The staff are genuinely friendly and very knowledgeable, and really love the animals and their jobs. If you are an animal lover and want a once in a lifetime chance to get up close to these wonderful creatures, then Paradise Wildlife Park is the perfect place to do it. The park itself is well laid out, the whole place is walkable in half a day, and the canopy walkway around the big cat enclosures give you great views and photo ops. I would thoroughly recommend visiting and supporting the great conservation work being done here.

Great place to bring your kids. If they are not completely tuckered out by the time you leave, you have been at the right place. My 3 year old boy absolutely enjoyed himself.

Interesting to see and read about the history of speedway with lots of artifacts and memorabilia through the ages - lots to take in as a very interesting collection.
Lots of animals to see and take photos of. The personnel know lots about the animals that they are looking after. Great to have the higher viewing platforms to see into the enclosures so you have more chance to see the animals as they rest under trees such as the wolves and big cats.
It was great to read all about the conservation and breeding programmes that the zoo is involved in to help keep these species of animals alive for more people to see and to try and release them into the wild.
There is new enclosures being built as they try and provide excellent care for the animals - good to see a range of different owls in addition to parrots and other birds.
The day got even better - Brilliant and awesome opportunity to see behind the scenes and to get up close and personal with a Big Cat - had a choice of cat to feed and the keeper was very knowledgeable about the animal - highly recommended for all to do - nothing to be scared of as they are very gentle. What a great present to have!!

Visited here for the first time with 21 month old toddler and what a wonderful time he had, so many things to climb on and to ride. The wildlife section was accessible for buggies and the walkways meant that the animals were visible. Soft play at the end of the day in the cafe made his day. Wish it had been warm enough to visit the lagoon. 3 generations loved it.
