Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
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.

I don't know where to start I have been here a couple of times now, and we live over two and half hours away so that says enough. I fed tigers this time and it was the single best thing I have ever done. The zoo is fabulous even my husband who isn't an animal lover loved it. The staff are very knowledgeable and very caring about their animals. I would recommend any who loved animals to go here even if you are not doing an experience, we are coming back again with my son when he's old enough to do the same day. Paradise wildlife park we love you and love what you do for your animals. Thank you.

This is a lovely family day out. With 4 adults, a 5 year old and two under 2's it wasn't an expensive day. 63£ if prebook ed. It's a nice size park, not too big or small. It doesn't have all the animals one might want to see ie giraffes, elephants but a good selection. We had a good 4 hours in the park and finished off with play time in the playground and they have a mini race track, ride along track and a sand pit for kids to play in. Nice picnic area, food facilities if you don't bring a picnic and even a paddle area for when it's a hot day!

Beautiful big cat enclosure and walkway. 2 year old had a good day. Definitely want to go back. Shame we live so far away.

Had a lovely day. We all enjoyed it very much. Lots of animals to see up close. Lots to do and places to eat. Kids loved all the play areas too. As you'd expect the food and ice creams were expensive but that didn't spoil the day. Would highly recommend a visit.

We visited over the Easter holidays with my two Daughters (ago 1 and 10) and my Father who is in his 70s. He doesn't often come out with us to places like this as he struggles with walking long distances but PWP was perfect for him as it's so compact.
We spent the entire day there and my Daughter had great fun completing the Easter Egg hunt. The animals all seemed really well looked after and the keepers were all friendly, approachable and not mention extremely knowledgeable and passionate.
We also spent some time in the (massive) playground section which was really well maintained and had loads of different types of equipment to suit all ages.
I actual can't think of a day out that I've done in recent years that I've enjoyed as much as this one and we will definitely be back for more soon!!

For a local zoo there was a good range of animals, all seemingly well-kept. Visibility was excellent, as visitors can get much closer to them than at the big national zoos. Plenty of staff were around,although not all were friendly. There were lots of clean toilets everywhere, which is a real boon if you're with children. And we particularly appreciated not being forced through a gift shop on the way out!
On the down side, the food at the canteen was dreadful, and lunch is an important part of a day out. Tasteless cheese, cardboard fish, limp salad, bruised fruit. It isn't as if it is cheap. Such a shame that a superb outing was badly let down by the catering. The management must improve this facility.

Small clean compact zoo easy to walk round nothing to far away either a great if you like meerkat as they have 3 if not 4 pens of them. Having last been 5 years ago and been impressed this time it had a very sad feeling so many empty cages or just one lonely animal looking board in a cage lots of work being done and areas closed off not great for a bank holiday. Most of staff look uninterested. Farmyard area almost empty last visit it was thriving. Food expensive and awful. Gift shop head so little PWP stock more of a brickabrack store and why sell giraffe and rhinos pictures toys you don't have any to see. Overall it's okay lots for little ones to do but bring your wallet it'll cost you all day long.

There were a couple of recent mixed reviews on here when we were looking to go, so we thought twice. But glad we did. Having visited on a busy Bank Holiday Monday, the park was clean and well maintained. We didn't queue very long for anything at all and had a good family day out. They have a reasonable array of animals to look at, and lots of playground equipment for the younger (and even the slightly older kids). There are a couple of things that do require extra payment of £1 per go, but generally these can be avoided - there is enough to do without that - although if you have a younger child the allure of the miniature train (£1 per ride) might prove irresistible.
All in all, worth a visit. Certainly you can spend a couple of hours here.
TIP: make sure that you book online as you'll save 10% at least on the admission prices.

Seems ideal place for kids too. Picnic tables everywhere so good to bring your own food. Very caring staff and animals seen well looked after. Good for day out.

Like a lot of farm visitor attractions, zoos have become less about the animals and more about the supplementary activities.
Here there's a really good playground, train ride, things to climb on (incongruously, a fire truck) and various other things. There's a few too many amusement arcade elements - all requiring a pound coin - for my liking, but it all keeps the little ones happy.
Biggest grumble probably goes to the shortage of decent toilets and paucity of baby changing facilities. The queues for people who arrive after 11 are pretty draining as well.
The zoo part is quite good, although the sight of big cats in small enclosures feels a bit wrong. All the animals looked well looked after to my untrained eye, however.
It's good value overall, with friendly staff - our family enjoyed the day out.

We have been here twice now. Once in 2013 and again recently in February this year and I must say this place never disappoints. It was a relatively busy weekend and the kids really enjoyed it. My daughter was only a baby when we first came but this time around she really had a blast. The animal statues were particularly impressive, especially the giant white polar bear and the giant baboon. There was a huge variety of animals and it was clear that they are well taken care of. The big cats section was particularly thrilling. Several tigers and lions to see. The lions were a bit lazy that day but it was to be expected. It is also quite reassuring that they cater for special needs children and they make them feel welcome. One downside was the giant jumping castles which I believe were not safely secured considering you had young children clamoring up these huge stairs. One slip and they could fall on the concrete. I think health and safety should look into that otherwise someone might get hurt. Another thing is the food which we felt was quite dear. We brought a picnic and it worked out great. Definately recommend a visit. We may go for a 3rd!!

Good day out for the kids but I don't like it when you have to pay an expensive entrance fee, then get charged extra to use the miniature railway, formula one cars etc. Shame about the lagoon pool too, it was covered in duck poo!

Amazing for all ages.. you can get up close to most of the big cats. Especially at feeding times. Really good day out for the kids....<br>Make sure to buy a program for the kids as you get a free entry ticket on the back for them if you go back. We will definitely be going back
