First visit today to Paradise Wildlife Park with the family. Staff on the admissions desks weren't particularly friendly or welcoming and the manager edged on the side of blunt and rudeness. However I appreciate you guys are busy and properly had to deal with lots of the same questions but a smile and a thank you wouldn't go amiss.

Walking through the first area to get to the zoo part was odd,but understand why it's needed. This zoo is aimed at familys with young children (and the kids did enjoy a play on the slides and swings in the afternoon). I wouldn't say it was a hugely busy day, but the toilets were obviously well used, and every time we used a block they were quite dirty. However I did see cleaning staff constantly cleaning - seems other guests weren't prepared to tidy after themselves.

The farm area was fun for the kids and we brought some bags of food to feed to the sheep and goats. Did leave wondering if the rabbits and guinea pigs ever got to go outside as they had no outdoor access like the other farm animals.

The big cats were all sunbathing which was nice to see, however I felt personally their enclosures were too small. I understand they sleep for large portions of the day and they all had toys to play with. But a bit more space and vegetation would have made things a bit more natural.

Stopped for the lemur talk, which I think was done by keeper Steve. Which was really interesting and informative. He obviously has a lot of passion to conserve and look after his animals :)

This is a place obviously in the process of a few changes - just become a zoological charity - I will return I think in a few years to see how you get on.

The kids had a great time spotting the animals and they all said they loved watched the emus having a bath, and spotting the snakes in the reptile house.

Went here on a breakfast with big cats experience and loved it.
Miles the keeper was very knowledgeable and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble to the point of him offering to carry a mobility scooter up to the cafe.
Park was lovely with a real family feel about it.
Im not really a great fan of animals in captivity but could see they looked happy and content.
Would certainly return if we're in the area.

Lovely, but pricey zoo. Rest of the area felt a little run-down, but could easily spend a day there.

A great day we had at the Zoo. Lots of animals included white tiger, red panda and other unusual species. Reptile centre was fantastic and amazing to be up close and personal with alligators and snakes! Easy to find your way round with the map from the ticket desk. Food available for reasonable price. Wonderful adventure playground for children too.

This is such an unknown Zoo but such a great one. More than fills a whole day and has so many animals to see throughout the visit. Luckily this is just 5 minutes away from where we live so we are lucky enough to be able to visit often.

We had a wonderful day at the park. We took our grandchildren, 14 months and 6 months and son and daughter in law. So well geared up for young children - the play areas, train, and petting zoo were wonderful but my husband feeding the Big Cats, he chose the tigers, was truly awesome. Steve who was his keeper, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. All the staff were very friendly and the animals looked well cared for. An amazing small zoo where you can see the animals so well. Office staff also excelled themselves from my point of view as I messed up my tickets and they went well out of their way to sort everything out for me. Hugely recommended. We will be going back.

Lots to do for the whole family. Enough entertainment for the children and plenty of restrooms and food outlets at a reasonable price.

Quite a big park with a good variety of animals and sections for all to see. Been here a few times and always had a great day out. Staff are helpful and friendly and never had a bad experience. Tickets are a bit pricey but its worth it for what you get.

First of all I thought that £68 for 3 adults and a child was quite a lot but looking back over the day for 5 hours of fun and education it's very good value .Its a very relaxed place plenty of food places face painting ,slides, bouncy castle little assault course . You can feed the animals up close without being in danger. The animals are in lovely condition and my grand kids loved it all even the cuddly toys they squeezed out of us . i highly recommend this place everyone was helpful and professional see you soon

We arrived about 3 hours early to have a look round and take photos before doing the Big Cat Feeding experience. We were a little daunted at first as the place seemed to be overly geared towards children. But on crossing into the wildlife park we were amazed at what we saw. You are able to get up quite close to the animals which all look healthy and well cared for. We chose to feed the White Lions and Moto the male came over for his snack. What an amazing experience, we hand fed a lion omg! Georgia was very friendly and knowledge. We were glad we went earlier to look around as the experience didn't last as long as we thought it was going to.

I been before and it good for kids. With softplay and animals what's not to like. This time many of the animals were not on show. So lots of empty cages. Softplay in the café is good. And the outdoors activities are great, swings, climbing frames and nets. Dinosaur park is very disappointing, better off going to the A1 golf driving range for that one. Food in restaurant is very very expensive. But plus side park is very clean and layout is ok. So if the sun's out they it should be a great day out.
