Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
Was a lovely day and it was nice and quiet in January. Was surprised how many animals we got to see quite close up considering it was winter! Although it's a shame the Tiger feeding was so late in the day and there are no elephants or giraffes! Still a great day for family and photos and it holds many childhood memories.

We used a red letter voucher to go on a Wow tour which was great. The keeper that showed us round (Luke I think) was really engaging and informative and made our tour really great and we got to hold some cool animals too :). The zoo itself was a good size, the animals were all clearly loved and cared for and as a result all seemed happy. We would recommend going in with the Lorikeets if you get the chance,that's a very memorable and funny experience. All in all we had a great day,saw some lovely animals and would recommend this wildlife park to anyone who likes animals.

I love this attraction, the staff are all very friendly, very knowledgeable and their love for the animals they care for is evident.
Many of the animals looked like they were posing for their pictures, they were all amazing, I must also mention the bus driver for the park, a lovely man and very helpful.

Used my Tesco vouchers and as I work for NHS its half price for ID holder....so a very cheap day out compared to usual price. went with 2 children, another adult and senior citizen, we had a lovely time just after Christmas, and it was pretty quiet. spent 4 hours there and fed quite a few of the animals and saw the big cats being fed, kids also had hot chocolate and played in the soft play for 45 mins
a fun day had by all

you can easily spend the whole day there and still manage to nearly get locked in when you realise it's closing time . there two sides to the park. as you walk in, it is the play side. lot's of swings slides ect. then if you cross over then you start the animal side. it's a great size park with a fair amount of animals. they do different shows throughout the day so another bonus :) I can not fault this place. we have been a good few times now. and there tends to always be discount tickets available.

Booked, using vouchers, as a treat for other half. The main reason was to visit the National Speedway Museum. How disappointed were we, when, having been all round the park, seen the animals and chatted with some of the well informed keepers we found a notice on the door saying, due to staff illness the museum would not be open. On walking away, I spotted another notice that said 'If the museum is closed, please speak to a member of staff and they will open it for you'. Well I thought it worth a try :-). They did; within a few minutes a lovely lad, a member of the maintenance team, arrived to open up. At no time did we feel rushed and he allowed us plenty of time to look around. Okay, it's not huge, but there is loads to see. My other half used to ride at Rye House Speedway and so this was a fantastic 'treat' for him.
Thank you Paradise Wildlife Park for not disappointing in your customer service.
Would highly recommend a visit.

Even though the weather's so cold, this is still a great place to visit. You get up close to the animals and are pretty much guaranteed to catch a sighting of them. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We're looking forward to going back soon.

Came here for my friends little boys 4th Birthday
He absoloutly Loved it :)
There was diggers, trains and animals, what isnt there for a 4 year old to like,
we didn't eat here but took out own picnic, there was plenty of places to sit and eat.
To be honest the entrance fee to the park is expensive, £20 per adult, unless you manage to get a Groupon ticket valid on the date your going (unfortunately i didn't).
But there is a shuttle bus that runs ever half hour for £1 each way, from Broxbourne Trainstation Right into the park :)
all in all it was a lovely lovely day out, id come here again, maybe in a few years or so.

First time at paradise park, easy to get around as everything quite close. Loved seeing the big cats close up but felt their enclosure were too small and feel it all needs updating. Very child friendly with play park , face painting, classroom etc. red pandas were lovely. Reptile house quite small but well laid out and quite a few different reptiles so worth a visit. Overall I had a nice day and would visit again just hope the big cats get more space very soon

Took my daughter for a wolf experience for my daughter s 21st .Brilliant time great value for the money. Keepers were really friendly, helpful,and went beyond the experience details to give e us a wonderful experience. They also spend a long time with us after the experience ended. Talking and having a hot drink. From the moment we went into reception we were given wonderful attention and made to feel special, even the owner spoke to us . N.b. we didn't know he was the owner at the time. After the experience we have the day round the wildlife park which has excellent facilities . Well done to all those involved, you made our time there very special. A big thank you to everyone

Lovely to see meerkats and red pandas as well as otters etc. less keen on seeing the big cats penned in, sometimes in a cage which seemed too small for them. Raised questions as to how much value zoos still offer in the world especially with programmes by the likes of David Attenborough on tv.

We had a great day here. Only thing is please have someone around when young children are in the park, we were viewing the repltiles when at least 20 children ran in screaming and banging on the glass, we had to get out and come back later on, felt sorry for the poor animals trying to sleep, apart from that a great day out

Went to paradise wildlife park last week taking a 3 1/2 year old. He loved it! The indoor play area was great and it took a while to get him away from it to see the animals. Once we did he enjoyed seeing all the different animals. We enjoyed it as well, will be returning.

although this is not one of the bigger zoo's around, it has a fantastic collection of animals. There is plenty for the kids to do, and the speedway museum is really good

Walking slowly around the park, reading about all the fate of the future of these animals, makes you realise we need
to do something to safeguard them.
White Tigers, Snow leooards are top of the list but....spend 30 minutes with the Meercats or any other animals ( penguins, lemurs) and you realise what a great job is being done by this amazing place.
It is in need of refurbishment in places, but I for one am happy to see the money spent on the animals.
It is not expensive, is fantastic for kids and adults alike.
Take the time to see everything and go back...as I will....

Gets very busy on the weekend and school holidays but that is to be expected. Some amazing animals to be seen and lovely for a "something different to do" day out.

whilst not outstanding, there is a lot for children to do here. Some of the animal enclosures were small.. We come from Kent and are used to the wonderful natural and large areas devoted to the animals at the Aspinall parks of Port Lympne and Howletts. Some of the enclosures at Paradise were overcrowded and the animals looked bored. Food on offer was the usual uninspiring burgers and chips, pizzas etc which were well cooked but uninspiring.
The park is well designed and fairly small so not overwhelming.
Enjoyable day but the sad expression on the white lions face haunted me for some time..

We have been to this zoo quite a lot now and although not a lot has change it is still a very pleasant park. We saw the white lions and white tiger in the their houses so they were very close to us and we got an amazing view. Some of the enclosures are a bit small particularly the lions and snow leopards and we felt a bit sorry for them. There are a lot of feeding times and talks so you can get a better view (not that you need one) and see the animals being fed however nobody turned up to the red panda feeding. We also saw the tigers being given cow skin, not that we minded however the keepers were handling it with their bear hands and had no type of gloves on which we thought was disgusting.
Overall we had a nice day however please get some gloves for your staff its not much to ask.

Me & my partner have been here twice now, we love the fact that you can get up close to the animals & even feed them, we stroked & fed zebras, tapirs, deer, alpacas, ouessant sheep, reindeer & small deer. The bird enclosure was good, loved the crow(well intelligent, I called it over & it came & I spoke to it lol & he squawked back at me ha ha) the cara cara was fascinating, a bit like the crow. The black ouessant ram called Patrick is always my highlight on visiting the park, i love stroking n fussing him but he gets a bit rude by reversing up then charging at the metal fence with a loud 'bang' at you lol, I do love him though :)
There's the Treetop Café where you can grab a cuppa & bite to eat then go & sit right at the main big window & watch the Tiger feeding where the keeper throws a massive bit of meat up on a big wooden ledge then lets the tigers out & feed, its close to watch & a great experience.
There's a wildlife walk where you can see the deer & there's a wolf trail where you can see them in an enclosure, there's a main stage where they put on performances for the kids & a big play area too. Plenty to do all day long.
I will be visiting again in the future as its a great day out for families & couples too.
