This place has some really rare wild big cats and great animals compared to some of the zoos I have been to.

Lots to do for the whole family

I think it was good value for money the food good be better quality and little cheaper.

We know Giles Clark (who is now at Australia zoo, looking after their Tigers). A great little place with lots to see and do.

Had a really good day here, it's so geared up for the kiddies. So much for them to do other than just see the animals, it has a park area, slides, bouncy castle and tractor ride.

I think it's very reasonable priced for all what's included. The foods quite expensive but that's to be expected in places like this.

However there are picnic benches so you can sit down and eat the food you have taken with you.

Animals look well looked after and there's plenty to see.

Overall very nice family day out, would go back happily.

Myself and my children have been going here for 13 years + and it's has really improved over time the price has doubled over the past few years and it does seem that making money is much more important now eg the price of an icecream is £2.60! And for a bag for animal food with about 1 carrot chopped up is a £1 however the restaurant is a good quality of food and not too bad prices £6.95 burger and chips .Animals - they don't have very big cages eg 4 adult lions in one small enclosureand the sheep were in desparate need of sheering ,the rest is the same as it has been for 10+years the main chance is the prison type fence sytem which isnt nice.for smaller kids there is the free bouncy castle ect and the park and the pool but it get super packed on a nice day. To make the day better value get vouchers on internet and take a picnic with snack otherwise it can work out to be a pretty expensive day.

I drink around 5 cups of tea a day so I have a lot of tea drinking experiences to take from but today, sitting in the Tiger Treetops Cafe with three tigers wandering around below me was an awesome experience. The visit to the park was worth it for that alone,

A nice zoo but very few animals. Small zoo compared to many others and price doesn't really reflect this.

Experiences seemed good but all booked up. They do individual animal choice which is good.

Food prices were high as you at a zoo.

However zoo keepers were all friendly and happy to talk about their animals. Very clean. Good size enclosures. Animals seemed very happy. A red panda even waved hello!

Visited the park today to do meet the meerkats it was amazing!!!! Despite the rainy weather me and my partner had a superb day! And will definitely be returning! The meerkat experience was so hands on the meerkats climb all over you, and the keeper who did it with us was very informative! Well worth a visit!

We went here to celebrate my nieces 3rd birthday and we had a fantastic time. From seeing all the animals to playing on the slides bouncy castle, water lagoon, indoor and outdoor play area. The day was action packed and fun filled and according to my 5 year old it was "the best day ever " x

Visited Paradise Wildlife Park during the May half term and I was expecting it to be packed but there is so much space and things to see and do that you don't notice how busy it is. The kids absolutely loved it. There are a number of animals to see such as Lemars, Alligators, Lions, Reindeer, Penguins and loads more. Fantastic play areas for the children and short tractor ride the facilities are well laid out and clearly signposted. You could spend all day so much to squeeze in.

We visited with our toddler and had a fantastic day. The park is a great size, plenty to see but not too big. The tree top trail around the big cats is fab and gives lots of opportunity to see them. Our little one loved feeding the animals in the farm. Everything is really accessable so whether you have a pushchair or a wheelchair you'll be able to get around easily and see everything. The adventure parks were great plenty to do and well maintained. All the staff we encountered were really friendly and helpful. Perfect family day out.

Although I am 22, my girlfriend, my parents and I had a great day at Paradise! There are so many animals to see, and you can also feed some of them, such as the emus and reindeer (my favourite). There was also a chance to go into the Lorikeet enclosure and feed them, which involved them sitting all over you, which was an amazing experience.

There is also loads to do for people that have kids, as there are parks and play areas dotted around, so they won't be bored.

Would definitely come back.

We visited Paradise Wildlife Park on band holiday Monday and I was expecting it to be completely packed with children but was presently surprise. Although, it was busy but not too busy.

I would defiantly say this is just an afternoon outing rather than an whole day thing. We managed to get around the park within about 4 hours. Because of this I do feel the price is a bit steep for the size of the park.

We were very happy to see lots of the animals easily and playing and running around. The Tigers were very visible which was excellent!

The food was a slight let down, very expensive and quite a wait for some food. ( jacket potatoes) would defiantly recommend taking a picnic as there's plenty of seating areas to sit.

The park is very good for disabled and small children as its all on the same level and no steep hills.

Overall, a good afternoon out and would recommend to others.

I was bought this by my family as a birthday present and it was an amazing day. on arriving I was given a cup of tea by reception who told me I was a little early for the photographer but could wander around on my own till 9.50ish when he would be there.
James our photographer was patient and full of tips as to how to take the photos.
We then went around the park and were given access to standing areas not normally given to the public.
The staff everywhere wanted our day to be special and couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.
We were then given a fantastic lunch which would have fed three times as many as were there and off again to take photos. My day finished at 6.00pm having taken some amazing photos.
Thank you to all for making my birthday special.

We found this place by accident whilst driving,the place is centered for children and families plenty for them to do.We have no children and were rather disappointed,the enclosures are clean but small,talks were good.Confusing layout of the centre,you have to go across a road which has a staff member to see you across to view one side of the centre,we didn't eat here,but found a wetherspoons about 10min away,this is not for couples but great for families,not to bad for the entrance fee I suppose,been to better places for less money,staff are very helpful,if you want to see animals and keep your kids entertained then this is the centre for you.

We went with three grandchildren, 13,11 and 6. They all enjoyed it. It seems as if the animals are well cared for and all in reasonable size enclosures.
It's very good value for money especially in comparison with other zoo parks. Recommend taking a picnic.
Also a good playground.
Vouchers available on various websites

Really enjoy our day to this local attraction, got discounted tickets on groupon, a must.
The place is well laid out, extra things to do, at a price not unreasonable.

I attended Breakfast With the Big Cats having purchased a cut price ticket on Amazon. It was great to experience the park before the crowds arrived, and our guided tour of the cats was highly informative. Our continental breakfast was a bit lacklustre, but I was grateful as a coeliac to be provided with 3 slices of gluten free bread. I didn't stay long after the tour as I noticed that after opening time many of the beautiful creatures appeared highly stressed by the noise of the young children, pacing up and down their rather small enclosures. I must say I felt equally stressed! This really is a place to be enjoyed by and with young children, What a pity that in this country animal attractions so often cater only for the under-fives and not for adults interested in conservation.

I have visited Paradise Wildlife Park quite a few times now and it's been a great, family day out each time, our young one's love it there and so does our teenager who can be difficult to please - definately would recommend to others, as there is so much to see and do.
It's a spacious site, so we took full advantage of this benefit by bringing along our own food to enjoy a family picnic which all involved enjoyed thoroughly.
The safari train ride was greatly welcomed as there's a lot of ground to cover, so the rest was appreciated. Comfy footwear is an essential, there's also a small feeding area where farm animals are housed, feeding packs available onsite for £1, free bouncy castle, outdoor park plus outdoor entertainment stage where staff are full of energy and committed to getting the kidz up on stage for full inclusion. Free parking facilities also available and you must check out the Tortoise - IT'S HUGE.

BRILLIANT DATE OUT!!

We went here with our grandchildren who are 7 & 3 and my daughter and son-in-Law. I have been to many wildlife parks and this is one of the best because not only have you got the beautiful animals to see but there are play parks for the children to let of steam. There are animal shows going on all day and you can get so close to the animals it feels like you are in the cage with them. It is also very good value for money. If you book on line you get 20% off.

The best gift I have possibly received. It was just amazing! Having the meerkats sit at eat as you hold bowls out for them and then having the meerkats crawl over you. It was just truly amazing and it felt longer than it actually was and so it was the best gift ever.
Brilliant experience.

We visited after receiving a voucher for a walk on the wildside tour for my birthday. On arrival, we were given tea and biscuits, whilst awaiting our keeper. When he arrived, Jonny was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great fun...I really can't praise this guy enough. We were taken to a VIP area, where we got to meet some animals. After our tour, we spent a few hours looking around the best of the park. It's a decent size, not too big, and with a great variety of animals. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Took a friend for this experience, as a Christmas present.
Unfortunately the only day in weeks it rained so hard and most of the animals stayed under cover. (not the fault of the park - we would have changed the day but you have to pre book the experience)
The Meerkat handling was WOW made up for the bad weather and you cant put a price on it but it wasn't long enough in with them for the cost (from time on camera pictures just under 20mins) the keeper was very good chatty, told us plenty and took loads of pictures
Thank you PWP for allowing us this great experience

Lovely wildlife park. Big bit not too big, especially like how close you get to the big cats! Had a Meerkat experience for my birthday. My wife and I spent half an hour with a keeper in with the Meerkats which was fantastic, had them sitting up on our shoulders and climbing all over us. Thanks to the keeper, she took loads of photos of us with my camera to record the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the signage and map, took quite a while to find our way around as we had never been there before.
