Wow…what an incredible place to visit!! The range of animals is fantastic, and everywhere you turn there is another little area to explore!

Everyone is so friendly and happy all the time!

The animals and their enclosures were wonderful, and you can tell that the owners really think about giving their animals the best environments possible.

We visited during half term, and it wasn’t too busy at all! In fact, it was dressed up beautifully for Halloween. Come out with pumpkins everywhere and lots of themed activities to do.

We had the pleasure of going in the dinosaur land, which was incredible! It was really atmospheric and engaging for both children and adults. And along the way, there were lots of opportunities to get great photos to!

We were really lucky, that on our trip we just happened to bump into two of the brothers from one, zoo three (our daughters favourite show), and they were so humble and approachable and talked to us about their plans for the wildlife Park over the next 5 to 10 years, and even took the time to talk to our daughter, which was a real hit!

There are so many little parks, mini golf, cafes (reasonably priced too) as well as brilliant talks from the staff and entertainment shows.

All in all, I would recommend everyone to go to this wildlife park…it’s fantastic!

Massively overpriced. £3.80 for a hot chocolate? What's the markup on that? Like 800%? £2 for a 2 minute train ride? They're taking in around £400 an hour on that. And I just can't bear to see all the wild animals in small cages being peddled for profit. The poor zebra, in an area about a quarter of an acre, half of it a concrete slab, does not represent anything close to its natural environment. It was also the only zebra I could see, and zebras are extremely social animals. This one appeared to be suffering from severe depression.

An incredible zoo with wonderful enrichment for the animals and really cleverly constructed enclosures and walk ways to view the animals discretely from many different aspects. There’s also a couple of play parks and a great dinosaur park to walk round. We filled 5 hours easily and that only included one of the keeper talks that happen every half an hour. There’s even a soft play if it’s wet for no extra cost. My 4 year old and seven year old had a fantastic day!
Lunch in the diner was quick and reasonable priced for a captive audience. If we lived nearby I would definitely buy membership.

We won a tour of paradise park earlier in the year and decided to use the voucher this half term. Booking was made very easy. When we arrived we were well looked after in the discovery centre. However the star was definitely Simon! I can not praise this man enough. He was very enthusiastic and passionate about the animals and was incredible with my two young daughters. He showed us around the park and we got a chance to hold/feed some animals. Simon along the way was very polite and provided great educational points along with a warm manor with my 4 year old. The food was actually really good compared to most other parks/zoos we have visited.
There was a lot of attractions for the whole family. And we would definitely revisit.

Thank you paradise park and a bigger thank you to Simon.

We decided to buy annual passes. So we come maybe once a month for an afternoon out. Having been a few times there is no need to rush around as we seen everything before. After 4 visits it works out to be a free day out. The food is extremely expensive do take a packet lunch £8.50 for a jacket potatoVisited on

Another lovely event at Paradise Wildlife Park. The After Dark Dinos evening was a hit with the little ones getting their photos taken with the ‘dinosaurs’, having their faces painted, playing miniature golf (for a small additional fee), and walking round the dinosaurs, which felt more realistic at night. The silent disco with inflatable dinosaurs and glow puppet show at the end topped off the evening.

The majority of the animals in the park were well cared for but the area with farm/domestic animals was a disappointment. It seemed like an afterthought. The enclosures were poor (for example sheep on a mix of concrete and mud with no enrichment), there seemed to be rabbits and guinea pigs and possibly a chinchilla housed alone and the guinea pigs had very small amounts of low quality hay the majority of which was on the ground and wet. We checked back a few times and they had not been given more. The enclosures for the more exotic species were excellent and the dinosaur exhibit was fun as well. I think they should focus on what they do well and not have the domestic area at all. It's a shame because in all other respects the park was a great day out. Lovely staff, good value for money and a good selection of reasonably priced food.

One of the best places I've been recently! Had loads to entertain my 9, 3 and 1 year old. Wasn't too busy, barely any queuing and decent priced food and drink. World of Dinosaurs was a massive hit with the kids along with the many play areas. Will definitely be bringing them back again.Visited on
