A great day out with plenty to see and do, especially for younger ones and enough to interest the adults too.

Easy train ride from London. My daughter did the red panda experience with Jessi the keeper. She had a great time feeding them apples and bamboo. Small zoo but many nice animals.

My first visit to Paradise Wildlife park despite my wife and daughter being season ticket holders. We went on bank holiday Monday and seeing the queues I was more than ready to turn back. However,, I'm delighted that my wife convinced me not to! Firstly as season ticket holders we managed to avoid the queue and secondly absolutely every member of the team we came across had a great welcoming smile - from the girls cooking the burgers to the guy driving the shuttle bus to the overflow car park. I've never been a huge fan of zoo's as I never get to see anything but at Paradise we saw it all! Great kids activities, usual choice of food one has come to expect but a great day out overall and I'm looking forward to going back and making the most of my season ticket.

Visited over the easter weekend expecting it to be packed lucky it wasn't and a pleasure to walk round...
I don't agree with animals being caged but this centre is heavily into conservation...and for a lot of species theses days it it the only way for them to servive...At the moment there is a lot of work going on to upgrade the enclosures..but everything is kept to minimal disturbance and let's face it the animals come first....
In certain areas you can actually pay a small fee enter the enclosures to hand feed the species all done sympathetically with the animals best interest always in the forefront.
On site there is a good selection of children's rides etc. Cafe's in different locations throughout the site.
Also the national speedway museum (must admit didn't go in this time but will next visit).
Nr the museum there is a little lido for tiny ones that will be absolutely great on the summer months...
A great safe FULL day out for all the family

I have been taking my kids to PWP for years. The oldest is now well into his teens and I have lovely pictures of him when he was 3 or 4 enjoying himself there. The place has changed over years and grown and is now a real full day out for the whole family. The animals are beautiful and you can get really close to them. The petting area is always a winner and the rest of the facilities grey fun. It's an excellent day out and with younger kids somewhere I will be visiting for many years to come.

Spent half a day at Paradise Wildlife Park and totally enjoyed myself. The animals was great to look at. The animals looked happy and healthy. The enclosure's was clean.
Good lay out. Easy to walk around. Plenty of walk ways around the top of the big cat cages to over look them.
Toilet facilities was clean. The souvenir shop was a good size and good lay out and seemed very resemble priced.
Never went into the café so I cannot comment on that. Loads of picnic areas to sit and eat.
Lot's of things for the kids to do crazy golf and fun sand. (but at an extra cost) plus loads coin rides for the kids.
Will go again. Got a good deal with groupon

A great place to visit and take the family, good parking and good food to be had on site.
The best thing for me was the tiger enclosure.

I must admit it's really 3* for me, but I've gone for 4 in recognition of the fact that it's not really aimed at someone like me (a single adult). It's very much somewhere to take young kids to. I myself went because a Groupon caught my eye. It only really offered a few pounds off, but I thought it was an opportunity to get out of London and see a different area. There are a few good animals like the white lions, white tigers and red pandas, but it's quite a small zoo with not many animals really and quite a few of them seemed to be hiding anyway. An hour was enough for me. I must admit there are quite a few talks and feeds, which I didn't bother with and can't, therefore, comment on. I found the food to be rather rubbish. I'm surprised other reviewers have said it's good. Maybe I just didn't know where to go. Looking online, the Tiger Treetops Café caught my attention, but when I went to check it out, I found virtually nothing available, certainly no hot food anyway. I landed up having a rather sad hot dog, which had to last me the day in the end. There're a lot of picnic tables about though, so bringing your food does seem a better option. Tickets are only a few pounds cheaper than London Zoo, which seems ridiculous to me, and there're lots of things you have to pay extra for. There is a minibus that runs to and from the station every half hour for £3 return. If you don't have a car, this is really the only transport there is. I asked at information about walking in the woods nearby, but they didn't seem to know anything about it and even advised me not to try as walking along the road to get there was dangerous. It seemed like quite a strange "information point". In the end, I just worked it out myself and had a very nice afternoon in both Broxbourne and Wormley Wood. If you want to do it, there're closer car parks you can move your car to or it's just a short walk up the road before you can get onto a path. I'm conscious of my rather negative review. I myself didn't think the place was anything special, but if you have young kids, there are plenty of play areas (more than animals) for them to enjoy, but for me, the woods were much more interesting.
