Very good wildlife park. Quite expensive to get in and we were mislead by Tesco club card as the one featured on their list is in Cornwall! Grandsons really enjoyed the day. Plenty to do. Thought the few attractions e.g fire engine, water game would be free!

I visit Paradise Wildlife Park frequently with my son as I have a season ticket (great value!!). The animals seems to be very well cared for and the keepers are always friendly. I recently fed the ring tailed lemurs as my birthday present from my husband and would highly recommend it! A great place to spend some time all in all.

Paradise Wildlife Park is just fabulous, there are a wide range of animals which all look healthy, well looked after and happy in their surroundings which for me is a must! I loved seeing four of the five species of big cat and look forward to returning in October to see the new jaguar! I was blown away at how close I could get to take a photo of one of the beautiful white tigers, which appeared to be posing for the camera! the white lions are a gorgeous little family and my nephew whom I took for his 3rd birthday was very happy to see them on their new 'bed' as he says, since he witnessed Moto destroying the other one a year ago at our last visit! my favourites are the meerkats, I love that you have the clearest view of them and I can watch them for hours, they are all cute little characters, in fact my nephew felt I was spending too long there and dragged me away! the site itself is very clean, and has good amenities. There is so much to do and see for the little ones (and the big ones) and it is obvious that they are making improvements all the time, as I say I can't wait to return in October to see not only the jaguar but the new wolf enclosure/walk. my nephew loves it there and has very strong memories from his visit when he was 2 and again now from our most recent visit, he talks most about Moto the lion and Bobby the parrot, who always says 'hello', love him, such a character! no two visits are the same as there is always something new to do or discover, it is an amazing day out. I particularly like the minibus service from the train station since I can't drive, it makes it hassle free getting there, although I preferred it when it was a complimentary service (who wouldn't) but £1 each way per person is a reasonable charge and as I said it does make things easier! would recommend this as a perfect day out for anyone who loves animals - five stars! can't wait to visit again very soon!

First off, let's try and make something very clear. The care of animals and the conservation of species is the reason that places such as this exist. It's not there so you can go ooh and aah at the big cats for free. It costs thousands of pounds a day to keep such a place as this open, whether 1 person turns up or 5000, whether it's sunny or rainy, whether you stay for an hour or all day.
Sadly, most of the thousands go to the government. Because of this, I don't begrudge a single penny of the admission charges I pay for the privilege of being allowed to get safely close to animals I would never otherwise have a chance to see.
Secondly, anyone who ever experienced the old (and deservedly maligned) Broxbourne Zoo must surely remember the awful, cramped conditions the poorly kept animals were housed in. Those who have been or are planning to go to Paradise... take a look at the coati mundi enclosure: that's where they used to keep one of the big cats! Paradise has changed itself beyond all recognition from that abysmal place.
Right. Rant over.
I've visited Parade quite a few times over the past couple of years: mostly with my wife, sometimes with my teenage sons and a couple of times with close friends. It never ceases to prove itself to be a great day out.
I've also been lucky to have been given as presents some of the "Experience Days", such as the Tea With Tigers (a guided tour of the big cats followed by a very tasty tea in the Tiger Treetops café) and the Photography Experience (expert tuition followed by "up close and personal" visits to some of the enclosures). I loved getting among the lemurs!
I've never visited with young children but those I have seen seem to be enjoying themselves. Apart from the obvious attraction of the animals, there are the usual playground facilities, a paddling pool, face painting and a stage area which has entertainment shows.
To put it simply, you'll get out of the day whatever you're prepared to put into it. I'm always there with my camera in the hope of getting that fantastic shot that makes everyone say, "Wow!". On our recent visit we saw one immaculately dressed young lady making faces and looking for some way of washing because a goat had licked her hand.
We walked among lorikeets who spent ages chewing on my ears or biting my necklace and depositing messy little packages all over my hair and clothes. We then heard someone complaining about the smell coming from one of the cat areas. Er... these cats are territorial and mark their boundaries with urine. What did you expect?
My point is, don't expect all areas to have been vaxed and bleached. These animals are in as natural an environment as possible, which is how they should be if they're in captivity.
So, Paradise Wildlife Park is, in my opinion, a great place to visit. The animals are well looked after and the staff obviously love caring for them. It's worth going back at different times of the year to see the differences seasons can make, especially to the grounds.
Finally, if the cost is a little too steep for you, it's well worth checking our their Facebook page as they'll often have a code for £10 off if you spend more than £25. Just remember that practically every penny goes to the welfare of the animals and to their supremely important conservation work.
And yes, I've already got my tickets for the next visit in a month's time.
