The animals are magnificent, and clearly cared for and cared about. The whole ethos of the park is to conserve species which are being lost, and all the staff and particularly the Keepers were enthusiastic about their animals, and keen to answer any questions about the animals in their care. We had a Tiger Tea experience, and the Keeper; Tony; was excellent - informative, knowledgeable, and interesting to listen to. Tea in the Treetops cafe overlooking the Tiger enclosure is highly recommended!

I went to the wildlife park with my wife,grandson and my nephew. We all had a great time there and there was so much for the kids to do...food was reasonably priced but i would advise you book online to get a cheaper deal...overall outstanding..

This Zoo is excellent very educational for children would certainly recommend for a day out. There is ample parking and good restaurant for meals.

An array of animals are at this wildlife park yet this was dampened by the lack of enthusiasm from some of the staff. I think that it is unprofessional to give visitors incorrect information about specific animals when asked, not very good to make up information or fob a visitor off - especially if that visitor already knows a wealth of information about a specific species of animal they are enquiring about! Other staff seemed to have a 'can't be bothered' attitude and therefore even talking to them about anything was like hitting your head against a brick wall. Others were more interested in beefing up how good the car park was than the wildlife park itself. Better customer service would not go a miss neither would be to send certain staff on the DMZAA or retrain to get their subject knowledge up to scratch.
The needs for the animals appeared to be good although some of the enclosures do require an update and some of the physical enrichment could do with an improvement.
While it was an experience, there are plenty of other wildlife parks that provide better experiences than Paradise.

We went to the Wildlife Park for Breakfast with the big cats. Ian was really nice and funny and knew his stuff about carnivores.
The cats were very shy and some were still having breakfast so we couldn't see them as much as we wanted. Was also planning on seeing a leopard and an ocelot but they were nowhere to be seen... Cats being cats they were probably sleeping (all day).
We spent the rest of the day at the zoo and tried to attend all the shows but it's too much to catch up. Really good size zoo to take the little ones as you can go from one side to the other in a jiffy.
Overall experience was really good.

I went with my daughter,husband and grandson had a great time.My grandson is 2years old and enjoyed not only the animals but also the play ground.One thing that really impressed me is that they have a play area for children with disablities not many places cater for their needs,also easy access for the disabled.Signs done in sign language which is a very unusual thing to see shame more places dont do this.Educational lots to do even a motor bike museum would recommend this park to everyone.This was my second visit and I will definately be going again.If people travel by train or bus there is a pick up service to get to the park at only £3 per person though we didnt use this service we were very impressed that this was offered

A brilliant day out. the staff were extremely helpful & friendly which made the experience very special. The zoo is extremely well kept and all the animals looked healthy & happy. Especially the penguins after I had fed them !!!!
Although we hadn't any children with us there was lots of activities for them to do.
My family have been visiting this zoo for over 20 years and have seen it grow from a very basic zoo to the excellent place it s now.
would highly recommend it.

Had a lovely day with our grandaughter who is just under 2 ,she had the time of her life going from animals to play things she was entertained the whole day ,finally finishing off in the paddling pool which she really loved we are lucky as we live nearby so will definitely be coming back .
The only downside was the food we purchased in the restaurant but in future we would bring a picnic as the picnic areas are more than adequate

Interesting to see and read about the history of speedway with lots of artifacts and memorabilia through the ages - lots to take in as a very interesting collection.
Lots of animals to see and take photos of. The personnel know lots about the animals that they are looking after. Great to have the higher viewing platforms to see into the enclosures so you have more chance to see the animals as they rest under trees such as the wolves and big cats.
It was great to read all about the conservation and breeding programmes that the zoo is involved in to help keep these species of animals alive for more people to see and to try and release them into the wild.
There is new enclosures being built as they try and provide excellent care for the animals - good to see a range of different owls in addition to parrots and other birds.
The day got even better - Brilliant and awesome opportunity to see behind the scenes and to get up close and personal with a Big Cat - had a choice of cat to feed and the keeper was very knowledgeable about the animal - highly recommended for all to do - nothing to be scared of as they are very gentle. What a great present to have!!
