Nice zoo, some enclosures could be a little bigger but staff seem to be doing a good job.

Got the Groupon deal for this, overall very happy.
I have been to a few zoos and wildlife parks around London, this is definitely the best in terms of getting up close to the animals via your feet (the other best one is Wolburn Safari using your car).
They have lots of animals not including Rhinos, Elephants, Giraffe aka big animals that need lots of room to roam.
The highlight of the park are the Lions, tigers, cats in general you can get arm length to them.
Be warned the place is catered to children and have lots of kids zone areas.
Only downfall is the facilities in terms of food, most of the places where closed on a Monday at 2pm. Had to settle for the vending machines to feed myself.
Would I go again?
Yes, but only with a deal like Groupon, wouldn't spend the full price on the ticket.
P.S check out the bike museum and nature trails, most miss this where you can see foxes and more animals.

We had a lovely day out with my kids. Lots of activities and attractions you can choose from. Excellent playground and in case of rain there is a nice soft play area as well. Recommended.

Probably going to be a little biased with this review as we had such a fantastic animal time at Paradise Wildlife Park, thought having spent £300 for the experience you’d expect that! We bought an 'Ideal Day' with Paradise and Ideal World shopping channel at £200 for four people to visit and meet a number of animals. As they also do a Red Panda meet I paid £99 for 30 minutes to feed the resident Red Pandas bamboo and fruit. It was the best experience of my life to get so close to the Red Pandas and I even got to touch one which was simply out of this world! I had a smile on my face all through the experience. The Ideal Day was over 2 hours and we fed, Wallabies, Meerkats, met snakes and Bearded Dragons and got to fly an Eagle Owl which was simply nerve tingling. I had goose bumps when this beautiful creature glided to my hand! To top off the experience we got to feed the two Lions, which in itself was amazing as only a thin mesh of metal stood between us and the Lions! It was a truly magical experience.
The park is mainly geared towards the animal experiences and the entertainment of children; there were lots of school trips when we were there! They do have a diverse collection of animals, especially the big cats such as Tigers, Lions and Snow Leopards, alongside favourites such as the Meerkats and Leumrs.
Highlight of Visit: Feeding the Red Pandas, flying an Eagle Owl and feeding a Lion!
Downside of Visit: A smallish zoo, without the experiences would take a few hours to see the whole collection.

My family and I love Paradise Wildlife Park. It is great all year round. My children are 1 and 4 and LOVE the animals, as do we. It's so amazing seeing the lions and tigers up so close along with all the others - but those are my personal favourites.
The outdoor play area is a huge hit as is the indoor soft play area. Can easily spend a whole day here and still want to come back for more.
we last visited just before Christmas and the Father Christmas was fantastic. Really spent time talking to the children and helped to make it all magical.

I spent the day at the Paradise Wildlife Park with a Groupon voucher. I was NOT disappointed. Despite the ordeal it took (National Rail, emergency diversions, etc) to get to Broxbourne, my whole experience at the PWP was absolutely fantastic. The Park's shuttle bus picked me up from the train station and fifteen minutes later I was petting a zebra. Once you get past the plethora of kiddie rides and mini golf (which make for a nice day out for kids), the wildlife park was amazing. I spent the day in the Tiger Treetops (an aerial view over the big cats enclosures) and one plexiglass-ed wall away from a white tiger. The enclosures are beautiful and get you as close as you can possibly be to the animals. They have so many different species and a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Take advantage of the Birds of Paradise show or watch one of the animal feedings. And if there are slightly too many small children running around, do the Woodland Walk, it's a beautiful, completely peaceful place and you get to see dinosaurs (not real ones, though that'd be cool). I highly recommend this truly wonderful place.

Paradise Wildlife park is absolutely brilliant for the whole family. It gives people a chance to see animals and insects they probably never would be able to see otherwise, our favourite animal is the Meerkat's, you are able to get up close and really see what they are about. The learning aspect by the park is brilliant, they keep the children fully entertained and enthralled.
The food and drink side of things are good value for money too and the service is spot on. keep the good work going.
