Great family day out. Loved the dinosaurs. Probably the best dinosaurs we've seen as an attraction. Everything was well laid out. Really impressed with traffic light system to see people across the road. Adorable red pandas. Already planning next vidit

My 8 year old is a huge fan on One Zoo Three on CBBC so a day out at Paradise Park was on the cards for Mothers Day.
What a superb Zoo. The animals are impressive, very accessible and all looked very well and happy. The public areas were all clean and well maintained and all the staff very friendly. Our tortoise talk was fun and informative and held our little boy’s attention throughout. A lot to see and do in one day so a return trip is being planned.
One the negative side the food availability is, as with all attractions like this, very disappointing. Low on quality but high on price and due to something that was never entirely explained we had to wait an hour for noodles with chicken although there was chicken right there when we ordered it.
Being a fan of the TV show my boy was disappointed that there wasn’t any merchandise with them on it (apart from one page in a calendar). An opportunity missed me thinks.
However it was nice to see one of the brothers actually there. My boy got very star struck and shy at that point.
A great day out. But take a picnic.

First visit in many years proved to be a pleasant surprise. It's been transformed from a dreary, uninteresting little place into a thriving, busy small town. Nothing remarkable about the shops except that all is easily accessible on foot (traffic is a bit of a nightmare in good weather) and the River Lea provides welcome respite, walkways and distractions. The Castle and its grounds are attractive and a provide a short distraction. Lots of eateries - chains and local.
Definitely worth a short visit.

Had a great afternoon at "Rock in the Castle" in the beautiful sunshine !
Good music, views and bars to enjoy on a very hot afternoon. Very well attended and even had to queue to get it but it was worth it. A most enjoyable free afternoons entertainment. Lovely gardens (even after the heat wave) and river flowing through the grounds with cute bridges over. Well done to the organisers !

Came here this Saturday to see the cascade of poppies. Beautiful to see from a distance and close up! Hours of work has gone into the making of these poppies and please go see before they go!! You won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend 😁

11 years ago we stood proudly on another Remembrance Sunday as Joe was 1 of 4 cadets who were on sentry duty at Hertford Cenotaph. This was partly because serving armed forces personnel and reserves were involved in combat overseas. Today 3 of 4 Masseys attended the moving tribute, as we do each year. To mark the Centenary of the end of WW1, Hertford Castle has a cascade of hand crafted poppies. #mayweneverforget. Proud to be a resident and this iconic moment marked brilliantly.

I've visited many times over the last 50 years, and the park and castle have been well looked after over this time. Theres a little piece of history here. Its worth visiting!

Great place to walk and see a few historic items in the grounds of the castle. Plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A couple of good pubs within a few mins walk.
