Excellent zoo! The animals and the zoo itself are brilliant, but what made our day was the dinosaur park. Outside of Universal studios itself these are the best looking dinosaurs you will find! Lovely eating places, great atmosphere etc. Cannot recommend this place enough!

What a great day out! So well-organised here, with good parking, reception, staff at hand and such a well- cared-for zoo. I can't fault it. It was lovely seeing the animals with their fresh veg and looking so healthy. Both children and adults in my party absolutely loved it. We had coffee and ice creams whilst there but no other food. The dinosaur part was very good, which we did at the start and the zoo had good viewing areas. It was busy but not too crowded. We got there at opening time and it was much busier when we left at about 2 p.m.

Really lovely day at the Zoo, there's lots of different things to do with kids so they stay entertained throughout the day (bonus points if you have a dinosaur lover of course).
The place is really smart. The dinosaurs are brilliant, decent array of interesting animals with good information about their conservation status, many nice play areas, great splash park. However it's annoying that you have to pay for the train ride - given how much you pay to get in, I find it outrageous when they then charge additional money for things.
My only complaint is the size of the animal enclosures. They really are small and it does put me off. I could hear people commenting all they way around about the enclosure sizes, so I definitely wasn't the only one thinking it.
They do, from what I can see, do a decent amount of conservation work and supporting conservation charities, which is brilliant.

Today I visited Hertfordshire Zoo with my family( previously Paradise Wildlife park) WOW,WOW,WOW..... it is MAGNIFICENT!!! The animatronic dinosaurs are breathtaking! They are super realistic .... they even have a small one which walks around the park ...AMAZING!! there is everything a family could want...It is beautifully maintained,there are really good safe play/grounds/ areas for the children ,a little train that goes through ,where some of the brilliant animatronic dinosaurs are placed and a walk through area where many more are situated. Some of the dinosaurs are huge.Also you have all the animals to enjoy in beautifully spacious enclosures. There are food places ,,generally burgers and chips ,pizza,ice cream...which suited our requirements( a special treat for our children.) IWe were there all day and couldnt believe how quickly the time flew.Our children loved it and we will be coming back soon! I would recommend this Zoo as one to visit because, as well as being one of the best, amazing, fun, exciting days out you and your children could experience...you are supporting wildlife conservation,and Peter Sampson is the dedicated founder,who you may be lucky enough to meet as he sometimes is on site! Not for us unfortunately ,this time, but I did buy his book,which I look forward to reading. So please, dont miss out on this magical visit , I guarantee you wont be disappointed .

Good day out for the whole family,
Nice little park for kids to play , loads of eating space , ( I would advise you to take a packup as foods a bit pricey ) a gift shop , good dinasaur area with its own little train to go round and get a better look ( £2 pp ) , only downfall, loads of empty cages , not sure we would return but never the less still an enjoyable day out .

We had a great time at the zoo, the Dinosaur area was pretty impressive and the animatronics we're far better than I'd have expected. Some of the scenes where dinosaurs were tearing flesh out of prey with blood everywhere were perhaps a little unnecessary but our 6 year old shrugged it off luckily. The rest of the zoo was good, the bird of prey show was cute, and our daughter was really pleased to have been given a Capybara Adoption/Sponsorship as part of her birthday present and she was delighted to see her name on the board by the enclosure. It was a hot day so a lot of the animals were hiding (I don't blame them) to stay cool such as the penguins and the big cats, but we saw plenty and had a good time.

Lots of animals to see, plenty of food/drink/icecream/giftshops/play areas & a water paddling pool beach area! So take swim costumes. The dinosaur park was very good with the animated dinosaur collection. Had a ride on the little dinosaur train (we got there early) as the queue later on was long£2.00 per person. It did get very busy from bout 12 onwards but it was a hot bank holiday day as well so.....some of the animals were hidden but again it was v warm but we saw quite a few really. A good day out & my grand daughter thoroughly enjoyed it.

Last week we took our grandson to visit this zoo. Having read recent mixed reviews we were unsure as to how the day would unfold. We have to say we were amazed and impressed by the wonderful animals, beautifully clean enclosures and very friendly and happy staff. Our grandson was so excited to meet Aaron, Tyler and Cam, it really made his day. The dinosaur area was brilliant and we all had a wonderful time. We would like to say a big thank you to Peter for taking the time to chat with us. We cannot fault this zoo in any way and we look forward to making a return visit in the not too distant future. Peter is an absolute visionary and his family are amazing. Well done everybody.
