Outstanding experience. The blonde man with glasses (sorry!!! not good with names) gave us some truly fascinating info on these lovely animals and they were incredibly sweet and gentle (and lazy).
Enjoyed the park, staff were lovely, a lot of kiddie stuff has popped up in recent years so I imagine that's ideal for parents with smallish kids. Toilets nice & heated (important in winter, ha).
One gripe: "Safari Sams" diner. The other cafes weren't open so we had no choice. Expensive - £5.50 for a jacket potato without drink - and we went for a "gourmet steak burger" at £6.95. Asked what was in the burger and was told they'd check the packet. Ha. The food was plentiful, but crap. £1 for a slice of cheese on the burger? Absolute crap, and it cost 3 of us £30 to eat fast food and a bottle of cola each.

I've visited Paradise 3 times in the last year and I love it. It's a nice size zoo, not too big that it's an effort to walk around and somewhat tiring.
We started with the cafe for some lunch - a good jacket potato to set us up for our visit on a cold cold day. Then off to the Red Panda feeding . The Red Pandas are my all time favourites and this is an amazing zoo to see them. Jonny gave a brilliant talk. Loads of facts and delivered with fun too.
One of the benefits of visiting on a cold day is that it wasn't very busy. Meaning great opportunities to take photos.
The white lion gave us a brilliant display of his roaring! Amazing!
The emu took a fancy to my phone on a selfie stick! Very funny - Got some amazing photos 😊
Always a brilliant day here. Lots of play areas for the kiddlings too. A regular show in peak season. As I said, not the biggest zoo, not the biggest enclosures but some lovely animals, all well looked after and, I will add, one of Chris Packham's favourite zoo's. I met him there last year! Bonus!

I can't rate this place enough! There is a large variety of animals and they seem so well looked after. So much to do for children and very good value for money. Many experiences to choose from- we did feed the lemurs and loved every minute! It was a wonderful day out

I took my wife here as a special treat, we loved it! It's clearly a well kept zoo, variety of animals, and they really care for the animals. We even bumped into a couple keepers taking ferrits for a walk (cute!) would reccomend for a unique couple day and definitely for families. Will come again!

We had a lovely day out here, there is a large array of animals for a small park. It isn't as big as some zoos but does very well, nicely set up and the animals look well cared for (other than the wolves). They do frequent shows during the day and animal feeds, not too bad value for money - we managed to grab a deal on Wowcher or you get a discount when you buy online.

I totally agree with a previous review as we also stayed in one of the rooms at the park and "snoozed at the zoo" in the leopard room. We've visited the Park many years ago when we did the Lemur experience and this time we had the red panda experience. The park is fantastic and you can get so close to the animals it's a truly amazing experience. One of the red pandas, Tilly, didn't want to wake up to be fed but we still fed Teajmunn who was more than happy to eat his grapes! They are just one of the cutest animals and so gentle. We were very lucky because we stayed on a Monday night and there must have been less than 20 visitors at the park on both days - not good for the park but it felt like we had the park to ourselves which was very special. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable and the keepers are more than happy to talk to you about the animals. So please, help the park in their conservation efforts and visit them. You really won't be disappointed.

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.
