In February 2021, Gary F said about Welwyn Roofbox Hire
Simply an absolutely fantastic service from start to finish dealing with these guys. With a young family this was the first time we had hired a roof box, so we were looking to hire everything (roofbox+bars+fixing). When we spoke to Nigel he was thorough in his knowledge of the products and happy to share his experience of what would be the best fit for us. Welwyn was the most cost effective we had found but it was the friendly engagement with Nigel that made us choose him. When we arrived for the fitting to the car Nigel took the time to make sure that I was aware of each step taken and the products chosen were really simple to pick up. We chose to also rent the thule Go Bags with the roofbox on Nigel's advice and this was on the money and made packing and de-packing the roofbox a painless process, which was a great plus when dealing with our young children!! With the release of lockdowns expecting soon we will be using Nigel again, and have already recommended him to our family and friends

A great day out! Staff friendly and helpful, hot dogs were lovely!!
Nice to see the animals cared for so well and not distressed. One thing is the birds... Wish they could have a few extra foot each, there is a lot of spare room around the birds area that might be put to better use!!!
Thanks for a lovely day

A great place to visit to see the wonderful conservation work being done. Great number of animals with great opportunities to see them close up. Great range of talks and opportunity to see animals being filmed. Had a red panda experience which was wonderful. Got the opportunity to hand feed these wonderful animals and photograph them close up. All keepers really knowledgeable and very friendly. If taking children a great range of play areas.

Paradise certainly lives up to its name . It's an amazing place to take children . I have visited many times with my daughter and granddaughter and we always have a great time . There is so much for youngsters to do and the animals are amazing , especially the white tigers and lions . The play areas are excellent - although as usual the food and drink is a bit expensive . The park is well kept although this winter I did feel the crazy golf needed some maintenance to bring it up to standard . Overall a good value for money day out - we are buying annual passes this year !

Paradise Wildlife Park was a brilliant day out for me and my partner. The animals are well cared for and look in good health. The staff were very friendly and were happy to answer any questions put to them. The big cats were especially good to see,the white tiger looked amazing. The food was priced fairly and the portions were large. Overall I would highly recommend this park to people of any age.

Compact zoo with amusements and eateries. Enjoyed the bird flying demonstration. Most of the enclosures are far too small for the animals and birds, which needs to be addressed. The snow leopard was pacing up and down in a very small area. Other people have commented on this but there hasn't been a reply from the management.

Beautiful animals in wonderful condition, guide was informative. Only cat that was elusive was the White tiger, he stayed hidden all morning! Breakfast is pleasant. This park is big on conservation and all the animals are in top condition and seem very content. Good layout to this park and not widespread, lovely day out for the family.

Unless you have kids in tow this will take no more than 3 hours to visit all of the animal attractions, shows and talks. A lot of the park is geared up for young kids with quite a significant amount of play areas to keep them entertained further. Make sure you pack a picnic as park prices are ridiculous. Standard pack of walkers crisps and a hotel style pack of two shortbread biscuits £3. Bottles of drink well over £2. Cafe expensive and found the service far from acceptable for the prices being charged £7 for a burger and waiting in a queue for 20 mins plus on what I would consider a quiet day. Good selection of big cats not seen elsewhere together with some shows worth watching . We visited as part of a Virgin Experience Day - 'Afternoon Tea with Tigers'. The main part of experience was tea and keeper talks. Group of 20+ of us were walked round the all the cat enclosures whilst providing some insightful additional detail. This took about an hour but no access to any areas that you could not get to whilst walking around park under normal admission. Afternoon tea in Tree Tops cafe very disappointing. Do not expect it to be anything like a normal afternoon tea. All self service in a buffet style. Sandwiches were good but the cakes were all fresh out of a freezer and the scones were all cut in half with a bit of jam , squirty cream and a cut strawberry with the stem still attached! Pretty much the worst afternoon tea experienced. Suggest you give the experience a wide birth and just get a general admission to the park - just remember to bring your own food and drink. Oh and to top it all you need to pay an extra £3 for parking.

You will not be disappointed with a visit to PWP, whatever your age group. I must admit young children up to age 10 probably have the most fun.
every thing is such good quality: The indoor play jungle gym; the paddling pool (only in summer months) the outdoor play equipment; the bouncy castles helter skelter; tractor rides, all theses are included with entry - plus there is crazy golf; panning for gold; train ride; face painting; sand art; animal feed; at additional fees.
There are animal shows throughout the day by the keepers; birds of prey flying demonstrations. Food is reasonable priced here but there is plenty of space to picnic. Parking at the moment is free but I know they are going to start charging because they have just refurbished there parking facilities which cost them over a million pounds.
When you go to see the animals, oh my gosh, you will have such a close up and personal experience with all of them, even the lions and tigers (stand back, you might get sprayed on by them). You can pet a zebra and feed them. In the farm area you are encouraged to feed the pig, sheep and goats and rabbits. you can take your own carrots and chopped cabbage (cheaper than buying on site).
Look at PWP's web site because they offer experience days, where you shadow a keeper for the day or have a big cat experience. Saw people feeding the tigers, how amazing. the café Kiosks are excellent especially the one called tiger tree tops. PWP has made great use of the space it provides.

In October 2016, Vanessa P said about Paradise Wildlife Park
This park appeared to be linked to the WHF facility in Kent which I have visited more than once and is more geared to animal conservation. This park is just a muddle of amusements and noise geared to children (to be fair it was half term) but the animals just seemed to be secondary to the rest of the very noisy pursuits in the grounds. The animals were in what appeared to be very small enclosures and looked very stressed pacing the perimeters. I am sorry but I don't think this is right in this day and age. Please rethink this form of "side show" and consider the animals wellbeing.
