We went to Paradise Wildlife Park for a friend's child's birthday. He was a zookeeper for the day. The staff member that looked after him was fantastic and they packed in loads of animals. It was very hands on, with him being able to hold skunks, meerkats, tarantula's, rats etc. He was also taken into the staff area to collect food and make toys for the animals.
My 1 year old daughter loved the Wildlife Park. It's such good vaue. There are loads of animals and other activities to do. She was particularly impressed with the snow leopards.
It was raining when we went so we didn't use the outside play equipment, but there's a soft play centre there with sections for older and younger children and a cafe. There was still so much more to see so I'd definitely go again.

What a great place Paradise Wildlife Park is! The animals seem healthy, interested in what's going on around them and the keepers we met around the Park were all smiling and loving their work - it was wonderful! The information about the animals gave an insight into their level of endangerment and also many of the animals were expecting babies or little ones were there already. It's great to know that these breeds are being supported and given a greater chance of survival.
There are great facilities, easy parking, picnic areas, cafes and lots of place for children to play.

What a fantastic place to visit. The animals were gorgeous...especially the cats who were more than happy to "pose" for some truly stunning photos. My BF and i also "Met the Meerkats"...they are the cutest things. They loved being fed, tickled and cuddled...an experience we'll never forget - well worth every penny spent on it. The park is beautifully kept. All the animal enclosures are very clean. The Staff/Trainers were friendly and very knowledgeable. I would highly reommend a visit here - you won't be disappointed.

6 members of my family booked the above experience at Paradise Park. I have to say that the day at Paradise Park was very enjoyable, lots of animals to see and overall it is a nice place to visit.
However, the 2 for 1 Tea with Tigers, I feel, is disappointing. The experience was not worth the money and I would not recommend it. You would be better off just paying the entrance fee at Paradise Park because you will see the same animals ~ the only thing you won't get is a guided tour and a few sandwiches (so long as you were not last in the queue!).

First time here and had a very good day out, Ria loved it with loafs to do, plenty of animals close up. - will go back again as very enjoyable day out, HOWEVER very expensive, charge a lot to get in, charge extra for a little trail ride and food expensive, train rise should be included !!!! Be prepared to get a little ripped off

An enjoyable visit for all over Easter. I'm not sure who enjoyed it most Grandchildren, Children or Grandparents!!!
Entry price is very reasonable. Excellent choice of animals. Lots of playgrounds which particularly suit the younger children. Last summer, the grandchildren also really enjoyed the paddling pools.
All in all, an excellent day out, and probably one of the most reasonably priced parks of this type.

This park is so much better than I thought, I went as part of a groupon deal and found the staff to be very knowledgable and friendly. The park is really big and you can tell that staff really care about the animals welfare. The staff are hoping to create bigger areas for the lions to go around in and the place offers many 'experiences' like stroking a tiger, feeding them etc.
The place is a wonderland for children, with rides, playground and of course the wildlife. Overall a fantastic day out and we are hoping to go back soon.

Travelled from South Yorkshire especially to take part in the red panda experience. It was absolutely excellent. The keeper was great, really knowledgable, friendly and took photos of us feeding the red pandas. The pandas were really active, took food from our hands and one even let us stroke her. We were in the enclosure for about 30 minutes. Would recommend this to anyone.
The zoo itself was also very good, having visited many throughout the country this one somehow seemed different, in a good way, but something I can't quite put my finger on! All the staff were friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about their work and really cared for the animals. The zoo has an excellent selection of big cats, experiences are available to feed these and this is something on my to do list!
Nice to see animals you don't always find in zoos - European wolves, raccoons, red foxes and goats (I love goats!!)
There were talks ongoing throughout the whole day and some were repeated so you don't have to sacrifice one for another!
Will definitely return.

Perfect for children, lots of slides, climbing frames and soft play. Walkways above the big cats (accessible by ramp) so you get a good view. Tractor ride and bouncy castle (free), very friendly staff.

Our visit to Paradise Wildlife Park was part of my 40th Birthday present off my Partner.
He chose the Lemur package for me.
I can not fault the package for the price of £49.99. We found the staff brilliant, very polite and helpful. We were all looked after free tea, coffee, and biscuits. Then a buffet lunch, with cakes galore !!!
After we had eaten, Glen our guide, escorted us around the monkey enclosures. He was very knowledgeable,and obviously knows the animals well.
After the guided tour we spilt into two groups of six and the first group went into the lemur enclosure, I would imagine it was about 15 -20 mins spent in there with them.
Your given some diced apple and they do walk and jump all over you, I got mugged of mine though as soon as we entered !! so try and keep some back.
I do have to say it was a wonderful experience to get up close to these animals and I would do it again.
As for the actual park, well I do have to agree with others, the enclosures for some of the animals such as the lions do appear to be small, and they did seem to be pacing up and down a lot, which is difficult to watch. You can see they are trying their best to give all the animals a decent standard of living but I think more space is needed for them.
The admission price seems a bit hefty too for what they have there, ( although this was included in our package so we did'nt have to pay it ) £16.00 for adults. I am used to West Midland Safari Park which is only £14.99 with free return visit.
