Visited for the second time in ten years to give our youngest grandaughter a good day out.
Found the attractions as good as before with better displays and more play areas which we left till last. She had a busy, informative and entertaining day.Our only criticisms there could be more attendants to answer queries and better signage generally especially getting away to the M25/A10
Otherwise very good.

Visited yesterday with family. What a brilliant day. There was so much to do especially for young children. Our grandchildren are aged between 7 to 4 and they absolutely loved it. As well as the animal park, there were at least 3-4 good play areas that had bouncy castles. There was no extra cost for these like a lot of other parks. Very good value for money and would definately come again.

Had a family day out at paradise wildlife park on 02/08/15.
It was easy to get there. Sat nav took us straight down to the main entrance.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Plenty of play areas for children under 11. My daughter enjoyed herself very much in the bouncy castles, swings and slides.
Was a bit disappointed about the big cats territory. The three lionesses and the lion were all out basking in the sun, but we could not see any tiger. We spotted a snow leopard lying high up. We saw a cheetah which was moving around in his area. Could not see the jaguar as his territory was dense with vegetation.
On the other hand we had a lot of funs seeing the camel, reindeers, lamas, Emus, gibbons, poneys, Sheeps, goats and the red panda.
The bird paradise was also good.
There are plenty areas for picnic as well.
In general we had a good day out.
I definitely recommend it to family with small children.

We took a two-year old to this park for a birthday treat. I was rather doubtful about going but am very pleased that I did. The cages aren't as large as those at Whipsnade, but, despite that, the animals seemed comfortable and happy. It was also quite clear that they were all well cared for. We all enjoyed the visit, from the two-year old up to those in their seventies and I think that all of us would be happy to go again.
Apart from the animals, the park has a reasonable restaurant and a good play area suitable for children from toddlers upwards.

We visit Paradise Wildlife Park regularly anyway but my family bought my husband and me a Red Panda Experience for my birthday. We were greeted with coffee and biscuits and a free T shirt and then Connor, the very helpful small mammal keeper, took us to prepare some fruit to feed the Pandas. We saw the area where food is prepared for various animals and then carried the fruit into the Panda enclosure. It was such a wonderful experience feeding them! We were really close up with them. We were advised not to try to stroke them but we were able to feed them pieces of fruit by hand. Later we held branches of bamboo (grown in the zoo) for them to nibble. They were really gentle and so CUTE!! Best birthday present ever!!!

Great day trip - lots to see but all within easy walking distance and very suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Book online for great discount.

On arrival it firstly appears as a kids park however the animal enclosures and shows are catered for all ages! All the show talks are very informative and very enjoyable, the animals are very entertaining and you can personally feed some of the animals too! Overall a great day out takes up 3 hours to do the whole park!

I have wanted to visit the park for quite some time after a recommendation from a friend and the zoo didn't disappoint. My wife and I are on a bucket list challenge to visit every zoo in the UK, so the pwp was next on our list. My first impression was how relaxed the animals all seemed. You can see how the keepers really care on a personal level for the animals they look after. The enclosures were kept very clean. Viewing the animals at different angles is possible using the overhead walk ways or at ground level. The zoo layout meant you don't have to walk for miles and revisiting the different enclosures was very easy.i would recommend the zoo to anybody.it was a very enjoyable day

Took my friend on the Feed the Red Panda experience, had a brilliant time friendly knowledgeable staff, even taking photographs whilst we were feeding the pandas. Although it was a 220 mile round trip we both felt it was worth it.

I've been a couple of times in the last 5 months, and both times had a wonderful time, despite the weather on the last occasion. PWP is one of my favourite wildlife parks to visit. It's fairly compact, so I don't have to walk miles and miles, yet it has a really good variety of animals, and despite what a few people have said, I think their enclosures are mostly of a very good size, especially the big cat enclosures. As a lover of big cats, this is one of the best places to see a really big variety of them, especially due to their ties with the World Heritage Foundation. On my last visit, I particularly enjoyed seeing the pair of Jaguars together on the same platform. I felt really privileged to watch them grooming each other and being affectionate - a good sign for the future when they are old enough to breed, I hope.
As always the Red Pandas are a delight. When I visited a few months ago, the cubs were absolutely gorgeous. They have now moved on to new homes, but Tilly (the mum) was enjoying being fed this time. I also found the Meerkat heating itself up under a heat lamp very amusing - and how thoughtful of the Park to provide this facility. I also enjoyed seeing a pair of wolves sharing a platform, looking very alert and perfectly happy.
It was also very interesting watching Tahnee the Cheetah undergoing training from the keepers. This is not to provide amusement, but has a very serious purpose. It allows the keepers to perform medical checks etc on the animals without having to sedate them or cause them any kind of stress - how great is that!? Again, I felt very privileged to see this.
Despite it being autumn, the Park was very clean and tidy. As always, the keepers are very friendly and informative and I always feel that I've learnt something new every time I come here. I see from the website that there are some animals that I haven't seen yet, but would like to. Oh dear, what a shame - I will just have to visit again ;))). I can't wait!
