A great place to visit and take the family, good parking and good food to be had on site.
The best thing for me was the tiger enclosure.

I must admit it's really 3* for me, but I've gone for 4 in recognition of the fact that it's not really aimed at someone like me (a single adult). It's very much somewhere to take young kids to. I myself went because a Groupon caught my eye. It only really offered a few pounds off, but I thought it was an opportunity to get out of London and see a different area. There are a few good animals like the white lions, white tigers and red pandas, but it's quite a small zoo with not many animals really and quite a few of them seemed to be hiding anyway. An hour was enough for me. I must admit there are quite a few talks and feeds, which I didn't bother with and can't, therefore, comment on. I found the food to be rather rubbish. I'm surprised other reviewers have said it's good. Maybe I just didn't know where to go. Looking online, the Tiger Treetops Café caught my attention, but when I went to check it out, I found virtually nothing available, certainly no hot food anyway. I landed up having a rather sad hot dog, which had to last me the day in the end. There're a lot of picnic tables about though, so bringing your food does seem a better option. Tickets are only a few pounds cheaper than London Zoo, which seems ridiculous to me, and there're lots of things you have to pay extra for. There is a minibus that runs to and from the station every half hour for £3 return. If you don't have a car, this is really the only transport there is. I asked at information about walking in the woods nearby, but they didn't seem to know anything about it and even advised me not to try as walking along the road to get there was dangerous. It seemed like quite a strange "information point". In the end, I just worked it out myself and had a very nice afternoon in both Broxbourne and Wormley Wood. If you want to do it, there're closer car parks you can move your car to or it's just a short walk up the road before you can get onto a path. I'm conscious of my rather negative review. I myself didn't think the place was anything special, but if you have young kids, there are plenty of play areas (more than animals) for them to enjoy, but for me, the woods were much more interesting.

For the money it's great free parking great animals to see and you need 4 hours max to see everything and have a bite to eat...our little one loved it.and you are very close to the animals so you can get some great pics.

I was lucky enough to be given a "shadow a zoo keeper " experience and so me and my old man arrived at Paradise Wildlife Park at 8.30 am unsure of what the day would involve. We were met with hot chocolate and biscuits and our complementary T- shirts and went to help clean the Llamas pen. Amy and James were incredibly knowledgable about all the animals they look after , Camel , Raindeer and Llama .we swept and hosed the pen down ready for the public to arrive at 9.30. You get two breaks in the day ( an hour for lunch ) the burger was delicious and the meal is included in the price of the experience . There is a bar too ! Next we were off to the Reptiles with Yianna and Glen and again the knowledge and expertise shone through. I have always been scared of Spiders and asked if I could hold one. A huge hairy Tranantula was gently placed in my hand and my fear vanished. Tom took over and showed us the Birds where we were able to put on a glove and have an Eagle Owl fly to us and receive a half a mouse in reward. Break for lovely lunch . Connor met us next to see and feed the small mammals we fed Red Pandas ( they look a it like a cross between a fox and a large cat ) Limas ,Agooti ,friendly trained Rats ,Otters and all this while standing in the animals enclosure my to the envy of the other members of the public visiting ! Johnny took us to see the Primates and answered all our questions even the daft ones and even took us round the back so we could spot a baby Gibbon who was hiding .As if this wasn't enough we finished off with "tick a Tapir " something to definatly tell the Grandkids . All the members of staff we met were so very friendly, intelligent , passionate about the place and most of all the animals. We finished our day at 4.30 and stayed to watch the white Tiger being fed. The park closed at 6 pm and we were sad to leave . If I have missed anyone out I'm sorry YOU WERE ALL AMAZING thank you so much for a truly remarkable experience . I would recommend it to anyone.

Been here lots of times with the children they love it . It's not to big so the kids aren't always moaning about the walking . There a cafe there but can be pricy and the entry fee can be expensive but if you go on line there are plenty of deals for a discount on the entry fees . My little ones loved feeding the reindeer but you can only feed them at certain parts of the year . It's great day out for all the family and you'll all have fun .

Paradise wildlife park is a fantastic day out for the whole family! I would highly recommend it!
There are loads of activities and entertainment for children and all of the play areas are fantastic.
Compared to the other zoos paradise has a lot more for children to do and will keep them occupied all day!

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.
