Had a lovely day out for my 40th birthday, I booked a meet the sloth experience and wasn't disappointed, was lovely to feed them as they climbed all around you, it was really informative and I had lots of time with them. The Zoo was very well thought out, amazing play areas for kids and even though it was chilly as you could view both the indoor and outdoor enclosures you could see all the animals.

Amazingly beautiful

Great place

Had a fantastic day out with my 2 year old. The animals are clearly well cared for and the whole experience was great. Soft play was a huge hit and the rides were suitable for all ages. Can't wait to visit again!

Great little zoo/theme park for the younger kids.....toddlers to 10 year olds I'd say... food prices little over the top as with most places like this and some rides you have to pay extra to go on.

Great day out with the family. Most of the park is clean and looks well looked after. Staff were friendly and helpful. Train was not working in the morning but they managed to get up and running in the afternoon. Food options not the best. Take a packed lunch and go midweek if poss.

Great place for kid's

Lovely place especially for young children. You can get quite close to the animals. Loved the hat enclosure.

This was a lovely day trip, really loved the park.. my young children had so much fun, we didn't eat the food as we took a picnic. picnic area was a good size as well, my only grumble was its very pricey to get in off peak, I wish it was cheaper, as we would definitely come here more often!

It's a pretty good place to come for people of all ages . Food is very tasty with a great choice plus the price is fare . Just wish some of the animals had more space .

Such a wonderful place for adults and children. All worth the price of entrance as they have so many wonderful animals to look after. All the staff are so kind and helpful.

Firstly if you live locally, I highly recommend getting an annual pass. It's such value for money and I regularly take my nearly 2 year old free of charge due to the pass. Drusillas are set up for families who want a day out but have children of various ages and also want to make it a relatively cheap day out, providing benches, high chairs and picnic areas to have a packed lunch.
As an adult that visited Drusillas as a child myself, some areas are a little dated however the park area is by far the best in the area. The under 5s area is a rarity and the 'Cheetah' ride is my daughter's favourite!
There are a few animals which have lovely large enclosures but there are some which do look a little small or not overly stimulating for the animals however all are set up for easy viewing for toddlers.

We’ve just visited Drusillas (last visit 17 years ago!) with 3 year old twin boys. Being out of season it was queue free and peaceful. It was also eye wateringly expensive, (just short of £80) for the age group that we took-a reduced rate for pre-schoolers would be very welcome-as, they don’t have the stamina to spend a whole day there neither can they use most of the rides.

Drusillas is incredibly well laid out, with something to see at every twist and turn, it’s interactive approach was most welcomed by our two boys. However inevitably there are all the little extra “machine rides” there familiar characters and bright colours so instantly attractive to 3 year olds, a ride here and there - soon adding to the initial cost.

The boys loved the bats, farm and smaller animals - the penguins and otters a huge hit. Being out of season we could move at their pace. From an adult perspective I was saddened to see the size of the enclosures for some of the animals, I have no doubt Drusillas meets basic UK requirements for housing wild animals, none the less watching the Servals pacing round and round a small, well worn track was sobering and thought provoking.

The play areas following the Zoo were fabulous, although the area specifically for under 6?? (?12) was fairly compact, out of season this posed no issue, however summer months I should imagine you are packed in like sardines.

The small train ride was loved by all.

Of the 3 cafes, one was closed. We ate at the Amazon adventure cafe complete with soft play. The sandwiches are uninspiring, cheap ingredients and with a generous mark up. My first sandwich was returned, the bread being hard and stale. The second attempt was marginally better, with of one the two halves being edible. The cheese and tomato toasty - shared by the boys had one thin slice of tomato in it.

Toilets needed cleaning-a regular checking roar would minimise soiled toilets, sanitary products on the floor and would ensure that soap dispensers all contained soap.

Staff were universally friendly and approachable . The setting is just glorious.

As I said at the beginning-a little more attention to detail and this would be truly excellent.

Take a picnic
Visit out of season
Enjoy!

It was a really great experience feeding a Linnie's Two Toed Sloth and to speak to a keeper who is as knowledgeable about sloths as me.

Brilliant for the kids<br>And adults<br>Not just a zoo<br>A day out

Great family day out so much to see and do ! Food outlets good value but would say if you have lots to feed you take picnic you can go out of park and can re enter and picnic ib grounds ! Great facilities ! Would recommend if you visit Eastbourne its a place to go as part of your holiday !

We had a great time visiting Drusillas Park on Sunday! Lots of cute animals, and great playground! Monkeys were our favourites!

Excellent experience for children

Great day out for the whole family, lots of entertainment for the kids, but very expensive compared to other zoo's and family attractions, paid over £100 for a family of 5 and you still have to pay extra to go on a bouncy slide??? Tillgate park in Crawley has a lot of the same attractions for a fraction of the cost.

Great place for the kids, great mix of zoo and park

This is a great day out for kids. Food is pricey but they have a large picnic area. Educational and fun, lots of outdoor space for the kids to run about, great that the rides are included in the entrance fee, love the lemur walk through, but some of the enclosures look like they could do with some updating and expansion.

Fun day

Lots to do and see

Amazing
