Good parking. Lots to see and do. Kids loved it.

I have just taken my nephew for his birthday present for a zookeeper experience day and he absolutely loved it and said it was one of his best ever days! We were with Claire who was so lovely and had the patience of an absolute saint. We packed so much into the day - we got the opportunity to feed the meerkats, cuddle some handreared ones, feed the penguins, hand feed the capybara, hold a snake, mice, lizards and much more! We also cleaned some enclosures and got to prepare some food for the animals so he got a real experience of all the different elements. My nephew also got a zookeeper jumper to keep and a certificate which they fill out at the end for you. A great experience which he hopefully won’t forget and lovely for the adult who gets to accompany them as well.

I seldom write reviews, I could probably count the amount I’ve written on one hand.

I was so impressed with Drusillas, it is obviously run/managed by people that know what they are doing. Main point is that it’s a really nice fun day out. Aside from that it’s well structured in that the zoo is choreographed in such a way that you get to see everything in sequence straight from the entrance, almost setting out the first hour or so of the day. I think this is very clever as it helps the dispersion of people meaning less queuing on the rides etc later. It also means kids take in the whole zoo experience.

Plenty of entertainment for young children apart from the zoo. One of the best touches is that the toilets are very clean and have sanitising dispensers in each cubicle...bravo whoever insisted on that as I think it should be a legal requirement in public loos and is very rarely seen.

We revisited the zoo late afternoon, very quiet and all the animals were so active (even the sloth!)
Thanks for a great day.

Great for toddlers to 8yr olds.

Lovely

Bit expensive for entry, particularly as there are things in the park that carry additional cost. Good family fun though - get there early and stay all day to get your money's worth.

Me and my 6 year old son had a brilliant day out today at Drusilla’s Park. So much to do and see and thankfully not to over crowded. A little un happy with the very over priced rides in the picnic area but thankfully there was plenty of free things to go on for me to distract my son with. We arrived at 11am and stayed right up until closing - which was just enough time to do and see everything. The park was clean and tidy with plenty of facilities.

We arrived about 10 30 parking was easy and quickly moved along the queue til we arrived at the front. We booked online so just showed the helpful lady the email on my phone and when in. It's abit crowded at first because so many people are all walking thru the same section but once your thru the first part it gets a little easier to look around we decided to take the short cut and skip some of the zoo and go 2 meet hello kitty do the train ride and have our little girls face painted (£6 for the face painting ) which was a really good idea because it wasn't half as busy as most people were still exploring the zoo. We also did the gift shop and get that out the way loads of cuddly toys and reasonably priced for a zoo. We then took the little one 2 play in the splash play area which she absolutely loved !!! could have stayed there all day if not for the weather being abit chilly . Loads of tables for picnic which we had did see people buying burgers chips ect but as always very expensive. We little one loved meeting hello kitty in her house although she was abit scared. We then went back 2 see the rest of the zoo lovely animals loved the flamingos and otters unfortunately the Lemurs were all asleep when we went thur the walkthur but that's just one of those things not the zoos fault . In all had such a lovely day was expecting it to be so busy and stressful but wasn't at all loads of staff around animals seems happy and only quened 4 about 10mins or less . Will be back thinking of coming either Halloween or Xmas x x x

If you buy online you save some money and the Park is never over crowded.

The experience is very enhanced by The friendly, helpful and kind staff (not all but the majority are so patient and helpful) and you need this type of young staff in a theme park for young children. For me this is the biggest positive point about Drusillas, that is why I travelled 1.5 hrs to visit this park for the third time.

The prices in the park are cheaper than most larger famous theme parks and most rides are free.

Parking wasn't an issue and the facilities were clean.

We were there for 5.5 hours and enjoyed the animals, rides, play grounds and activities and there were still things that we didn't have time to do.

Please vote if you find the above helpful. Thanks

Really enjoyed the day here. Lots to see and do great for all ages.

Lots to see and do for kids

Nice but pricy for what it is

The younger kids love this place. So much to see and do ,they love the train and will go round a few times. All animals very interesting. A secure and relaxed place.

So much stuff to do! Wonderful selection of animals and plenty to keep everyone entertained.

We love Drusillas, the zoo is fairly large with a huge play area for the children.<br><br>The animals seem well cared for and happy most of the time. There are lots of hands on things for the kids to do around the zoo before you get to the play areas, I would recommend picking up the free zoolympics leaflets (bring a pen) and the animal spotter stamp book for the kids.<br><br>The play area is separated into an under 5s area and over 5s, and is absolutely massive with a good choice of play equipment. Indoor softplay has an under 3s area and over 3s. The under 3s is pretty limited but the rest is large with a good choice of things to do.<br><br>The rides are great for young children (up to maybe 12ish?) Although adults can ride with the children. Be prepared to queue at weekends and school holidays, particularly when the weather is nice. There is a good sized splash pad, so bring swimwear and towels.<br><br>The onsite restaurant and cafes are quite pricey (but in line with what you would expect for somewhere like this) there is a good choice of food and drinks, and the restaurant is licensed. The food is reasonably good quality. Some activities are chargeable (penguin plunge, climbing wall, panning for gold and dino dig) and are a little overpriced in my opinion.<br><br>Single day entry is expensive, so if you are going for just one day I would arrive at opening time to get best value for money. If you live near enough to visit 2 or 3 times a year, I would suggest considering membership which works out much better value. For a small charge, children up to age 12 can have a gold membership which gives free unlimited access to the chargable activities mentioned above.<br><br>The light show at christmas is brilliant, and well worth a visit. Father Christmas is his grotto are very realistic and the gifts are usually a lovely cuddly toy, but this is quite an expensive add on (I think £8 per child last year.)

Great great great! Perfect heaven for children . We spent the entire day getting through all the activities. What a blast!

Having just been a zoo in Asia it was nice to see a safe and suitable enclosure for all the species with large enclosures.

Great family day out plenty to see and do

Kids aged 8 and 9 loved it! The zoo part was great

Perfect for younger kids

Fantastic day out.... Highly recommend this zoo for families with children under 12ish.... Water park & play park after the zoo section, remember to bring towels and change of clothes... Have fun

Great day out always good.

Loved it most enjoyable family day out:) ticks all the boxes!!!

Drusillas is an amazing place. Is mainly a zoo with plenty of animals. Also there are a few attractions aimed at young children. Plenty of activities. I recommend the free challenge books to keep kids entertained.

Stink smell and mobile camera failed,unable to clear pictures cos of glass,grrr!
