Although the entry price is somewhat dear it was money well spent for a full day of activities. Not only the animals but my kids (8 & 2 x 5 yo) enjoyed the adventure parks and the water fountain park. As a bonus, prices for food and goods inside was not extortionate.

The whole family enjoyed it immensely.

Went today (BH Monday) with wife and two young children.

We ordered the tickets online and decided to arrive at around 10:30. Car park was filling up, however, the stewards ensured that parking was stress free.

Queued to show our tickets and entered the park, bought a Starbucks coffee (they have a franchise vending machine) and some drinks for the girls..not a bad price.

Girls enjoyed the rides and the wet play area, the zoo was enjoyable and apart from some minor queuing it was remarkably easy to walk around the park.

The train, rhino ride and Hello Kitty areas were good. This is not an amusement park and is clearly aimed at 2 - 10 yr olds.

Is it worth the money?, not completely convinced, however, there was enough to do for the girls to be entertained for 4+ hrs.

Great day out that doesnt break the bank. Lots to do kids having a blast

We had a nice time generally but the was a distinct lack of staff about if I had questions I had to hunt around and find staff , Shame as the kids loved it

Myself my mum and my three boys aged 15 months, 6 and 8 went yesterday to drusillas and literally had the most amazing time!
There were so many new attractions it kept my children completely entertained from the minute we arrived until the minute we left!
The zoo had some brilliant new additions like the giant anteaters and the raccoons, both of which my boys love!
The new swimming area with fountains is just hours of fun, then there's the safari train the go safari rides and hello kitty land!!
Wr left with 3 very tired children who all agreed what a brilliantly fun day it had been,
visited previously and didn't think it was worth the entrance fee as adults and children all pay the same price.
but now I'd happily pay again and again we have now purchased season tickets!
Well done drusillas for upping your game! A really excellent place to visit with kids!!

I have visited Drusillas on many occasions, with children and on my own, being an animal addict!<br>It is extremely well laid out, informative and easy to get around. I like the large areas to eat, inside and out and the staff are so helpful.<br>Education officer, Carla Dray, who has been at the zoo for many years is a joy to listen to as her passion and knowledge of the animals in her care is so apparent.<br>It is fairly expensive but offers great value for money as it is such a memorable day out.<br>Highly recommend it!!😧🐒🐴🕷🐷

Really good value for money. My daughter had an amazing time. She loved the animals and play areas. Yes there were queues but it's there summer holidays so it was expected.
Will definitely be coming back

Parking is free.Great place to visit I was really impressed by the interactive things and challenges lots of great rides for children. I just question the adult price but especially a child price a 3 year old pays £19..yes £19 now i know rides are included but that is an extortionate amount for a child. I would suggest:
Under 5s free
6-11 age half adult fee
12 and over adult price

Toilets were generally clean and tidy. I Used the gents near the oasis cage and play area. Maybe a sign to say female staff may enter would be helpful (my wife said she saw one but I didn't...went back still didn't see one)

Food:we were in explorers cafe and it was very good value for money. Decent food ..what you see on pictures paid just over £16

Park is very good and large great play area-best i have seen.Staff were friendly and ample of them around to help. Staff were seen cleaning areas which was good

Noticed a few smokers huts, for me there shouldn't be any not only for members of the public but the animals. They seem redundant because the smoke just leaves. One of the smokers huts is next To smoothie and picnic food area...for me that is not right or fair, but most were in places out of the way

Zoo is easy and comfortable for buggys

I visited Drusillas park yesterday with my two 4 year olds and 12 year old niece.

It was a lovely surprise to see that Pepper and George were also at the park that day!
After queuing no longer than 15 minutes my boys got their photo and hug!

We spent the next hour or so on all the rides safe and enjoyable for my four year olds (and also my niece and I!!)

After lunch we went back to the start and went round the zoo route, so many different animals and activities on the way round.

A fun filled day which has been the highlight of the summer holidays!!

Thank you Drusillas!

Had tickets for free children so entry fee wasn't to bad at £39.99 for a family of four. However full entry price would of been very expensive. Had a good day out was of course very busy as was a peak week day. New things have been added since our last visit, like hello kitty land and the safari area, was great to see these where included in the entry price. Thought panning for gold at £4 per person was overpriced when all you get is a plastic medal. But the kids enjoyed doing it and wearing their medals. Staff are really friendly and jolly. We had lunch there which was ok but again overpriced but always is at places like this. Overall a good day out and will visit again.

Fantastic place for young children, the animals are clearly visible and the playground is HUGE! With something for all ages.<br>Take a swimming costume for warm days. I suggest arriving early as you will want to spend the whole day but expect a bit of a wait to get in, we waited about 40 min but I think that was because peppy pig was there :) even so, well worth the wait!

Great place to take the kids. Lots to do. But don't forget a swim suit and towel for the kids as they really enjoyed running through the water fountains while the adults can have coffee and plently of seating to watch.

Such a great place for all ages and well worth the money. Buy the tickets online for an even better deal or get an annul pass like me and go whenever you want.

Loved it so many fun things for all ages<br>And it is no ordinary

fab day had today with keryn and shawn at Drusillas so much to see and do !! loved every minute

Great park lots to do I'd recommend this to any one with kids!splash zone is great take a towel😂👏👏👏👏👏

Sometimes these places are 2-3 hours and your done so the entrance fee at first put me off a bit. But what great value the park is! It's a full day out with lots to do! The first parts the Zoo part and don't forget to get involved stamping the book provided with the kids. Then it's onto the play area that's great. Have some lunch, or bring a packed lunch to save some money then into the water park section so don't forget the kids costumes. The onto the maze, rides and finally a bit of face painting!

Thankyou Druzillas for a great day out 😁

This is a gem of a zoo.
It has a wide range of animals to see and several enclosures you can walk round like lorry landing and lemurland.
As well as this it has ride for the kids in there go safari area and hello kitty zones.
There is lots of places to eat or if like us bring a packed lunch there is lots of places to sit and eat it.
They have lots of gift shops with souvenirs for all pockets.
They also have live shows with well know children's cartoon characters appearing at set times on set days best to check their website for this.
The entrance fee is slightly high if you buy at the gate but if you buy online you can get a discount and if you have disabilities you can get a career in free of charge.
This is a great fun educational day out for all the family and we will be coming back.

We really enjoyed our trip to Drusillas today, and loved seeing the zoo animals and exploring the grounds. Unfortunately for us, we felt that upon entering the 'Farm Enclosure' that the animals concerned i.e. Ponies, donkeys, cows and Pigs did not have sufficient space for a healthy lifestyle. For us, it made us feel quite sad to see the animals so remote from their natural surroundings, i.e. Fields! We know that the animals are visibly very well looked after but feel that they should be in a better environment that fully supports their wellbeing.
It was a lovely experience, the food was lovely and reasonably priced and the entrance fee was also reasonable, but the day felt soured by the farm area.

Always love this place! Come back every year.

Great day out.kids loved it!!

Great day out.... well worth the money

A+++++++++

This was our first time at Drusillas Park. We went on a hot summers day during Aug, during peak school summer holidays, along with our 2 daughters aged 5yrs and 1.5yrs, in total, 4 of us.
We used Tesco Clubcard vouchers and exchanged them for tickets online for a bargain ticket price of just £6.50 as opposed to £19.50 on the day at the park.
Tickets are required for anyone over the age of 3yrs, with the ticket price for anyone above 3yrs the same as an adult ticket.
We travelled just under an hour to get to the park.
Being our first time, we were super duper excited. There was a slight traffic build up close to the park, which wars expected. It took us just over 12mins to get into the car park and park up. Parking at the park is free.
There was, as we expected a long queue at the entrance to get into the park, we waited around 28mins before we actually got our tickets and entered the park.
We were surprised and kids were super happy to see the animals as soon as we entered the park. The Zoo is great here and we liked how you walk past it to get into the other parts of the park.
Hello Kitty area was good with 4 rides as well as the Cheetah ride and gyrating Hippo ride.
We were lucky on the day of our visit as "Chase and Marshall" from Paw Patrol were making a special appearance, meeting the fans on the stage at the events area of the park. My eldest daughter was happy to meet Marshall and have pictures taken with him. This was a real added bonus! It made her day!
We went on the Safari Train ride, which was formerly Thomas the tank engine ride, again it was enjoyed by the children.
The play areas were fantastic with climbing frames, slides, zip lines and a water park where most children were happily playing.
Despite the park being full and very busy, we fully covered the Zoo and all rides by 3pm with time to spare for an ice-cream in the beaming hot summer sun.
Do remember to take sun screen and hats for children, as it can get too hot.
There is a gift shop, where we bought some cuddly animal mementos for the kids.
In all, we had a fantastic day here. The staff were all very friendly and engaging.
We cannot wait to come back again next year.
Definitely recommend this attraction for those with very young children aged 1-6yrs.

Having previously read reviews mentioning that Drusillas is best suited to children under the age of 10 we were slightly apprehensive prior to our visit with our two children aged 4 and 10. Once inside the park we quickly realised that we had need never be worried as our 10 year old absolutely loved the park and all that they had to offer. He particularly enjoyed the fact cards and the activities that showed how you would compete in relation to certain animals. He joined in with every activity with his younger sister and came away saying how he had a fantastic day so those with older children need not worry, there is plenty for them to participate in and enjoy. We ate in the explorers cafe and found the food to have a good choice and well priced. My only slight negative as mentioned several times in reviews is that once in there are a few features that you need to pay extra for. I appreciate that things like face painting and to feed the animals may cost extra but the penguin slide and the high ropes course really could have been included. Children were participating so perhaps with this inclusion it would mean that the attraction would become too busy but perhaps offering each child one voucher to take part as part of the entry price would limit this. All in all we had a fantastic day and would recommend drusillas!
