Drusilla's is a fabulous family day out! The zoo is full of a variety of unique and different animals. Loved the lemur experience where you can walk through the enclosure and see the lemurs up close! There is also a mini farm and pet zone on site too. The cafe had a variety of healthy and other yummy food options. Hello kitty land had funfair rides for all and there is also a flying cheetah and hippo bus ride too! As well as a little safari train. There is also a cafe with a soft play area and a fabulous adventure playground outside. There are separate areas for under 2s for both which was great for my 10 month old! There's also a sand pit, wet and wild park and other attractions! It's a great day out there is so much to do! What more could you want in a day. Can't wait to go back!

We had a fantastic day with my five year old and 8 month old! He loved the animals, rides and play area! The baby loved the under two soft play and seeing all the animals. Lovely healthy tasty lunch (lunch bag are really good quality). They even had baby food and baby spoons. Such great value for money and a really fun day out!

I visited Drusillas today with my 9month old daughter and a group of mummy friends. Had such a fun day, there's so much to do! They have a great selection of animals who all have lovely enclosures and seem relaxed, happy and well looked after. So good to see some of the more unusual species such as binturongs, beavers and red pandas, not to mention the new anteaters! You can get really up close and personal with some of the animals, my daughter loved looking at them all. We had lunch in the explorers cafe where they had loads of highchairs and lots of choices of food, including great options for kids and babies, very impressed. Also, Starbucks on site, amazing!
The play areas and rides were brilliant for all ages. love the splashpad and new hippo bus ride. I left with one suitably happy and tired out baby, Can't wait to go back again! X

Had the most amazing day here at the park. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The splash area was great fun and so much to do elsewhere. Will definitely be back !!!

It is quite a lot for entrance, at the time of our last visit £19.50, and a family of 5 £95. But it is great value for money. There is plenty of opportunity to spend more inside as well, you can save a lot by taking your own picnic. Tea and coffee is reasonably priced, I did not buy food from any of the concessions apart from a scrumptious bag of fresh donuts near the entrance to the Safari train platform. The adventure playground is awesome, and caters for toddlers and teenagers alike. Take your swimming stuff too, the splash pad water park is great fun and included n admission. Then of course, there are the animal to see, and a kiddies farm as well with sheep, ponies, cattle, goats, and more. The monkeys and penguins are a firm favourite, and there are reptiles to see as well. Also featured is a small theme park with modern children's rides. A great day out, get there early and stay late to get full value!

Absolutely loved it, so did ok 2yo

Plenty to do and kids love the place but it isn't cheap. They only have small animals, nothing bigger than a Labrador.

My 9 year old son was Keeper for a Day at Drusillas which was a superb experience. He thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and was stuck with a permanent smile as a result. We've had endless stories about the animals he met and it's reinforced his appreciation for the natural world.
The rest of the family spent the day in the park following him around from enclosure to enclosure to share the day as much as we could. This made us feel included and as much part of the day as he was.
Thanks so much to the people who shared their knowledge and enthusiasm with him, I have a feeling he will be back again in the future.

...Oh and I love the addition of the Giant Anteaters!

Plenty for the kids to do and additional rides and features are always being added. Can be a little pricey for occasional visitors so use voucher schemes!

The park was excellent we went there to view it before bringing all the children and the rest of the adults and it was amazing I'm really looking forward to bringing the children there, everywhere you go there is a fun little activity for the children to keep them engaged and interested, bathroom facilities are also spread out around the park, the play area for children is massive and very well made, the food area was lovely with a wide range of choices to choose from we picked to eat at the explorers cafe and the food was delicious aswell as the service being wonderful, I also loved the fact there is a short cut to the food court which means if the children are getting restless you can go eat or get a ice cream and then go back and continue, we went Into the shops which where well organised and bought a few bits but unlike some parks you can avoid the shops if you like without an argument with the children wanting items, we really enjoyed the day and can't wait to return, well worth the money and travel thank you for the great day.

We have had annual passes for Drusilla's twice and if you're local it is worth the money.

There's lots of animals to see and while there are perhaps a few enclosures that could use updating, they are by and large very good and the animals seem well cared for. They do make a big effort each year to make updates to the animals' enclosures and the attractions. The talks are interesting and worth catching if you can and it's a good idea to make sure you've got a pound for everybody in the party so that you can feed the lorikeets.

Once you've seen the animals there is a lot for the kids to do: 2 outdoor playgrounds for differing ages, a water playground that has fountains and water canons, a great indoor soft play that is cleaner than most I've seen and then there's the rides. Drusilla's have just introduced 2 new safari based rides and the safari train that goes around the park. This is in addition to the Hello Kitty rides that they already had. All in all there are 5 different rides that are fantastic for kids (and the grown-ups too).

There are additional paid-for activities: climbing wall, panning for gold, inflatable slide and fossil digging. I believe that you pay 1 additional price at the gate that gives you access to all of these, but we haven't done this due to the children's age.

There are 2 different cafe's, as well as some lighter snacks at the soft play. The food is decent for a tourist attraction, there is Starbucks coffee and even a small selection of alcoholic beverages.

Overall you can spend the whole day here and it is good value for money.

We had a great day at Drusillas, we went with our 12 year old and nearly 2 year old. It wasn't too big, there was things for all ages. I loved the steps to toddlers could see into enclosures and the toddler toilet seats.

The kids had great fun, and we had a rest at the end while they played on the park.

Would without a doubt love to go here again.

Visited with our two children (2 and a half and 11 weeks) and had a great day! Staff very friendly and took time to show my son the animals that he couldnt spot. Easy layout to follow and to get the pram around. Son loved the splash pad and playground.

We used clubcard vouchers as it worked out quite expensive without but after visiting, we would pay the full price to visit again!

So much to do for all ages. A really great family day out.

I have a 3yr old daughter she loved it so did us

We have visited many times over the past 3 years,and normally take a picnic. However as the weather has been so hot recently we decided we would get something there. We ate in the children's playground area , my husband had the chicken burger and I had the chicken nuggets. I must say they were the best chicken nuggets I have ever eaten, you could tell they were real chicken ,my husband said the burger was a chicken fillet. We went with our 2 grown up daughters and 2 grandchildren they also agreed that the food was lovely. We meant to ask the girl on the way out who's nuggets they were.
Also I use a mobility scooter and when we got there my husband discovered he had forgotten to put the battery in the car. He was going to go home and get it (140 mile round trip ) my daughter said don't be silly dad let's see if they can do anything to help us, and indeed they did, they had a wheelchair we could hire ,( for a deposit which we got back when we retuned it ) so technically it was free . Shame it wasn't a scooter but you don't look a gift horse ......
As for the zoo, a lovely collection of smaller animals, some of which I haven't seen in any of the bigger zoos, and lots of information about them
The children's play area is second to none especially the new rides. And the water park is just the right size , no matter where you are sitting within that area you can see your child, which is a lot better than some other places. One of my daughters forgot her 11 year olds swimwear but the shop had a swimsuit ( £6.99 ) and a towel around the same price. Which I think was fantastic value.
All in all a very good day, even better if you use Tesco vouchers. The only complaint I would have is the price of admission for under 5s. I do think that should be reduced We were fortunate as our little one won't be 2 till next week which is why we went today , because the next time we go we will have to pay full adult price for her.
Whatever you are doing keep on doing it, it works !!!!!

Had a great time here. Love the fact they've moved the water park into the play area. Still a wonderful selection of play equipment for kids.

Lots of types of animals to see, but some enclosures feel a little small...The goats particularly looked too big for their small enclosure.

Sad thomas has home...The safari express feels dull in comparison. The only animal you see on the journey is a camel.

Good day out overall.

Our Rainbow Unit had a lovely day at Drusillas celebrating the 30th birthday of when the Rainbows started within Girlguiding on Saturday 1st July 2017. The Rainbows enjoyed seeing all the animals, playing in the Hello Kitty Secret Garden, Go Wild, Go Bananas, Go Safari, Get wet, Hippopotobus, Flying cheetahs and the Express train. We had the perfect day weather wise, not too hot, but dry and warm enough for the Rainbows to use the Get Wet splash area.

We had our dinner and tea in your restaurant and the staff and food were excellent. I would definitely recommend Drusillas as a place for a uniform unit to visit for a fun day out at a reasonable price.

Lovely zoo with a huge variety of animals that are well looked after

I visited here with family and we had the most spectacular day. So much to see and learn - if you have children with you I feel that adults would want to visit again so that they can spend time learning about the history of the zoo. The animals were close to us but had the most amazing and natural habitats for the animals it was almost like they were not being kept in a zoo. I will definitely visit again.

Brilliant family day for all!

What a fantastic, interesting, relaxing, fun filled day out. Yes it is expensive at the gate, but there was no dipping in to the pocket for rides every five minutes. We spent an hour or so at the water area, lots of friends made by our son. What most impressed me was the clever use of space, well done guys! Staff were great, most of them are quite young, but they do an impressive job, we went on all the rides and all those guys did every single safety check you can imagine, before the ride set off, as a mom, thank you. Food.....may I recommend the explorers lounge/ cafe, we didn't eat there, but wished we had when we popped in for a couple of drinks on the way out and a sizzling hot freshly made lasagne wafted by us and I had the urge to become a career lasagne thief for a moment! When you're checking out the admission prices and thinking that's waaaaay too much, remember it's mostly an open park, relax, chill out and have fun with your kids

Expensive but good value for money as there were no charges for the rides and attractions. A packed lunch would save money too.

Nice place for family out, well maintained, good food and service, kids will really enjoy.

It might feel pricey, but its worth the spend in comparisob to other pay for entry parks and attractions. Its not for older teens, unless they love animals, as the rides are geared for younger guests.
Up to 13/14 is great for any age, my kids were 18 months and 10 years old and they love it....it obviously helps if the weather is nice as alot is outdoors.
Bring a picnic as lots of space and facilities to picnic....and food options are pricey and not wonderful quality, think harvester kids menu standard.
