What a very good day out we had,3 adults 2 children.This is not a park-zoo where you can see large animals. Lots of enclosures to see birds ,monkeys,lemurs etc.On the way round lots of info about the animals. The children can stamp in a book when they see the animal.There is a small farm area to see cows,pigs ,ponies etc.Good splash area if the weather is good and small pool.On the park is kitty land and Thomas the tank ride.They is a outside and inside play area We did not eat in the park,but the tea, coffee ,ice cream was a fair price.All rides are free.

Get here for opening to avoid long queues. Just off A27, has a zoo, farm setting and enclosures where u can walk round & feed colourful birds & also see lemurs. Great splash park, hello kitty land & Thomas the tank engine ride- highly recommended.

Despite full car park and it being a bank holiday and busy we didn't queue long. £54 for two adults and one child! so not cheap. The 'zoo' is tiny and has just small monkeys and reptiles alongside a 'farm' which is equally tiny with a few cows, odd sheep and chickens. By far the best part for my 6 year old was the water splash area which was newly opened this July, he loved it. So take swim wear for the kids. Food is limited to the usual poor quality fast food and expensive, so packed lunches needed! the kids play area is quite good and the Thomas steam train is popular, although short. Panning for gold activity and penguin giant inflatable slide, you have to pay extra for. we've been and wouldn't go again.

Small but perfectly formed. A great little zoo coupled with the kind of adventure play areas (indoors and out) your kids dream about. Food isn't a ripoff like many theme parks and the annual membership for unlimited entry is very reasonable.

Most animal enclosures were small, dirty and smelly. Prices expensive, food expensive and not good selection. Many cheaper priced parks offering much more

We had a fantastic day out, well worth every penny with so much to do and see. My young daughters loved the animals, the rides and play areas. The new splash park was a real treat on a hot day too.

I would highly recommend and will go again.

Kids loved it good value for money with on line deal .

This Zoo is definitely not an ordinary zoo it also has a wonderful park.
I used to live in Singapore where they have an amazing Zoo and worked at Disneyland Paris so as you can imagine I am very critical of what it should be like.
My verdict is: Drusillas Zoo completely blow me away!
Everything is thought for. The staff is super friendly and helpful (no idea how they find them but I am suspecting them training their employees, you can tell they are happy to work there). It is also very clean as you have staff cleaning at all time.
I used to go to that Zoo with my older children 8 years ago but it has changed so much. It is much bigger and so much fun for any age group. They have added a park where children and adults (yes we did) have fun.
We took our little boy who is 2 last week to see Peppa Pig that he loved! It was very busy as it was a very hot day but as you have so many different activities that wasn't a problem. The queue for Thomas or Hello Kitty cars wasn't long at all. We did not do the water parts but will try them next time as we bought an annual ticket for all of us and will take our 11 and 8 years old too.
I loved the Zoo and you can tell that the animals are very well looked after. Kyle enjoyed the monkeys and the little farm. It is a very educational zoo and I am never bored of coming here.
In regards of the food it is a great place to find healthy food too (yes at last a zoo where you can eat good food and not just sandwiches). The restaurant is cute and the hot food was tasty. We cannot wait to be back soon.

We had a fab trip to Drusillas on the bank holiday weekend. I was expecting it to be heaving but although busy it didn't seem too crowded and we never queued for more than 5 mins for anything.
The zoo is amazing. Huge variety of animals in very good sized enclosures and they all look incredibly well cared for and healthy. Lots of close encounters options too. My daughter loved all the interactive bits around the zoo and took in so much information from the very child friendly signs etc.

My son however was desperate to get to the play area and then they were gone! Hours of fun with loads for the kids to do including 2 fantastic water play areas. There was a brilliant cafe with reasonably priced food/ice cream and drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and enjoying a cuppa whilst the kids wore themselves out. Although it was busy and all the tables were full outside the cafe we found it comfortable enough to sit on the wooden sides of the play area and by the time the kids were hungry a table had become available. The food was delicious as were the ice creams :)

The weather for our day was beautiful but very hot. I did go into the indoor play area to use the toilets and it was lovely and cool with air conditioning in there if you needed to escape the heat or the rain!
The kids played in the play area for at least 2 hours and would have happily spent more time there had we not decided to move through to the next area in fear of running out of time!

Our next stop was Hello Kitty Land which my kids absolutely loved. They are just tall enough to go on the rides on their own now and they seem to love the opportunity to be independent. Great rides and only a couple of minutes queue for each. The lovely Siobhan on the drop ride was really interacting with the kids making them laugh and getting their hands in the air. Brilliant.

Thomas was good as always. The kids love the little chug around the park. We are looking forward to seeing the new revamped train after Thomas leaves.

Starbucks was an added bonus for the adults and the lovely lad in there was more than happy to give the kids a drink of iced tap water. So many places these days force you to buy overpriced bottled water which on a hot day when you don't want your kids getting dehydrated can get incredibly expensive.

Overall a brilliant day out. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole park is very clean and tidy and every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely day out making happy memories with our children :)

Brilliant day from start to finish. Arrived about 9.55 park opened at 10.00. Small queue already there but got in in about 10 minutes. Park was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. There was so much to do and luckily never had to queue for more than a few minutes for any of the rides. Would definitely go again

We were so impressed with Drusilla's Park!

There was so much for little ones to see and do. There are loads of different animals, a small Hello Kitty theme park, Thomas the Tank train ride, two water play parks, and two brilliant play parks as well as a live stage and other activities.

The on site food was really good and reasonably priced. Staff were helpful and polite.

Booked in advance for 22 people including 15 children aged between 4 and 8 and took advantage of group rates, working out at approx £12pp.

Thoroughly enjoyable day for all.....the animal park is great and good activities for kids with stamping their books to say each animal they had seen and then finding facts out about animals in another record book. The splash and play zone is brilliant and was where we stopped for lunch before goi g into the areas with rides and the Thomas train which all the kids loved.

The only slight criticism is that once was you start the animal trail there are no places to stop for a rest or the lop with little ones so we found that about half way through we had the rush as the kids were getting tired and hungry.

Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable and value for money day out

Animals seem happy enough to be there, and it's fantastic that they have mixed enclosures! Staff are very friendly and prices are quite reasonable.

Absolutely fantastic. there is loads to do kids loved every second staff were all happy polite and helpful and the Park itself was so clean and tidy. recommended to anyone looking for a good value fun packed day with young kids

We visited earlier in the week and had a great day out. I used tesco vouchers to save money on entry and would recommend others do this.
There was so much to do there and they have really tried to cater for a wide range of visitors. The interactive zoo is great and we loved feeding the birds and seeing the lemurs up close. They have a soft play area for younger children, which can keep them out of the heat or if it rains. The outdoor play area is huge.
The water areas obviously were packed because we went on such a sunny day, but there was still enough room for the little ones.
We met peppa and George and rode on the Thomas train twice. My only criticism for this is that I think the train should go round twice because it takes around the same time for people to get on and off, as it does for the train trip. The hello kitty area is well done and gives young children a taste of fair and theme park rides.
Everything we bought wasn't badly priced. I like that the gift shops aren't walk through shops, they are separate units so you can choose not to go in them.
We had a great time and wish it was closer to where we live.

This place is amazing. We had such a good day out and will definitely go again, it was brilliant. Perfect for young kids, our 3 yr old loved it, and I would say it's good for kids up to about 10. Nice variety of animals and some wonderful walkthroughs where you can see monkeys up close and feed the parrots. Lots of play parks. Everything was really clean. The cafe had a lovely salad bar and sandwich bags for the kids, also felt really spacious...plenty of room for my babies pram. Most of it is outside so it's probably not the best place for a really rainy day. Having said that, I cannot recommend this place enough - go!!

Absolutely fabulous. It was a boiling hot day and the new water zone in Go Wild went down a treat!
As it was half term it was very busy but we didn't have to queue and it was lovely and cool in the inside soft play area.
The animals looked very well cared for, the meerkats being our favourite, with a few babies running around too! We also got to see a beaver making his dam, which was lovely for the children.
I really recommend this park for the whole family

Went yesterday (24/08) which was an incredibly hot day. But the paddling pool and water park helped with that. My two sons loved running around getting wet and it kept them cool whilst we relaxed on the Astro turf in the shade.

We arrived just before which I recommend as we were near the front of the queue- which was long due to Peppa Pig being there.

The animals were great - though like us they were struggling with the heat.
Took a packed lunch so can't comment on the food/ prices.

Boys also loved the Thomas ride and the quest for the treasure. Shame some of the bits required extra payment- should be included in the overall entrance fee. Though this did not prevent us from all having a good time. Nice and easy to get too and plenty of parking spaces.

on entering the park it seemed very busy but with the way it is all laid out and directed meant that there wasn't any hustle and bustle. the park is well kept and animals all look very well looked after. after working our way through the zoo part of the park we found ourselves at the park which is brilliant and caters for all ages. 'get wet' was hugely appreciated as it was the hottest day of the year and the kids (and adults) appreciated the cooling off. once dried off, fed and watered Thomas the Tank Engine and Hello Kitty land were enjoyed and we found the Explorers Lagoon so we again got changed for a dip in the shallow pool to cool off for the drive home. a great day enjoyed by all.

Expensive, but good value for money. Well organised and layed out. Take a picnic and it keeps your costs down.

Went to Drusillas whilst on holiday in Hastings, pre booked tickets online which saved money, get there early to avoid queues at the gates though. Zoo was great with lots of little animals you can get close to, play park and splash pad also great. Food prices quite reasonable too. Girls enjoyed the rides at hello kitty with hardly any wait even in the holidays. We spent about 4 hours but you could spend much longer. Overall I would recommend to families with younger children.

We went yesterday we arrived just when it open (10 am) and a good day had by all 16 year ,6 year 2 year and nanny & granddad lots to do the paddling pool(explorers lagoon) was busy but great fun the rides were free and we only paid for panning for gold and the penguin plunge which is six goes. The zoo part was well kept with lots to see. The food was plentyful and reasonably priced .Very friendly staff a great day out had by all

Really great place to take the kids. You pay one entry fee and can take the kids on anything, as many times as you like. We did the Thomas ride and the Hello Kitty rides at least twice. It's also great that they have so many animals, plus a water play area. Something for everyone.

We were staying locally so a trip to Drusillas seemed to be a "must do". We all loved it! Boys as happy to ride "Hello Kitty!" as well as Thomas the Tank. Scorching day so enjoyed all the spash and pool adventures, plus a lovely lunch at the cafe. We had a ball! Highly recommend, helpful staff and lots of "cross age" activities. Zoo is fabulous! Go early...you won't be disappointed!

So much to do here, can't do it all in one day.

The zoo is excellent and kept well. The zoo has a specific path to follow so it can get a little crowded.

It has a new water area that is wonderful, especially on a hot day.
