Young family enjoyed. Small park but done well. There is a small water play area so take costumes!

The park and zoo is fantastic. Definitely a good day with the family and the kids loved it. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The animals at the zoo looked happy and well looked after. An educational walk around the zoo is a must.
Restaurants have a very long queue though. To avoid waiting long, we went to the Explorer's Cafe instead of the Oasis Cafe. I have to say that the Explorer's Cafe was the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The menu is is limited and the price is very expensive. I bought a whole cheese and tomato pizza for £13.95, the quality was so bad that I could immediately tell it was a £2 frozen pizza brought from Iceland. The tables seemed sticky and the lady who brought the food to our table seemed annoyed. The coffee shop next to the restaurant had a long queue as well. I waited more than half hour to be served.
Overall, definitely worth visiting, but best to take your own food and drink to avoid the restaurants.

Due to Covid we had our Sloth encounter cancelled twice, when we finally got to go in May 2021 we thought it was worth the wait!!
Whilst the encounter isn't cheap, my daughter, who is obsessed with sloths, was so excited and so happy afterwards that we felt it was worth the money.
My husband and I paid our entry to the park using Clubcard vouchers which was a very easy process.
We enjoyed a look around the zoo and amusement area before our encounter took place. There are so many animals awake and active in the zoo area and my 10 & 11 year old thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all. We all commented on how unusual it is to see so many awake and active animals. We loved the parakeet enclosure and we bought a pot of nectar and they all flew onto our arms to drink it - that was fabulous.
For the sloth encounter, we had a wonderful host called Amelia. Amelia was enthusiastic, friendly, informative and chatty in all the right quantities.
My youngest daughter has ASD and she took her possible special needs into consideration and offered reassurance to us all that it would be fine.
The sloths sleep for 18 hours a day and they are specifically woken up to receive their food once a day and my daughters both had the privilege of passing fruit and vegetables to them. They are magnificent and cute-looking animals and to get so close to them was such a treat.
After the encounter we spent some more time in the playground and amusement area of the park. I would say that my children are at the older end of the age range that this park is suitable for, but they still made the most of it and enjoyed themselves.
The park is really clean. There are lots of litter bins, lots of hand sanitisers and plenty of toilets. All of which are so important for safe family days out.
We would like to go back and take our niece and nephew, who are a little younger, as we think they will love the park very much.
Thanks again Amelia and Drusillas :-)

Expensive family day out, considering it very much a child based animal and child park. To do several things inside the the ark extra cost , and a good selection of pay for children’s rides just inside the entrance , so after paying £100 to get family in I have to say no to my children wanting to have a ride .. no need to have coin activated rides out side your shops , roll the coin activity’s dotted around.
Food was basic and expensive.. £7.25 for a jacket potatoes then drinks , it’s a. Potato with cheese or beans,
In poor weather picnic area is no good at all lack of under cover bench’s , if it raining you have no place to have a picnic , so if your going and weather looks iffy expect to put £45 on the day for food ,
Druscillas is starting the season looking a bit tired ,
Staff were great very helpfu,
Explorer cafe need to sort out better COVID catering system as moment there’s a que or weather turns you can’t give you COVID practice
Decent selection of animals up to kids of say 10 after that nothing really to excite them
Any kids over 10 would get bored in 1/2 a day and considering the cosy I don’t find that good value

I took my daughter to Drusillas for a Reptile encounter - it was amazing ! She held 3 snakes, met a bearded dragon, a blue tongued skink, some tropical insects and an adorable armadillo. Our Zoo keeper was very knowledgeable and put us at ease with the animals. It was super to see behind the scenes - we've been coming to Drusillas since she was a baby so it was very exciting to see how the animals are cared for and how things are organised
I think Drusillas have adapted well to Coronavirus restrictions , there was plenty of space, not too long to queue for rides despite it being a weekend and loads of hand sanitiser everywhere. The new Dinosaur area is fantastic too, we had a whale of a time and can't wait until we can come back again :-)

The park is very well laid out and there is ample parking just a short walk from the main entrance. The animals all appear to be well looked after and have spacious enclosures, simulating their natural habitats as closely as possible. The guide map helps you to navigate the park easily and the park itself is just the right size for a daytrip. There is a good refreshment area, although it was a shame that some of the shops were not yet open due to the pandemic. Although we didn't use the park train, it looked very good and ideal for children. Accessibility around the park for disabled visitors was excellent, the pathways were paved, not gravelled. Apart from the numerous animal exhibits, there are lots of other activities to keep children occupied. The only minor negative (and it is very minor) was the singing chickens in the farmland area. It was very repetitive and laboured the point of the need to sanitise.

Great Day with my 2 year's daughter who enjoyed the playground , the slides , the little train and the zoo.

I recently had the chance to be a zoo keeper for the day - WOW what an incredible experience. The keeper with me was friendly and knowledgeable and let me do as much as I wanted. From hand feeding sloths, meerkats and lemurs to holding, snakes, lizards and chinchillas and helping feed penguins, capybaras and otters. Plus so much more! It was worth every penny - a truly unforgettable experience ♡

Excellent day out. The park is a perfect size for our 2 and 5 year old. Because of covid there's a limit of numbers of people so there was no queueing
