Long queues for the train even with social distancing but it was still summer holidays so that shouldn't be surprising. It is a lovely zoo but the truth is the rides and the playground steal the little kids attention. Great day out. Was exhausted by the time we got home (as was the little one).

Love it here we had a brilliant day! The animals are really interesting and you can get up really close. Lots of interesting exhibits and things for kids to play with dotted around as you walk through. The adventure park and splash play are amazing and something to suit all ages. There are even a few rides - the carousel is particularly fun and it's all included in the entry fee. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing place lots to do very well managed and maintained animals look very happy and healthy also great value for money staff were lovely we will definitely be going back

Fun for all to be had

Gr8 entertainment for a family day out

Great day out with our 2 year old granddaughter. Lots of animals to see, she loved collecting the stamps for each one seen. Was lovely to see the new born meerkats too. Lovely rides for small people.

Such a good place

My family visited Drusillas with two younger children who thoroughly enjoyed the day out! It’s zoo has a whole host of animals, all with their own quirky characters in which you can watch them all for hours! Definitely make time for watching the gibbons due to their human like behaviour which leaves you mesmerized and in tears of laughter! The facilities are clean and there are social distracting measures in queue lines which are adhered to. As well, face coverings are mandatory in inside enclosures. The staff are very helpful, including a wonderful volunteer who took time to talk To us personally about the sloth and bat walk through enclosure, which was pretty spectacular! There are plenty of opportunities to sanitize your hands around the park, meaning your kids can still interact with fun physical features. Most things are open now including walk through enclosures and play areas. Nevertheless there were a few issues. There seemed to be no limited capacity on the amount of people entering the park making it very hard to social distance in busy areas and therefore hard to relax and enjoy yourself sometimes. In addition, be aware that not all attractions are included in the price (e.g. climbing wall, inflatable slide etc.) in which you pay extra for but hardly worth the value due to time constraints of use. Also, the queue for Starbucks coffee was ridiculously long due to only 1 member of staff serving at the kiosk at a very slow rate. I understand social distancing measures restricts the amount of staff you can have in one area, but there must be a more effective system in place. Please also note if queueing at the kiosk you will hear the constant sound of an elephant (funny at first but gets very annoying after 30 minutes of queueing). I would expect to see a duty manager actively sorting these problems out and creating easier ways to social distance throughout the park, troubleshooting these issues, while trying/aspiring to create the ‘best‘ day out. Apart from that, I would recommend taking young children to this spectacular zoo/park.

Amazing day out with the kids. The park handed sanitising and social distancing well.<br>Most attractions were open. They offered a banding system for access to the water park which was good however staff did say that most times were still available throughout the day.

This is the perfect day out for all! Few rides for the kids to go on which are being cleaned hourly. Mandatory sanitisation is required before any rides. Great covid precautions. Food in the restaurant is pretty good but expensive as to be expected in zoos/parks. Zoo section of the park is fantastic, better than drayton manor! Lots of different animals, birds and reptiles to see thoughout the walkthough! There was even baby meerkats when we visited! Overall an amazing day out.

Visited here on 29th August 2020 for our first family visit.
Positives:
The kids, aged 5 & 6 absolutely had an amazing day! Loved all the rides, especially the cheetahs and the hippo ride. They both were also a big fan of the adventure playground.
Lots of hand sanitizer stations dotted around set at heights for both adults and children.
Toilets were kept exceptionally clean.
Hand gel had to be put on before going on a ride.

Negatives:
having to pay extra money for the penguin plunge slide.
The park seemed over busy by the afternoon and it was very hard to social distance anywhere within the park, especially as being told that they had restricted the amount of people who were let in.

We paid for a close encounter experience with beavers and a capybara for our granddaughter's eighth birthday, which she loved. She spent almost an hour in the enclosure feeding them and learning facts about them from the keeper. Our granddaughter then went on all the rides in the park several times, and on the train, as well as visiting all the other animals.

We surprised our 3 grandchildren to a visit to Drusilla’s Park and we all had such a wonderful day out, there was so much to see and do. They especially loved the pre-arranged experience of feeding the Lemurs, it was the highlight of their trip. The keeper was very friendly, knowledgeable and excellent with the girls even though they asked so many questions and wanted to take a Lemur home! We then had lunch in the Explorer's Cafe which was excellent. We were very impressed with the amount of sanitiser stations and distancing reminders over the P.A. system and the route through the Zoo is well thought out and easy to follow. We all felt very safe and really enjoyed the day. Thank you Drusilla’s for making the day so special even though we picked a wet day to visit.

Visited with friends and our children on the 1st September.
An amazing day!
The rides were all set up with hand sanitizer, the staff were very helpful and great with the children & the queues moved quickly.
The restaurant staff were fantastic, it was very clean and all the tables were spaced out to make you feel safe.
Toilets all 1 family at a time and always clean
Fantastic experience considering the volume of people.
Definitely be returning.

We love this place and keep coming back. Lots to entertain whole family for whole day

We had a great family day out here, they are handling COVID-19 very well. The zoo tour had the kids captured throughout. There are good rides and a great park for younger kids. We will certainly visit this place again.

Good family outing and plenty for kids to do

Great day out with the kids. Nice and clean. Everyone polite and organised. Hand sanitiser everywhere. Great day out.

Really fun zoo and theme park for younger kids.

I bought my 9yr old a "Keeper for the Day" experience for Christmas 2019. She's animal-mad and she couldn't wait until March (beginning-just shy of Covid as it turned out!) She loved being responsible for chopping food and feeding animals; those lemurs are cheeky! I was with her throughout the day and got some amazing photos, and at one point I watched her as she was feeding the penguins and felt a burst of pride- she had grown up within minutes! Handling cold slimey fish (with gloves on) and not batting an eyelid about it, just making sure each penguin got their fair share and got their exercise too by swimming for it! She handled mice, a giant cockroach, chinchillas, fed a wide array of animals including lemurs and bats, cleaned out some animals and groomed others. Our real keeper/chaperone for the day was patient, kind, informative, encouraging and understanding. She was exceptional. I can't rate this experience highly enough although it brings out the brave in your children if they're a tiny bit fussy about slime, poo or smells!! They learn to get on with it!! Thank you so much Drusillas, a life-changing day she will remember forever!!❤

Amazing, kids really loved it and so much cheaper than chessington. A great day out! Due to the covid there are some rules to follow which was great and didn't really impact our day.

Iv been here numerous times and itd always been a good day out, but today the place was full of wasps, which i know the park cannot help, but there were no warnings before entering the park so for someone with a severe allergy this could be life threatening, two of my children were stung by the wasps, 7 and 1 yr old, in different areas and different times of our day out, we went to first aid who gave us a bag of ice then left us too it, they should however have told us to wash the areas of the sting to remove any venom, but they didnt, they also said they had wasp traps everywhere to control the problem, i saw 1 only. Anyway my toddler getting stung was the last straw i have triplets so the thought of the other 2 babies getting stung was too much and we left rather than risk it. The zoo is nice and lots of cleaners around but if anyone has a wasp allergy is be careful

Great day out

Small park. Ideal for small children and great climbing towers and frames.
