Fantastic Family Day Out at Hertfordshire Zoo!

My family and I visited Hertfordshire Zoo on a sunny warm day and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Arriving around 11am, parking was a breeze with friendly staff guiding us to overflow when necessary. We were pleasantly surprised to find no long queues at the gates.

The zoo itself is well-kept and maintained, offering something for everyone. With my 16-month-old daughter, 12-year-old son, my partner's 9-year-old daughter, and her parents, it truly catered to the entire family. Informational spots were plentiful, allowing us to learn while having fun.

The highlight for our children was undoubtedly the Dinosaur park, which provided a magical and unique experience. The staff were not only friendly but incredibly informative. When my daughter inquired about the constant plant watering, a staff member took the time to explain its importance and even offered to involve her in the process.

We made full use of the on-site facilities, from restaurants to little shacks, and especially enjoyed the well-maintained splash park. Overall, Hertfordshire Zoo provided us with a memorable day out filled with fun, learning, and friendly faces. Highly recommended for families looking for a fantastic day of adventure!

Great day trip here!
It was a Saturday and filled with kids but was a good experience with the amount of space and animals you get to see fully worth it!
Not as massive compared to London but definitely worth the drive specially in the countryside!

Visited on a bank holiday. Had an amazing time. Just a general feedback would be that most of the animals were either not in their cages (empty cages) or were just laying down like the lion in the photos above. Saw the tiger and Jaguar walking about.
Overall a really good place for pre-school age children.

It is a small zoo with many animals like the White Lion, Amur Tiger, Leopard, Jaguars, etc. But the thing that stole my heart was the Dino World section 🙃. Visit this at the end of the day, and you won't be disappointed.Visited on

So much better now than when it was Paradise Park! The enclosures look bigger, there's more activities and the dinosaurs are brilliant.
My grandsons loved it, it was accessible for my mobility scooter, apart from the pull doors in the jaguar jungle, had to wait for someone to hold them open. Maybe make them automatic doors, there were lots of buggies and mobility scooters.
We had a truly amazing day, even if the churros were a bit under cooked!!

We are longtime members of the zoo (back from when it was Paradise Wildlife Park) and it's hands down one of our favourite places to still go, even though our kids are tween/teenagers now.

There is so much to do, for all ages, whatever the weather, and all for one price as the entry covers the zoo itself, all the animals talks, playground, paddling pool, car museum, indoor soft play & cafe, playgrounds and the amazing Dinosaur walk.

The variety of animals feels just right and they are constantly making improvements and adding new or improved habitats/enclosures, all beautifully planned and finished. My personal favourites are the otters and the red pandas.

There is a good restaurant on site plus plenty of covered picnic areas, plus snack/coffee kiosks and ice cream!

Lots of events throughout the years plus late openings in the summer. A huge choice of animal encounters and experiences offer, plus so much great conservation and charity work both here and abroad.

Ample free parking, plenty of toilets, baby change and extremely accessible for buggies, wheelchairs and mobility scooters as so much is ramped. This means everyone can get a great view of the animals.

A great place that we will continue to visit and support 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed my time there with my children. I have been here when it was paradise wildlife park many moons ago however returning back now with five children all under 10 was brilliant. The children had an amazing time and the new Jurassic park feature was brilliant 2. Free face painting for adults and children was also a nice touch.
