My kids loved it, lots to do for little ones, indoor and outdoor play lots of animals and the dinosaur walk was brilliant.
we did think that the animals have very small enclosures though.. food massively over priced but to be expected.

Nice place we had a great time!
Only concern was the children's pool area the water wasn't clean it looked like as if the water doesn't get changed regularly throughout the day
may be the centre can make better arrangements for the pool area where the water is continously drained and refilled with fresh water maybe try to add some sort of chemical to keep germs out while still maintaining a friendly environment..
If the pool area didn't put me off with its poor hygiene I would had give it a 5 star!

Great place for kids. Not a lot of refreshment areas open at this time of year (March) but I imagine it'll be better in the summer. Good visibility of animals and easy to get around.

Great place to take the little ones but make sure to bring some pound coins for things like the train, water games and gift shop.
There are places to eat here but will be taking a packed lunch next time.

Great place for. Your little ones if they like animals and dinosaurs. You could get quite close to the animals. Our favourite were the meerkats. I not for animals in captivity but I guess they are safer than they would be in the wild with the current sad state of affairs.

What an absolutely amazing day! My girlfriend and I bought each other a zookeeper shadowing experience day for Christmas and it was everything we’d hoped for and more. The day included:
- helping to clean up (and meet) the alpacas
- helping to prepare food for the animals
- personally feeding the meerkats, red pandas, otters, squirrel monkeys and ring-tailed lemurs over the course of the day (yes, all of them!)
- handling, flying and feeding an Owl
- watching a bird show and big cat feed
- handling reptiles (including a tarantula!)
- two meals (breakfast and lunch)
- insightful information on all of the animals from the various zookeepers we worked with
- free time to look at the other incredible animals around the wildlife park.
All of the wildlife park staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond to make sure our day was one we’d never forget. It was clear the absolute passion each zookeeper had for their animals and the relationships they had formed.
Genuinely, one of the best days I’ve ever had and I couldn’t recommend this experience any more highly. If you are thinking of doing animal experience, this is the zoo to do it, and you may as well push the boat out for a full day experience as you see so many different things.
It is worth noting that every shadow zookeeper experience is slightly different dependent on what is going on on that day.
I would just like to personally thank everybody at paradise wildlife park for making our day completely unforgettable. Thank you!

We enjoyed an excellent visit and loved seeing animals at very close quarters with talks to enlighten us as to the work and conservation that is done with each animal group. The Tigers which we saw at really close quarters were fantastic as well as Jaguars. Feeding times are a great time to see each type of animal as they appear for the food and there is usually a talk to go with the experience. There are toilets, two cafes and an undercover seating area to observe the Lions. A great place for children at any time of year, including school groups. The shops are well stocked with a good variety of gifts.
In better weather there are outside picnic tables. Really rated the visit.

My wife and I took our college age daughter to the park (which is an small but charming American style Zoo) and had a chance to feed the snow leopards. Its an easy trip from downtown London via tube to train and then the park shuttle. Took less than an hour each way. It isn't large like San Diego, and the dinosaur section is silly, as they even have a model of the dinosaur created from scratch by the scientists in the latest Jurrasic Park movie. However, you can hand feed either the big cats or the Red Pandas. We've seen Red Pandas in a few zoo, most are lazy. But the pair at Paradise really put on a show of climbing and cleaning and a few lucky people (for an additional fee) got to go into the attraction and feed them. Very endearing. My daughter and I chose to feed the snow leopards. which acted like the largest house cats in the word, rubbing up against the fence and following the keeper. You can wear gloves if you don't want to touch the meat (horse) directly, but I choose to try bare handed. Just like my cat's tongue back home, just 50 times larger. So amazing to be just a few feet from such a huge cat. Our guide was fantastic, with lots of knowledge of both the cats and the zoo. Crazy fun!

We went on a cold winters sunday and I'm so glad we did as it wasnt busy at all. You could easily see the animals without feeling like you had to push through the tutting crowd or try to jump to look over the worlds tallest mans head. Like normal though, a lot of enclosures were 'having work done' but like the ignorant people we are, we still looked for that hiding animal! Went for a coffee in the sky with the tigers and the lady was extremely sweet and very protective over her tigers. Then went for a meal in the main area where the young lad couldn't cope with the 3 orders in one and needed them one at a time but all in all, had a great family day and went home shattered.

My husband did the Feed the Wolves experience here - he had a brilliant time. The staff and volunteers are all so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable - Pia with the wolves and Karen at Tiger cafe particularly. This is a lovely zoo, easy to cover in a day.

We Received this experience as a present and had a great day, We arrived at the discovery centre where Margaret made us very comfortable with tea and biscuits while we waited for our slot. Rob our guide then took us to the red pandas enclosure with some bamboo and apple for their feed. the information and talk that Rob gave us was excellent and you could see he is dedicated to his job. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of this experience .even though it was raining on and off we enjoyed the day and the rest of the zoo .
Well done to all at P.W.P
