I took my daughter here after seeing it advertised locally and I'm so glad we came. The zoo area is really great and large and has a fantastic variety of animals, the white lions were very special. My daughter's favourite was the monkey that was just walking around picking it's nose! My favourite was the jaguar, it was so majestic. After the animals we walked over to the interactive dinosaur area. I thought my daughter would be scared but it was so well done she loved it. We also had some time in the softplay area so I could have a coffee, and then some time in the play park area. Fantastic value for everything that's included and we can't wait to go back!

Wasn’t sure what to expect ,but I had a great day feeding and learning about the different types of animals and reptiles that live there .All the creatures were very well looked after the zoo was clean and everyone was very friendly.The staff that I shadowed for the day were all brilliant and very informative a great big thanks to you all .

It was a birthday treat from my partner and turned out to be best day ever for me!
If you love animals, especially big cats, it is a bucket list experience. We had a big cat territory private tour before the park opened to the public. Our zookeeper guide was Shirley whom I can’t thank enough for telling incredible stories about individual animals that are living in the park and sharing her genuine passion for those beautiful creatures. We would stop by each enclosure to admire the animals and hear about their background, relationships and typical behaviour. Shirley has made it all ultra-interesting!
Best part of the experience was hand feeding gorgeous snow leopards – something I will never forget. The whole process is very well explained and safe, at no point I was scared or even uncertain. Animals appreciate you for giving them food by being very camera-friendly!
After feeding the cats you get to eat your breakfast as well – overlooking an enclosure that belongs to two playful tigers. Once you’re there, you never want to leave (until you start missing the snow leopards, jaguars and white lions – other residents of this wonderful park).

Paradise Wildlife Park is a great place for a family day out. We had three generations in our party and very much enjoyed our time there EXCEPT for our lunchtime experience in the Diner. We waited 15 minutes in the queue before ordering , then a further 20 minutes for our three separate orders to come. The last order that we waited for included two childrens meals. You can not keep small children waiting that length of time! My complaint was dealt with appropriately by the chef but management needs to step in here!

Went here on a weekday so nice and quiet. The Dinosaur trail was very good and they were very realistic. Saw lots of animals and they weren’t in cramped conditions which was nice to see.
Had lunch in the cafe which had a lot of choice. Reasonably priced.
We were there all morning as lots to see.
The admission price was reasonable apart from you have to pay for children two years and up which was expensive. I think they should higher the age as two is abit too much to pay at £16.00
I would recommend this park for a good day out.

We have been here 3 times recently taking the Grandchildren for their birthday treats. There is so much to do and see and the food was good value too. The children especially loved the Dinosaur Experience with life size moving replicas of the real ones that also make sounds too. The Children's play area has so much for them to do and the Dinosaur train is great fun as well. The last time we went was Halloween weekend and there was Face painting, Pumpkin Carving and a Quiz to do as you walked around the park with the chance to win an experience day. And when we visited in the Summer the children loved the pool too. All in all a great day out, for children and adults, would thoroughly recommend it.

We went here for the first time to do a red panda experience. Staff were friendly and helpful from the minute we arrived, the experience was great with plenty of time and information given. The zoo was slightly smaller then most but had plenty of animals and lots of talks/shows on for us to watch. The only downside of our red panda experience was the gift bags they gave you at the end we expected more then just leaflets and ads for the park, 1 fridge magnet a certificate and bunch of leaflet ads. Should get more gifts to do with your experience like a teddy or poster considering the amount of money you pay. Apart from that would still recommend people go.

We were a party of 3 adults, 2 kids. The children (age 10 and 12) did the red panda feeding experience which was excellent. The keeper was really great with them, and made the experience very interesting and educational. We really enjoyed the rest of the park and encountered quite a few keepers, all of whom were friendly and took time to talk to us.

We visited 12th October 2019 for our daughters 8th Birthday. We invited our family along so had ages of 2 to 58 years old with us.
The weather was so unfortunate and did not stop raining which we thought would ruin the whole day. We couldn't cancel the day due to pre booking our tickets.

When we arrived there was plenty of parking and the entrance is only a few steps away. The girls on the checkouts were friendly and gave our daughter birthday wishes and a birthday card which was such a lovely start to the day.

Inside is clean, with lots of places to eat, places to play and lots of animals to see up close.
We love this place and had plenty to do and keep us occupied. Our favourite being feeding the animals.

Only disappointment we had was even tho it was an hour before closing and there were no notices, we couldn't buy any more food to feed the animals, they shut the place to buy it. And then got sent around by a few people to different places to try and find the food. But every where we were sent they said they didnt have anything to do with it.

And when going in to the gift shop to do the sand art at 5pm (closing was 6pm). They told us we were not allowed as it was closed. But it was out on the table so we didnt really understand why.
Bit upsetting for our daughter as we had promised that could be her birthday souvenir and if we had known that they shut it earlier, we would have done it at the beginning of the day.

But other than that everything else was amazing.

Will be visiting again

Upon arrival the car park had plenty of spaces, but we had arrived a little early so this may have been why! We purchased tickets and entered the park promptly! Loads to do for the little ones, plenty of outdoor fun and indoor too! My partner had booked an experience for my 30th which was to feed the lions! Which was a little daunting at first, but the staff were very knowledgable and made me feel at ease! Well worth paying the extra for this once in a lifetime experience!

The New Jurassic Dinosaur attraction has been done with great attention to detail! My daughter loved this part the most! Gift shops are also a plus!

We will be returning, but with a view to spend the while day!

Took 2 and 5 year old. Had a great day. Plenty of loos! Lots of activities such as watching animals feed and talks about them. Was raining but plenty undercover. You can eat your picnic under cover if you wish. Soft play also enjoyed. I found the dinosaur trail quite scary!! Watch out for the ladt dinosaur you pass... Keep your distance!

Our granddaughter and we enjoyed the dinosaurs, lunch, play areas and train ride very much. Staff are friendly, and the place is well set out and sign-posted and clean. An effort had been made to mark Halloween.

But the animals fare less well, the enclosures feel neglected and small, and the animals are listless or out of sight.

I know the cages meet basic legal standards, but most zoos do much better than that these days.

Booked the experience as a birthday gift for my wife. Absolutely fabulous day and experience, Amy was the keeper who guided us through the experience and she was first class. Friendly and very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals. Perfect day, highly recommended.

Great little place - plenty of places to seat and eat. Toilet great.

Overall a really nice day out.

Get there early !!

We visited as my daughter had an experience booked with the Lemurs which we thoroughly recommend for any age. The keeper was very knowledgable and the experience was good value. Even though the weather was wet all the animals were able to be seen. We were impressed that the areas behind glass were very clear and the view of the animals was not distorted. We are looking forward to a return visit

Great discount for entrance with toddler with autism and carer. Lots to do. He really enjoyed the park / play areas, as well as the dinosaur trail. He was not fussed with the animals unfortunately but enjoyed every thing else on offer. I also thought it was amazing that in the park they had apparatus for children in wheel chairs to use.

Only down fall was I had to return my burger at the restaurant by the park as the bun had green mould on it.

My friends, family and I thoroughly enjoy visiting this park. I have been numerous times since I was a child and I have never been disappointed.

I reward my tinies good behaviour and this weeks reward was a trip to see the dinosaurs at World of Dinosaurs within, Paradise Wildlife Park.

First impression; it’s been 15 years since my last visit so maybe I’m not remembering correctly but the entrance does not look any different.

As it was a Friday, during time term there was plenty of parking and there wasn’t any cue to get in. All of the widows seemed closed to start with then a young girl appeared. I paid £20 for myself, my daughter was around £17 as she is over 2 (under 2s are free). Then the young girl passed me a folded leaflet and disappeared from the window. No “welcome”, “here’s your map”, “have a nice day” or any pleasantries at all. My daughter even tried to speak to her but I don’t think the girl even cared to realise.

As soon as we entered the park we grabbed a couple of drinks and headed straight to the World of Dinosaurs, entrance. It’s much more impressive than the entrance to the actual park.
1st stop was the dinosaur day care where we saw the skeleton of a baby dinosaur and a interactive baby dinosaur. There was a member of staff in there who held up one of the baby Dinosaurs for my daughter to look at which I thought was kind but again this member of staff didn’t speak either.
We left the day care and walked the dinosaur path. There are lots of different types of dinosaurs along the path, most of them move and have sound effects. There is a jeep in front of a Tyrannosaurus rex which is great for photos. We didn’t see a park photographer so we took our own.

At the end of the trail there is a dinosaur gift shop. As most gift shops are it’s quite expensive. Outside the gift shop there is a palaeontologist area where children can dust the sand about to discover dinosaur bones.

We did find the dinosaur train although it’s not actually located inside the, world of dinosaurs area. You have to pay £2 per passenger for the train ride. It lasts about 3 minutes and although there is dinosaurs on the root it really isn’t anything amazing. The end of the track looks as if you’re pulling into someone’s back garden.

We did look at the animals but we didn’t catch any talks or feeding times although we was there from midday until 5pm. It’s nice these animals are being looked after well but the enclosures could do with expanding when you think about the size their natural habitat would be.
The lionesses are beautiful as is the lion.

There are lots of little climbing frames and bits of play equipment around the park and also a few places to get food from although I’d recommend taking your own picnic.

How it is; If you don’t live too far away it’s worth giving this place a visit but it’s nothing to come out of your way for.
My little girl thought discovering the dinosaurs was roarsome.
If they spent more of their money on maintenance instead of employees that act like endangered species it would be more enjoyable.

We visited to celebrate out little boys 1st birthday and had a lovely family day out.
Easy to find and theres toilets in the main car park - a great idea after travelling!
The White Lions alone are worth visiting for, by far our favourite enclosure, we went there three times.
Any dinosaur fan young or old will love the dinosaur trail! Its brilliant, we had great fun going round settings the sensors off and taking photos.
We ate in the main diner. Was clean, warm and staff were friendly. Food as expected - ok but a little overpriced. In the warmer months we would take a family picnic as lots of outside benches.
Plenty to do for children who are walking + lots of play areas and activities to last the whole day.

I think for the size of the park and the cost of the entry, we expected a few more animals.

Quite expensive to take too many grandkids together but it’s a lovely zoo and the kids love it. Plenty to see and do but go early or you’ll run out of time! Quite reasonable to eat there. In the summer the small kids love the paddling pool.

Had a fantastic day doing the red panda experience. Joe was our guide, really polite and friendly and also knowledgeable. The red pandas were gorgeous and it was fantastic feeding them and taking photos. The experience only lasts 30 mins but it was amazing. The park itself was really quiet. The animals looked in good condition and were kept in clean conditions. I do agree though some of the enclosures could be bigger.
The dinosaur experience was Ok but I would prefer to see more animals.
On the whole an enjoyable day and I would recommend it.

Expensive for what it is, we wouldn’t of gone if we didn’t find a discount code online. The dinosaur park was very good with selfie points in front of many of them. Can feed some animals & walk through with them (our favourite were the zebras). Food was quite expensive but to be expected. Fantastic for children for a day out, lots do regarding children!

This is my 2nd trip to Paradise Park this year, and each time it does not disappoint.
Wonderful animals, all in very good condition, enclosures clean, and all the staff
that I have spoken too have been very informative and knowledgeable about there
animals. Most of the park disabled visitors can get round as it is mainly flat, of course
they would not be able to do the boardwalk which gives visitors great views of the
big cats, either on their eye level or above them, and also they would not be able to see
the gorgeous wolves as that involves 2 flights of steps, it is a pity that they are not
in the area opposite the racoons, where the wolves used to be a while ago now.
There are lots of things for the kids to keep them busy, and various eats and drinks
areas around the park. Also a very nice gift shop, and an excellent gift stall by the
Red Pandas, they have lots of nice things for adults to buy for other adults.
This is the place for all animal lovers, as they have a lovely collection of different
species.

It is an awesome day out for the kids as they get to do alot of activities in one visit. The kids can have a splash in the lagoon (weather permitting), play in the vast outdoor adventure play area as well as indoor play even before they get to see any animals and lets not forgot the highlight for my son, the dinosaur park. The play areas are so good that I have to drag them away so we can go see the wildlife.
We usually spend a minimum of 6 hours and they never want to go home.
As a mum of a child with autism, i get a discounted ticket so for 3 we always pay £24.60. I tend try and get a discount codes online as well to bring price to £24.60.
It is definitely good value and its best to bring a pack lunch to avoid buying food to make visit affordable.
It also helps that its only 20 mins drive from home.We will be back.

Family of four. Mum dad baby and toddler.
I'm on maternity leave so manager to go during the week out of school holidays and honestly this made it a lovely first time experience as it was empty so I could let my toddler run wild without worrying.
His favourite was of course the dinos.
Lovely old lady staff member was great with my son, very friendly.
So much to do and a nice change to your average 'zoo'
