Its ok. The dinosaur part is a bit of fun and the proximity to the lions with windows in their sleeping areas was awesome to be so close. It is a bit expensive for what is there.

We had a feed the big cat experience as a gift. It was great from start to finish. All staff are very welcoming and helpful.
There is plenty to see and do at PWP especially if you have children.
Our experience saw us feeding the white lions. It was great and made all the more enjoyable by thier keeper Josh. He was very knowledgable and clearly passionate about the animals and his work. Josh took his time to tell us not only about the lions but also the park itself and its ethos. He is a real asset to the park.
We can highly recommend a visit to PWP.

Visited on a hot day Wednesday, 17th July. I can recommend the Dinosaurs moving and roaring, must of cost a mint to create, great wooded area. Yes close to the wolves as another visitor commented on, i would think the wolves get peace and quiet at night. I know feed back on the cages from manager said that the area is the recommended size, but i felt sad when i left after visiting, other zoos with so much more room. That said you really get a good close up of the animals and not so far for young children to walk. The keepers were very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Not impressed with the sandwich fridge it did not feel cold even with the shutter down and expensive. Would recommend taking a picnic.

So much to do, we took grandparents and 18 month old and we all had a great time. The dinosaurs were amazing, animals well looked after and everything was clean and well managed. We spent all day there and got 20% off with a voucher code. Splash park is a great addition too although it would have been nice to have a designated space for toddlers.

We had an experience each, I chose a Snow Leopard, my partner a tiger. Hannah, our keeper showed us where their food was prepped and explained the stringent procedures they have to adhere to, all very enlightening. then to the animals. this is done at their leisure and it took a little while before Panja decided to stroll over. He was so gentle in taking his food and was just an amazing creature, such a privilege to feed him. My partner managed to feed both Siberia and her twin sister Aleena. The whole day was informative, Hanna was very knowledgeable and throughout the day you got the feeling that it was all about conservations and fund raising for various charities. At no point did it feel like the animals were exploited, we felt that they were indeed ambassadors for their breed. The ethics, strategies and aims of the Park are all to promote sustainability and this is built in to all of the talks too. Highly recommended, the cost of the experience helps to fund all of the charitable work too. The dinosaur park was enjoyable also, giving us an idea of their size, all in all it was a great day out

Just got home after visiting Paradise Wildlife Park Wow
From the moment we arrived there and was introduced to Josh being given a guided tour of the Big Cats to the magical moment when we fed Panja the Snow Leopard and also meeting Nick the Volunteer and listening to his wonderful stories get your book printed

Our grandson loves animals and dinosaurs, so this seemed like the perfect place to bring him. It was a beautiful summer day, during term time, there were plenty of school parties, but it was not crowded. Its not too big to get round in day, with plenty of time to stop for a picnic. I was impressed by the animatronic prehistoric creatures, the general layout of the zoo, the friendliness of the staff, and the reasonable cost of entry, the grandson was too, well the animals & dinosaurs anyway! - job done.

Although I had a voucher, I still found this to be quite and expensive day out hence the four stars. We started in the dinosaur area and little one really enjoyed the models with their animatronics and sounds. She only got a fright twice and was very proud of herself for that! Then onto the animal area. Lots to see. Good signage and plenty of space despite the school parties which arrived later in the day, after lunch we went to the larger play area. Four year old loved this and ran around happily for an hour. She even queued for the swing over and over. Yes. Swing. Singular. There is only one and there was often a queue. They could do with a few more. On the whole a good day out for a one off treat.

We took the District Beaver scouts last Saturday and they had a great time. There are loads of animals to see in close proximity as well as plenty of exciting slides, things to clamber over and space to run about. The Dinosaur park is brilliant and there is a warden in hand to explain the models. The cafe has great meals at reasonable prices and there is even a soft play area and a lagoon. I would recommend this zoo to everyone.

Great day out for all at a reasonable price. So many improvements over the past 2 years. You can see Lions, Jaguar, Cheetahs and many more. Meerkats and monkeys you could watch all day. Activities and educational talks if you want them. Kids playground aplenty. Picnic tables everywhere !!
Plenty of parking too.
The grandchildren were spark out in the car on the way home. Deep joy !!
Many thanks to all the staff and volunteers for an enjoyable day

I attended here as a nursery trip with my little boy who was just under 2 at the time, we had a discounted entry fee and 'Under 2 yrs' go for free! I can't comment on the cost of a regular ticket as I didn't pay this. We went on a very got day at the end of June and packed for a full day out (we had packed lunch)
First off the location isn't too far outside London and we planned a return visit tomorrow for my little one, husband and myself.
As soon as you get through the entrance you can access all areas of the wildlife park this includes the small splash/paddle park, zoo, dinosaur feature walk, dinosaur train, park area, restaurants, snack bars and souvenir shops.
We got there as a group and immediately headed for the dinosaur walk think Jurassic park style with dinosaur figurines, some move and make noise, others have props in front to take pictures and each dinosaur has a small fun fact sheet with basic stuff perfect for kids.
once you exit the walk you come out into the gift shop and most stuff was reasonable some stuff I thought was expensive but all the gifts in this shop are dino themed.
we then went round to the zoo next and this includes big cats (bird which I missed) and all the smaller animals you would except we didn't sit for any of the animal talks but these would be great for kids slightly older.
After we took a quick moment to grab a snack and eat and drink some more. The paddle pool is really small and can get very busy but if you get there at a quiet moment it's great there's a little slide in the middle and shallow enough for young ones to walk through.
There is also an indoor soft play area with restaurant (handy if parents want to sit and grab a quick drink and kids can play) I personally did not use this and so I can't elaborate much on it.
A point of reference I glanced at one of the restaurant menus kids meals were around £5 adult meals were around £6/7, Ice creams were about £2.50+ depending on the cone. There was also slush, drinks and doughnuts being sold as well.
I would totally recommend for kids that love either animals or dinosaurs as they will really enjoy it and can play on the park area an paddle if it's lovely weather.
I came fully prepared with cold ice water in a flask to keep little one hydrated and small snacks like fruit and vegetable sticks. We packed a little towel change of clothes, hat etc, I also had my buggy and if you do have a little one they will be tired there's quite a bit of walking for them to do.

What A Brilliant Day, We went with the Local Scout group with 3 coaches. read the reviews so looking forward to it. Just off the M25 at J25 I think.
We got there and we was pleased from the start. Going through to the dinosaurs Section. Built to scale so as you can Imagen Huge. All moving & Life Like. Brilliant. Then We covered the whole park, Lions, Tigers, Monkeys, Giraffes, And so much more. We took our own food. Plenty of Benches to sit on. Plenty Of eating Stands. Bit Pricey, But you should Expect that. We had a go on the train that went round in a figure of 8.
We would go back again though, There was me My Wife, 2 Childern 14 & 18. This is a Wild life park with a differance. And O yes, With advance notice you can feed the Lions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day out here for our son's 4th birthday. He loved the dinosaur park and we were particularly impressed with the added 'magic' of 'meeting' a baby dinosaur held by one of the members of staff.
There is a wide range of animals - lions, tigers, meerkats, camels, penguins, wallabies, lemurs, otters, snakes to list just some of them. Something for any animal lover!
Our son also enjoyed the various play areas within the park, and happily spent a good half an hour in the indoor soft play area (included within the ticket price).
The only downside we experienced was the long queues for the toilets as a result of the numerous school groups - but that isn't the park's fault.
Food is also a little pricey - but the foot long hot dogs are really tasty!
Word of advice - if you know you are going to visit Paradise Wildlife Park, we'd recommend booking tickets online in advance to make a saving.

The sea is great for all the family with you have children or you don't. It has a very large collection of animals and lots of big cats. I also have dinosaurs the are animated which are brilliant.Prices are ok to get in have a variety of food places to eat and drink has a nice little gift shop. Toilets are clean and staff are very helpful and informative are there animals. The animals are well cared for. Highly recommend a visit when in this area is a hidden gem that all the family would love. A must visit.

First time here loved the dinosaurs area , zoo animals very clean , loved how close that all were , very good parks An big enough all kids , staff friendly, weather was super hot the restaurant refilled the kids waters up . Well befo go again

My good lady and myself had a lovely day out here for my birthday treat. I also had one of the experiences feeding the Tigers, which i found absolutely fantastic. Would recommend you take your own lunch as the food is all fast food and generally fried.

The dinosaur park was brilliant too, the kids will love it.

We were really pleased to be visiting after the grand opening of the new white lion enclosure, and weren't disappointed! What a fantastic enclosure, hopefully the standard for others to now be set against. So many great viewing areas and photo opportunities. And loads of space and enrichment for them. The other cat enclosures could do with maybe some more areas better suited for photography, but we had a really enjoyable day overall and would visit again entirely for the white lions. Moto is a sight to behold! Also I must mention the zoo has its own mini bus pick up/drop off service from Broxbourne station at a very reasonable £3 return, which was a lifesaver for us and again makes the return trip even more likely.

I was given a "Shadow a Zoo Keeper for a day" experience by a friend for Christmas.

I would describe it as a private tour of the park where you were taken behind the scenes and given the opportunity to feed and look after the animals.

Have to say that every member of staff I met were so passionate about their work and knew every detail about the animals they were looking after. They really are a credit to their profession and the park.

I wouldn't like to pinpoint my favourite part of the day ....It was all so fantastic.

Very Highly recommended.

Took a group of students here exploring the businesses USP etc. Talk was excellent for sixth form level cohort and we had a tour of a great tourist activity with loads to offer. The talk was tailored to the A level spec and the students learnt a lot. I got to see lions close up! We will be back! Enthusiasm of staff is infectious.

We visited the park yesterday and found a good selection of animals to see. Enclosures we’re open and good viewing points for photos.

However, the safari diner was disappointing. The diner was fairly quiet yet customer service was slow with staff standing around talking while the queue for food got bigger and bigger. Food prices were quite high. We opted for the chicken burgers as £4.90 for a pre packed sandwich was pretty expensive. Once finally served; tables were dirty and the food was cold , boring and bland. The same customer service was again seen at the bar with extra long waits with no staff on the bar.

I would return again but with my own picnic next time.

Went to Paradise Park last Sunday (16th June) and had a fabulous time.
Really beautiful and amazing animals to see, and the new White Lion Enclosure
is really stunning, and you can see the lions so clearly where ever they are, and you can even see them when they go indoors, wonderful for photographers.
They have a lovely collection of animals, beautiful snow leopards, tigers, jaguars,
cheetah to name but a few. Lots of things to keep the children amused, and the park
is also ideal for people in wheelchairs and plenty of area to sit and relax as well.
I think there is something for everybody.
Well worth a visit for anybody who loves all animals.

I got to be a zoo keeper for the day, what a great experience, all the animals were just stunning too see, great to learn new things about them all, all the team that looks after them, all do a fantastic job, there friendly and passionate about what they do, the animals are so well looked after, thanks again team for an amazing day, I loved all the animals but my favourite has to be the tapirs, give gabby another stroke from me.

Took our grandchildren here. We'd bought our grandson a sponsorship of one of the park's red pandas and this was his chance to see them. He was very happy to be able to get so close. In fact throughout the park this was one of the best places to see animals at close quarters. There are plenty of food outlets including one that is up on a walkway near the tigers - great to get close pictures. The dinosaur park area was voted a lot of fun too. Good mix of things to do for kids with play parks.

My wife and I took our nearly 2 year old grandson to Paradise Wildlife Park at the weekend. It consisted of the prehistoric world of animatronic dinosaurs from T-Rex to Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Triceratops, Pteranodon etc as well as the real Animal Kingdom of big cats such as cheetah, snow leopard, jaguar, lions, tigers, monkeys, wallabies, emu, lemurs, zebra, tapir, otters, alligator, snakes, cockroaches +++. This is a fabulous wildlife park with lots of things for the younger children to do including an adventure play area outdoors, an indoor soft play area, a jungle stage with regular performances by the staff. Plenty of options for food but quite expensive ( nearly £5.00 for a cheese and pickle sandwich and a similar amount for a large hot dog) but there are picnic areas so best option is bring your own food to save some money. If you book online you can save some money. Adult tickets at around £18.00 online are good value but young children at around the same cost is expensive. Having said that, the park is a good one and this is an all day activity so probably on a par with the cost of other theme park sites.

First visit great with children especially fir our grandchildren and a fourth birthday we had a wonderful time and we will be back to see the dinosaurs they were brilliant and a great hit with our party x
