I visited with my 2 daughter's aged 9 and 11. I was a bit sceptical as it was a freezing cold Sunday morning. I needn't have worried, we arrived just after 9.30and didn't leave until after 4. The dinosaurs were amazing and we went round there 3 times. Especially the t reg with the jeep in font of him you can sit in while he roars at you. We all love the big cats and got to see most of them close up. We fed the alpacas, goats and sheep with the £1 bags of food we purchased. We ate at the safari diner and thought it was quite reasonable £18 for the 3 of us. Plenty of play areas for the kids including an indoor soft play. All in all a great day out and somewhere well definitely be visiting again

My husband booked me a rainforest and sloth experience as a Christmas present- we had a great day wandering around all the other enclosures first and watching some of the other animal feeding sessions.
Lucy who led us through our experience was super nice and really knowledgeable - teaching us all about the armadillo and monkeys in the same enclosure as the sloths which was a great bonus. Being able to get up close and hand feed the animals was a really special experience - definitely recommend a visit here!

Took our 5 year old Grandson over the Christmas break and he loved the dinosaurs (as did I) and all the animals in the Park which is generally well laid out and clean. Animals looked in good condition too and the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Apart from all the rides, playgrounds etc which hardly seem necessary, what lets it down are the catering outlets.
Since it was cold, we didnt fancy a picnic outside so opted for Safari Sams Diner. This Lowest Common Denominator food. Almost all with fries, overpriced and served on paper plates with plastic cutlery. Our bowl of soup was tasty but small and the accompanying bread a warmed up soft 'baguette'; all for £4.50. Very few healthy options and expensive. Avoid if you can.

A wildlife park which includes a soft play area for younger ones. Adventure play area. Lots of eating places plus picnic sites if you bring your own. In a lovely wooded setting with plenty of free car parking on site. Disabled facilities, baby changing facilities and lovely helpful knowledgeable staff. Recently opened dinosaur exhibit to walk round or go on the Rex Express mini railway. Many different animals in natural settings, watch them being fed or invest in an animal experience. Open every day of the year except Christmas Day and mini bus pick up and return from from Broxbourne rail station. Highly recommend a day out there.

Stumped for a birthday present for my wife I arranged for her to hand feed a big cat. The keeper was very friendly and showed us around the areas where the public do not normally see, such as the animal food preparation areas. She chose a white lion and he was magnificent, the feeding took around ten minutes and almost a month later.she has still not stopped smiling.
The park is divided into two areas, one a small animal park with a lot of building going on, and around a third of the area fenced off. There is a fairly large collection of animals in what look like quite small enclosures with a couple of cases "circling" which gives the impression of a bored animal.
The other side is a "Blackpoolish" amusement park with a dinosaur attraction. I think if I had taken my grandson we would have both been dissapointed with this area. There are lots of coin in the slot items which could make an expensive visit. There are some large exhibits such as a steam train and fire engine which are beyond their best and fenced off. This would have crushed my four year old grandson who would have been desperate to get on them, they need to be repaired, covered up or removed. The dinosour attraction looks very new and the moving exhibits are very good. The building works and diversions made it difficult to follow the map but hopefully that will change when the works are completed.
This is only my opinion and I don't have to balance the books, but I think I would prefer it if the animals were given bigger enclosures at the expense of the amusement park.

Nice place to visit with family. An hour and half time driving from Stratford. Very large parking area. Plenty of activities there like viewing zoo, feeding animals, a day photography course etc. Details available on their website. Me and my daughter enjoyed a lot. We could only visit dinosaur park and zoo as we had very limited time. We are again going their with whole family. Great place to learn and fun.

Had the best time visiting Paradise wildlife park with the family! Highly recommended for everyone, families big or small.
They have plenty of onsite parking, beautiful surrounding.
At the moment they have plenty of groundwork going on to make it even more amazing for the animals and people visiting. I believe ready soon.
So much to see and do, the zoo ground is lovely, the playground area is omg kids paradise and the Dino area is just wow. Was so nice to experience it all seeing the amazements on my little ones face, priceless.
Wheelchair accessible brilliant for all.
Love the fact that they have plenty of recycling bin out, so no excuse! Just wish everyone would use it and not assume staff at the park are there to pick it up... seen a young staff member going around picking the litter, helped her a little felt so sorry for her. At this age we are living climate change etc ppl should be able to sort their rubbish accordingly. 🤦🏻♀️
Highly recommended to all ages and abilities.
Will be back soon

Having taken my 6 year old foster child for the day I found that there are not enough disabled toilets around the site. Some of the animals could not be readily seen for a child in a wheelchair as some of the viewing Windows are to high for him to see from his chair.
The children's play area with in-store restaurant has a child changing area with 2 toilet cubicles being used by adults and children at the same time giving no privacy.
Some of the walking areas between exhibits are not easily accessible for a wheelchair. The dinosaurs exhibits are fantastic and made his day.

Basically this is a 4 for the zoo and the dinosaur. Both are great but the rest of the place needs updating.

Lovely quiet zoo, we went during winter period so wasn’t too busy. An amazing experience getting to pet the meerkats, would definitely go again. I enjoyed going in winter as it felt like you was alone with the animals on the forest as not many people were about!
