Although out of season the park still had a good variety of animals and all looked well cared for.
The restaurant however was not a good place to eat. We had burger meals that used tasteless meat and the rolls were dry.
If you need to eat I would take a picnic.

Went here on a very wet Saturday. Decent selection of animals, even though many were in their shelters you can view through the windows.
The new dinosaur part is very well done and kids would love it.
All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.
The cafe was reasonably priced. £7 for a burger, chips and drink with the option of adding cheese for £1.20 which I thought was a bit much.
The enclosures all looked very clean and spacious. Even though there were talks all day we got around the whole zoo in around 3 hours, with a lunch stop. Maybe it was cause of the rain we got through quicker.

I'd never heard of this place before but was looking for something to do on the way to a weekend trip in London. This place is great! There is a wide selection of different animals to see and we were particularly impressed by the wooden walkways that enabled good views of the many enclosures. The staff were very friendly and the grounds extremely tidy and well kept. I would definitely recommend a visit here as you can easily spend several hours here for a very reasonable entry fee.

Bought my husband a "feed the big cars" experience for one of his 70th birthday presents as I know he loves them, especially tigers. When we first arrived we wondered if we would feel out of place having no grandchildren to bring with us as this is very obviously a family park. However that definitely wasn't the case. We started off by seeing the small but packed "Speedway Museum" there looked after by a lovely lady who was very knowledgeable on the subject. We then did a tour of the big cats and took some photos trying to decide which sort we wanted to feed. Our mind was really made up by the fact that we got fairly close to the lions, white tiger & snow leopards anyway but the orange tigers were barely visible so we plumped for them. Our guide to feed them was Shirley who was very informative and good at instilling confidence to do the deed ! I had been a little nervous beforehand but with Shirley I was fine. I loved it and my husband was quite overcome with the closeness of it all and says he wants to return to feed Moto the lion next !
We saw most of the other animals too and even walked round the very well constructed Dinosaur Land. All in all we had a very full happy day made even better by the friendliness of all the staff we encountered.

I try not to rate based on just what I want/expect but here I think I must as it is a bit niche....or maybe it does know... This park in my opinion would be great for childern under 7....that's it.

It was clean, there are various play areas, fairground type amusements, a dinosaur experiance and a train (not running when I went, I think because schools not out). The animals in some cases could do with more space, but they look well and the staff do truely care for them. It will also not take the whole day to go round, so with youngsters you'll not leave feeling you have missed out/had to drag them round so you can see more.

I can't give more stars because I just don't think It knows what it is.
As a wildlife park, the collection seemed a bit random and the signage was not very informative compared to other parks. As an adult going round the dinosaurs experience it was cheesy and signs saying Velociraptors were the size of tukeys, while the model in front of me was my height. Made me question things for the rest of the day/compare other dino sizes that were equally off.

So if not a wildlife park it's an amusment park. In which case, it needs some bigger/faster rides (maybe even for 6 year olds). On the other hand you can pay to hand feed the animals. This almost stopped me going as it goes against my conservation views, for the general public to do this, but actually seeing the red pandas being fed, I wanted to do it too.

Had a wonderful day with the two grandchildren. Our 2 1/2 year old especially loved the new Dinosaurs section and went away with a cuddly toy that goes to bed each night with her. (Our 28 year old was also excited)

Had an excellent day recently at Paradise Park, the highlight being the Dinosaur Park. Attended with grand daughter aged 2 and husband in electric wheelchair. The Dinosaur Park was first class and husband able to travel around OK. Very lifelike creatures which moved as approached. The zoo section also laid out well and was easy to negotiate. There is also a play and splash area but ran out of time for these. Good disabled facilities and parking near entrance. Travelled an hour to get there but well worth it. Would imagine very busy in school holidays. Will return.

Lots if changes including name of park, was pleasantly surprised lots of things set up and designed to educate and to get kids to participate in ...Lots of animals and a playground. The snack bars were a bit pricey for a burger feel if prices right would probably sell more. Overall good fun.

From arrival to the park until leaving our experience was 10/10 from parking, cleanliness, helpful staff, reasonable prices, child friendly and a relaxed atmosphere it was all amazing we joined a large private group and the park and staff were extremely accommodating. the selection and close proximity of the animals was a big attraction for us and the kids.
Thank you

My girlfriend loves sloths - we got a voucher to feed sloths - I think this was one of the best things she has ever done, and that includes meeting me :D

As well as the keeper activity the ticket allowed us entry to the park. The park was brilliantly maintained, it had activities for young and old, and it was fun - it even had an animatronic dinosaur walk through!! All the staff we encountered were enthusiastic and friendly. We had a brilliant time!

Our main purpose of the visit was to see the animatronic dinosaurs and we were not disapointed! The sounds and movement were very life like! Plenty of opportunities for selfies and (optional £2) train ride to see more models was enjoyed by our 6yr old and 3 yr old. Our boys loved all the climbing playground equipment and especially the cold lagoon pool! I would have prefered slightly heated water for my paddle. There are plenty of food outlets but queues will inevitably build at peak times, it would be helpful if tables and rubbish were cleared promptly so people can find a seat and the indoor drinks bar stayed open all of the time (sometimes it was open, sometimes unmanned). Big cats were fantastic to watch and we especially enjoyed feeding time at the end of the day before we returned home with tired feet.

Great Park for children with many (too many?) attractions apart from the animals. As an adult I was enjoying the Park a lot as well but was missing educational material (info, books, ...) which is quite basic and mainly aimed at children. The main restaurant’s food was only average and parts of it quite filthy. A very friendly staff and the overall great impression of the Park however make for 4 points.

We've done many keeper days and other animal experiences in many countries and I have to say this was the most organised/professional one we've ever done!

We started off at the Discovery centre where we were given a hot drink and biscuits.

Our first keeper for the day (Matt) came to pick us up exactly at 9am and took us to the alpacas. This is where we did our only actual work of the day (clearing out the alpaca enclosure). We only did this for about 20 mins and the rest of the day was all play and no work!

Matt, like all the keepers we met was very nice, friendly, knowledgeable and clearly trained in the art of taking to the public.

We've been in many days like this where the keepers clearly get no training and are a bit awkward or uncomfortable taking to strangers.

After this we met Amy who took us to the reptile house. She took us round and told us about all the animals then we went into the back room to meet a very cute turtle.

Then we met Sam who took us to the birds. We got to fly an owl and hand feed it which was great fun.

After we watched the bird show (which was only 15 mins long but very good) we were taken into the lorikeet house to feed them which was very entertaining!

Then we met Tom who we helped collect some animals for the animal antics show. We helped get rats and a ferret. Then we watched the animal antics show which was entertaining although felt a bit dated/cheesy and not quite as professional as the bird show.

Then we met Emily who took us to see the small mammals. By far the most fun part of the day!

We got to see the raccoons being trained and then we got to feed them (through the bars but they reach out their little cute hands through the bars to take the food from your hands!)

Then we put food around for the otters (unfortunately too dangerous to hand feed) and then got a front row seat when they were let out to eat.

She then took us to a back room where we saw a tenrec (which didn't want to come out to play unfortunately but no animals are forced out if they don't want to which is nice)

We also saw the amazingly cute sugar gliders.

Onto James. He took us to the squirrel monkey enclosure where we hid food everywhere for them. Then we watched while they ate.

Then we spent a long time (in a good way!) feeding the lemurs. They're so friendly and jump all over you. They take food from your hands and although we've feed lemurs many times it's still just as fun each time we do it!

Ashleigh then took us round the farm and talked about all the animals there.

Finally we met Tom who took us in to feed the tapirs. While he did the talk to the public we stroked the tapirs and watched them eat.

The day included breakfast and lunch (I think the vouchers should have been given to us when we checked in but we had to go back for them) which included food from their various places. However it wasn't entirely clear what was or wasn't allowed although we did eat plenty.

(Although the food service at the Sam's diner was very slow and not the best food in the world)

Even though some of the keepers that showed us round were interns they all came across very well and whatever training is done here need to be rolled out to other zoos doing these experiences.

The whole day was planned very well and every time we finished with one keeper, the next one was ready for us.

Overall an amazing day and we would highly recommend this to anyone. We will do this again in the future!

I had read mixed reviews about the paradise wildlife park.
I bought the tiger tea experience for us. Not many dates available so had to book well in advance.
Despite the 3 hour journey to the park we had a great day!
The world of dinosaurs was fun. Then the went onto the Big Cats tour. This was so interesting. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We have never been that close to lions and tigers. Also saw leopard, cheetah and Jaguars.
The tour ended with a buffet of sandwiches, drinks and cakes. All very tasty, good choice and you could have as much as you want. Were not stale as some had experienced. We sat at the table next to the window, so had full view of the Tigers enclosure. We also saw the Tigers feed.
We also saw Monkeys, meerkats, zebra, tapir, penguins and camels.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day! Booked through Buy a gift! Highly Recommend it!!

at my age birthday surprise packages can be more alarming than exciting but this surprise was beyond my wildest imaginings. the park was intimate, the animals happy and well cared for but the icing on the cake was my rain forest experience where i went to feed and interact with sloths, pygmy monkeys and a scuttling and delightful armadillo. a treat for sloth lovers everywhere.

What a great day we all had celebrating my grandsons 2nd birthday. So much thought has gone into this park and dinosaur world was amazing.

I have a 2 year old son who is bisotted with dinosaurs. The dinosaur park is fantastic and any child who loves dinosaurs needs to come here. The dinosaurs are animatronic and loud! I wish it was closer to where I lived because I would be having my son's birthday part here!

There are animals here to and they are all close enough to see them no matter what time of day you go there.. the only thing I think about them is the enclosures are too small, especially for the big cats. The lion literally paces up and down. This makes me sad.

The whole park is do-able in one day and the food etc. there is realtively well priced.

The one thing that is a bit of a rip off is the train that goes around the dinsousar park. £2 per person and it literally goes in a circle

We had an absolutely fab day out. A full day at that! Had gone for a family day out and also as I had arranged the Rainforest experience for my wife. The whole day was flawless. Staff are brilliant and friendly and knowledgeable. Animals and all the enclosures looked well kept. Seeing the snow leopards and white lions was amazing. The bird flight display was also a high point. The cafe was good with a nice selection and decent offer for the very competitive prices. Didn't get around it all but we will be back soon as enoyjed it so much!

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely well kept clean, wildlife park. Drops a star because half the food outlets were closed at 3 pm. Otherwise great, wheelchair friendly too. I especially enjoyed the small animal petting centre and the white tigers were amazing. In fact, it was all nice and really interesting.

100% a must see!
This was an organised day out for a friend of the family. We were not disappointed! Paradise Wildlife Park was amazing. The staff were super friendly, the park itself was exceptionally clean and tidy and extremely well spaced out. The staff's knowledge of the animals was unbelievable (Thanks Aaron) and you could almost feel the passion they had. Our young friend had the privilege of feeding the penguins and we couldn't praise everyone enough of how she was treated.Thank you all so much for a truly fantastic day out - we'll definitely be back!!

Was my second time going here but this time went with my partner and our 18 month old.
You can drive here as loads of parking but we went by train.
At the train station there is a number for a bus to come pick you up which we done but no bus came and after half an hour we got a cab there which cost us about £7.
Line was not long so quick to pay and our son went free.
Loads to do. First section has the main eating area and a few places to grab drinks and food. Big play area with slides, swings, climbing equipment and a big pirate ship play house. Soft play and cafe. The new dinosaur land is there and great to see. They have a train which you pay £2 to go round and see more of the dinosaur land.
They have the reindeer and Wolfe’s.
If you cross over they have some small playable rides and slides and the gift shop.
All the main animals such as tigers, lions, camels and other animals. You can buy animal food and feed certain animals such as pigs, rabbits and goats.
More places to stop and eat and drink.
Easy access for prams and wheelchairs.
We had a great time and our son loved running around seeing and feeding the animals. Not so great if it’s raining as you can’t really see much but perfect if it’s a sunny hot day or even just a little cold.

Me & my partner visited as a birthday gift. We will never forget the most amazing experience we had here feeding the lions. The young lady was very helpful & answered all of our questions & demonstrated how to feed them. We took turns in placing the meat in our hands and placing by the cage where you feel the lion breathing on you and taking the meat from your hand. Scary at first but absolutely amazing to be the close to an incredible animal.

The only small dislike we had was other visitors coming near where we did the experience having kids screaming and people shouting when we are trying to enjoy our experience with the lions.

Overall defiantly worth the experience! Thank you :)

We had an incredible day at Paradise Wildlife. The Dinosaur Park is the best ever. The zoo area is clean, the cages are spacious, many playgrounds. The whole experience is a big thumbs up apart of the restaurant. Unprofessional services, food not delicious.

The park is just superb!! It is compact yet with enough space for the animals...we’ve never seen animals so clean & so happy & we’ve been to parks & zoos all over the world. The big cat family were amazing, hats off to all the keepers. The park was spotlessly clean, the kids rides & entertainment was fantastic...couldn’t have been a better day, thank you to all the staff at PWP, amazing & keep up your excellent work

Wanted somewhere to spend the afternoon on route to Heathrow and this park came up on the rada, how glad we were it did. We all loved it, staff were lovely, it was very clean (except the soft play which looked a little under staffed) and the overall feel if the place was great. The Dinosaurs blew my away, I knew there was some there, but there were more and they were far more impressive than expected. The is plenty of play areas for the kids to enjoy in this part of the park also. On the other side of the park is a great selection of animals, big cars, meerkats, lemurs etc. There are plenty of shows, displays and talks to keep everyone entertained for a good few hours, I think we stayed about six. All in all a very nice afternoon and not stupidly priced. Will be going again when on another road trip.
