We did the hand feed experience before the park opened which was amazing as just two of us and the keeper a wonderful young lady Hannah i think
We had a lovely tour and fed the snow leopard and had champagne breakfast

The breakfast was ok, just average cold items, but amazing views of tigers from cafe

Once the park opened its very busy and noisy which as a couples experience made it less enjoyable but the rest of the park is very nice despite this.

Having always loved Paradise Wildlife Park I thought why not get married there and it was the best decision. The location is beautiful and the pictures look amazing with that backdrop. James, our wedding planner, was fantastic from start to finish. We can’t thank him enough! He took all the stress out of planning a wedding. The best thing was, he genuinely cared about us having the best day! And we did.
All the staff were fantastic. I can’t get over how lovely they all were! It was the little things I was blown away by - standing next to me with water so I could have the odd sip whilst saying hello to 100 people.
The food was good and there was so so so much!!!
The room was decorated to perfection. The whole day was perfect. Thank you James and Paradise Wildlife Park.

Celebrating my grandsons 2nd birthday,we went with my 4 year old granddaughter,daughter and her partner,and my eldest daughter.The weather was ok but a bit chilly for the kids for the splash pool.
We had a great day,the kids loved seeing the animals,they also had a great time in the play areas,and they really enjoyed the new dinosaur world with all the animals moving and roaring.All the staff were cheerful which is important with loads of kids running around.
Plenty of places to eat,and also to sit if you,ve brought your own food.We were there about 5 hours which flew by as the kids were enjoying themselves.

Booked this trip a couple of days in advance online. Reasonably priced & Dad’s also got free entrance on Father’s Day. Easy to find via the SatNav, only 40minutes journey for us.
We were so surprised how fantastic this place was. Enormous amounts to do for all ages there. Food & drinks are not too badly priced & are reasonably good quality.
Lots of animals that look like they are being well looked after.
The latest addition of The Lost Dinosaur world is amazing & such a hit with the kids.
You are also able to have a train ride round to see the dinosaurs.
All in all a lovely day out had by all & a well enjoyed Father’s Day.
Definitely will return in the near future!!

We have a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old and I have to say that this place was perfect in every way. I may have enjoyed it a lot too! From the Dinosaur section (my 4 yr old is an unqualified palaeontologist), to the big cats this place has it all! The play things kept the kids going once they had seen everything else and the places to stop and have lunch were great. If you’re kids, or you, love dinosaurs and / or big cats, get yourself down here!

Lovely place with friendly staff. My son and I also had 30 Mins with the Meerkats which was amazing. A very knowledgable staff member who looked after us. Thank you

I’ve been visiting the wildlife park for over twenty years and yesterday was the best visit ever. I took my 3 year old grandson who absolutely loved the World of Dinosaurs, a brilliant new attraction. The whole park is always beautifully maintained and well staffed with lots to do for all ages. We will return again and again.

I like this place, and been several times with my little girl, but now they have THE BEST dinosaur display I have ever seen.
Worth the money, worth the trip on its own.
Do yourself and your dinosaur fans a favour, just go!

We had a great time. The experience was very well organised. A warm greeting with refreshments. We received our goodie bag and then got picked up by our keeper Kim who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to feed the meerkats and play with them while Kim told us interesting things about how to care for them and about their needs. After the experience we had access to the park which is lovely and has many attractions. A great day out.

My young son very much enjoyed himself when we visited this venue. We started with the dinosaurs which were his favourites. These are pretty impressive both in scale and look.
The zoo section was interesting but some of the animals were taking it easy in their shelters so not much to see. But still tigers and zebras were fascinating for our boy.
The playground facilities such as slides and climbing areas are clean and appear very safe.
This would be a 5 star review but for the very long queue at the cafe which did put us off.
Quite expensive but you can probably use up a day here. Recommend.

A family visit today with our two young grandchildren. Plenty of free parking. The grandchildren loved the Dinosaurs. Surprised that you have to pay to ride on the miniature railway, for the admission price this should be free. The animals looked cared for and most of the enclosures were clean and tidy. I thought most of the animal enclosures were very small. In this day and age do we need to keep animals in captivity? We had lunch here, which we thought was good value for money

We have visited this park many times before and always had a really lovely day. The park is so clean and there are beautiful flower displays, it almost looks like a garden centre. we have been coming since my daughters were small when they loved to splash in the paddling pool area, and play in the playground. Now that they are 17 and 21 we still love coming to see the animals and I was lucky enough to feed Aleena, a magnificent Amur tiger. Wow, what an amazing experience, my guide, Hannah was lovely and full of information about all the cats and was very reassuring when feeding the massive Aleena up close. It was a wonderful day, Thank you

I went to the park via a Cooks coach. There is much to see and do, there are many different animals including big cats. There is a dinosaur exhibition, most of whom are animated and make noises, there is also a miniature railway allowing viewing of the dinosaurs. There are numerous places to eat and drink within the park. This is well worth a visit, highly recommended.

Our 3rd trip here for our younger sons birthday. Came here of his 2nd, 3rd and now 4th birthday. Can see the investment in the park and it is improving.

Visited Friday. New dinosaur section is great. Very well put together. Lots to see round the park and animals are close and kids loved walking around. Train ride £2 each but worth it

Two staff members stood out as excellent. The balloon guy is so naturally pleasant and good at what he does. Second was the zoo keeper we met at the furry friends pm showing. We met Lennox the ferret. The zoo keeper, apologies for not having her name, was excellent. So cheerful, knowledgable and pleasant. My son asked her 3 questions and she could not have been more patient or happy to answer. Well done her! Hope my thanks can be passed on

Hope to return next year for his 5th birthday. And see the new changes another year on. Well worth a visit

Went to Paradise Wildlife Park for a second time, and again was thoroughly impressed with it. We've been to a number of such parks over the past few years, and why anyone would pay the excessive levels at a heel hole such as Legoland when somewhere like Paradise Wildlife Park is cheaper, better run and so much more enjoyable is beyond me (seriously, never go to Legoland).

The new dinosaur feature is outstanding. Our five-year old and 15-month old both loved it. Beyond that, the staff are uniformly friendly and approachable, and able to answer any question about the animals. The playground is imaginative, the water splash area is great, and the soft pay area is a particularly good one. It really is hard to fault as a place. If you live within reach, give it a go. It perhaps lacks the size of Whipsnade or the variety of London Zoo, but it's much cheaper and the animals seem so much more accessible.

Visited this attraction today with our great granddaughter.Very impressed with everything.a great place for a day out .plenty of eating places .and facilities.The one thing that made me very happy was they hire young people less fortunate than ourselves .I spoke to a young lad named Chis and asked him if he liked his job and his reply was yes he did .

Spent the day at the park with my two grandchildren aged 6 and 4. What an excellent day we all enjoyed ourselves. The animatronic dinosaurs were great all the live animals were worth seeing the park as a whole was very friendly and clean and not overpriced. Plenty of places to eat and very friendly staff. We will return.

Good zoo to see the Big Cats. More suited for families & children, but still a nice day out for us oldies. Layout was a bit confusing, & we had to retrace our steps many times to see all the animals.

This is a favourite place of my son and I. It is a fantastic set up and easy to walk around. The new world of dinosaurs is an excellent addition to an already fabulous place. Have been twice, once to have afternoon tea with tigers and the other time with friends- both cracking visits. Highly recommended

We visited the park as my husband had a experience with the Lemurs,
The Park its self is not very big and maybe more suitable for younger children although the dinosaurs world is fantastic.
The feeding Lemurs experience was fantastic and I was gutted I didn’t do it also, so anybody that does like Lemurs I would highly recommend this experience.

We had a fantastic day our with the kids. Reasonably priced and lots of things to do. Great play area and the kids loved the splash pool. I strongly recommend this for a day out on a nice warm day.

Decided to have a day out rather than veg at home for the Bank Holiday and wasn't disappointed. We have visited a couple of times before and were not disappointed this time. The new Dinosaur part is very good, both educational and fun.
The park was run very well, good easy parking, with a pre-booked ticket, there was a girl at the gate getting you straight in so you avoided queuing.
Everywhere was clean and tidy and as usual the animals all looked very well cared for.
Would always recommend this park to families, a good mixture of Zoo and play.

Decided wanted some thing different today and heard people in work raving about this place and how much their children loved it. Prices are reasonable at sub £20 each. Loads of different animals and some great shows with the animals including feeding times, talks and other bits to do. There is so much to see and do so make sure you get there early.. There is also a massive dinosaur section with life size models etc that move. All in all a great day out.
