Had a fantastic day would definatly come back!!!!

Lots to do, easily spend the whole day with the kids. Good fun!

Some good viewing platforms to see the animals. Lovely cafe where you can watch the tigers from and get some good photos.

Absolutely fantastic setup and great set of Dinosaurs. Very well managed place and good team work 👌. Good for a fun day out. Highly recommended

Great place going again soon

We visited Wednesday with my 3 year old granddaughter. Despite the drizzle, we had a great day. Lots to do, dinosaurs were impressive and my granddaughter loved them. Animals looked happy and children were able to get close enough to look properly. The adults also enjoyed the day. In my opinion, the one downside was lack of food choices, on a sunny day it would have been ok. Also, my granddaughter didn’t like the soft play area as it was quite noisy - inevitable with families avoiding the rain showers.
We will definitely visit again.

Got a new attraction based all about dinosaurs only opened it to the public last weekend. Lots to see and good for the little ones.

Dinosaur world was amazing!

A good day out new dinasours section hadn't opened but I will go back later to see it

Great family day out, plenty to see and do. Son especially like the dinosaur park and dinosaur shop. Gift shop though was some what disappointing, alot of overpriced bits and bobs. Plenty of food places, but also plenty of picnic areas if you take your own food. Lots of different animals to see, clean and tidy, animals well kept and looked after. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to friends and family.

Had a lovely day at the park with work.

Even though Paradise Wildlife Park is about half the size of Whipsnade or Chester zoos, there is a lot to see and do. And lots of entertainment for young children, including performers, slides and play areas. The design of the enclosures enables you to get up close to the big cats and other animals. And the shuttle bus from Broxbourne station (£3 return) means the zoo is really easy to visit by public transport. Entry costs £21 for adults but there are family deals and annual membership packages available.

Big cats seem cramped, but up close is a possibility you don't get elsewhere.

Fantastic day out friendly staff great animals plenty for children to do well worth a visit

We visited early on Good Friday to beat the typical bank holiday weather and were very surprised at the whole park. We were a group of four adults with a 4 month old and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the park. The new dinosaur park is first rate and really makes you glad that they don’t roam the earth anymore! Full size animatronic models that roar, blink, breathe and move heads and tails were very impressive.

As for the rest of the park, I have never been so close to big cats at any zoo.

We will definitely be returning as our grandson grows to enjoy the animals and the extensive play areas.

We have been to Paradise Wildlife Park many times and always enjoyed visits, prices have gone up but still in keeping with other similar places. We were with daughter her partner and grandson and all loved the Dinosaurs, plenty of things for grandson to play and climb on generally a good day. The one thing that we did not like very much was the huge number of young children on scooters, in some of the narrow pathways we had to get out of the way pretty quick . The scooters became such a danger at Marwell that they banned them,

Great day out, lots of things to do

absolute brilliant

Excellent wildlife park. A great range of animals who were quite active despite the rain. The dinosaur park was great as well!

Excellent big cat programme

Excellent park

We visited the Park on Easter Sunday, as it was the only decent day weather wise for a bank holiday weekend and they had recently opened the Dinosaur area, so we were intrigued.
We arrived just after opening (9.30) and there was plenty of parking and no queues to get in, which is always a good start, although there's plenty of parking so I doubt this is an issue. The prices aren't much different to the likes of Whipsnade or Woburn and it is a lot smaller, but has a surprisingly good selection of animals and things to do and has the added bonus of not having to walk to the moon and back with two kids (5 & 18 months) and the various paraphanalia that comes with them, to see something they were excited about but now just need the toilet which is back where you have just come from, so I think the size of the Park is perfect.

First up you'll hit the Dinosaur area. Now I'll be honest I was expecting some tacky fibreglass models with an annoying loop tape of ripped off Jurassic Park theme tunes playing everywhere, but I was pleasantly surprised; the models were fantastic!! They are all anamatronic models with moving limbs, heads, mouths, replicated breathing, even eyelids and eyes were moving and they had some fairly decent sound effects for each with a info plaque near each model. The kids loved them and so did we, so much so we ended up going round again later on in the day.

As for the rest of the Park, it's brilliant for such a small site. The enclosures for the animals are not huge, but substantial and best of all you can get pretty close to most of them (safely) and get some really decent pictures which is normally lacking in the bigger Zoo's. There is also a good selection of animals to see which again surprised me.
I am absolutely no expert on how to care for a wild animal like some people claim to be on here, but from what we saw the animals seemed well looked after and were obviously fed and whilst the enclosures were not huge they are obviously big enough or the Zoo wouldn't exist. As for 'enrichment' that everyone seems to be banging on about, you don't see a lion on a David Attenborough show playing with a multicoloured plastic ball in the middle of the Savannah, so why should they play with one in an enclosure.... sort your lives out.

A couple of the sections were closed on the day (nocturnal and part of Big Cat being developed) but these were due to expansion or improvement and were noted on the website and made no difference to the enjoyment of our day in fact it was good to see the Park is developing.

Best part about this park is that, even though there were a lot of people there, you weren't fighting to see the animals and having to elbow people out of the way so the kids could get a glimpse of something; one of the things I despise in the other places.

Food.... As is always the case with any attraction like this, the food is normally extortionate and terrible.... in this case the pricing wasn't horrendous although still a bit on the pricy side, but it was actually pretty good. The kids and the Mrs had burger, chips and beans, which were very nice , for around £7 which included a drink and I had a jacket potato with salad,m pulled pork, bacon and cheese which was £7.90 again, including a drink.... and this was really well cooked and not like eating a cricket ball like I expected. My advice would be , if you are going to the main eating hall near the entrance, get there around 11.30 or earlief if you want to eat inside or just eat outside if it's nice, as it gets rammed really quickly and nobody wants screaming hungry kids who can't sit down anywhere, whilst listening to a cacophany of other people's screaming kids in a packed food hall that's getting warmer by the second......... alternatively bring a packed lunch, it'll save you some money and there's plenty of benches about, but the food there is good.

There is also a shed load of things to do for the kids if/When they get bored, in the big play area just Inside the entrance, there's also a mini golf area, fire engines to sit in, slides, swings etc, etc plenty to keep them entertained anyway.

The only small gripe I had was some of the staff could be a little bit more enthusiastic and show a bit more urgency when doing things and have a bit more of a rapport with the paying punters. A lot of the time waiting in food/drinks queues was either due to lack of staff or lack of competent staff, but this is a very small blot on an otherwise brilliant day.

Would definitely recommend this to anyone with a young family who wants the Zoo experience, but not the marathon that goes with it and has something a little different to the rest.

Perfect place to bring kids, the stench of camel's can get intense but other than that definitely would go again

Great place for the family

Actually should go if you have some more time to go around near by
