Paradise Wildlife Park
Latest Reviews
We attended the Arsenal Fun Day @ Paradise Park on 24 Aug. The weather was perfect and we had a brilliant day at the park.
Lots of animals to see. The park was very busy due to the fun day and we had won a family ticket to attend, so I am unable to comment on the value for money!
There are lots of charging extras in the way of machines for children, so I can see how you would need spending money on top of entry fee.
Food in the restaurant was reasonably priced with well sized portions.
The splash pool was full and due to the weather we did not use the indoor play area.
I would recommend this zoo as a family summer day trip.

This was a nice place definitely aimed more for little children. And obviously we went of season so there wasn't there best atmosphere but was still a good day. Will probably return in their summer with young family.

It was our first time visiting there.
It's a great zoo with plenty of activities for children.
You can also feed the animals (although it's a bit pricy) but it's also great watching others feed them.
The staff were really friendly and caring.
Moreover, they offer a pick up service for those not traveling with car which is very convenient and cheap.
The drivers are very welcoming too.
The only downside in our view was that the food are very expensive there and some of the animals did not exist in their enclosures and there was no sign mentioning that.
Other then that, we really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

As a birthday present for my partner, we had the breakfast with the big cats. We got there at 8.30 for a guided tour of the big cats including white lions, white tigers, snow leopards, jaguars and tigers. The talk was fascinating and the guide - Aaron - really new his stuff. This was followed by a delicious continental breakfast. We then wandered round the park at our own pace. We were impressed by how close you felt to the animals, the beauty of the majestic beasts and the high quality of the enclosures. It was a truly unforgettable experience

I always enjoy visiting this animal park as there are lots of animals to see without being spread over a large area, but I particularly enjoyed this visit. It's the first time I have been since they expanded the woodland area and really like the new reindeer enclosure. The red pandas are always a highlight too.

I visited Paradise Wildlife Park as my birthday experience, I am 71. My daughter and grandson came too.<br>The first thing I noticed was how everywhere was so clean and free of litter and the animal enclosures were also so clean and their water troughs spotless.<br>The animals looked so healthy. All the staff we came across were so polite and happy. What more can I say. It pleased me to see such a high standard.<br>May I also add what a wonderful experience for families with so many exciting things for children to see and do including a paddling pool. One could spend all day there. Thank you for a lovely experience.

We had just returned from a stay at the big cat sanctuary which was fantastic and found our about Paridise wildlife park. As we had done feed the lions and tigers at big cat we did feed the wolves. It was lovely and the guide was lovely. Although I think they should have given plastic gloves like big cat sanctuary as the smell of sardines lingered all the way home even after several washes!!
Rest of park was nice did some of the talks very good.
We stayed in one of the arpartments overnight. It was not the one pictured on website, small and hot with noisy fan in bedroom, although it was modern and clean. Would have liked the larger one. Still enjoyed the experience.

I bought my dad a "shadow a zookeeper " experience for christmas which he just recently booked and used.
He absolutely loved his day at the park, seeing all the different sections and getting to feed and handle various animals.
Hospitality from everyone was first class and the whole day went smoothly and enjoyably despite some bad weather!
Highlight of the day for him was his time with the reptile keeper Reece who not only was extremely polite and welcoming but massively knowledgeable on all the different reptiles at the park as well as just clearly having a passion for what he's doing, an asset to the zoo!
Thank you all at Paradise for giving my dad a day to remember! We all can't wait to visit again and see all the updated enclosures.

This was a great wildlife park with a good array of big cats, the highlight was seeing the lions being fed. There are also a number of online vouchers offering good discounts on the entrance fee. It was nice to see the wolf who was very tame and in a good size enclosure. There was some construction work going on we were unable to see the penguins but hopefully all this work will make the animals more comfortable which is the main importance. Good day out for all.

As a frequenter of Chester Zoo I am probably somewhat spoilt when it comes to both animal enclosures and customer facilities and unfortunately we were not very impressed with PWP on either count. Many of the enclosures were certainly not spacious and several animals were pacing back and forth along the fence lines. This was particularly upsetting with endangered species such as the snow leopard where it would have been nice to see more stimulating environments. Equally the visitor amenities were a bit tired looking, the play areas were quite dirty and large parts of the park looked like they could do with some tlc. Such a shame as the tickets weren't cheap (practically full price for a 2 year old seems extortionate, most places offer free or heavily discounted admission for toddlers!) and didn't include parking which was an additional £3.

Paradise Wildlife Park, is a little GEM, in the heart of Hertfordshire. Had a great Sunday
there in late September. Very clean, and well appointed compared to London Zoo! Much cheaper to get in for families and staff all so friendly and helpful.
Enjoyed seeing the tigers especially after our Tea in Treetops. Two came down when most people had gone, about 4.30pm, and were playing beautifully with a giant ball.The 3 Grandchildren were so pleased to witness that.
Toilets were clean and animals looked well cared for. Go when weather isn't too hot and then you will see animals at their best.
The Xmas present we had was a lovely treat from Son ; and daughter and kids had a slightly different package. Tea was plentiful and yummy, whilst sitting up high watching through glass windows the Tigers at play. Well done to all the people working there, and that are so proud of being a part of Paradise.
Thank you lions , tigers sheep, meercats , gibbons , zebras, turtles , limas and all for entertaining us. Plus the playground areas amused kids for an hour.

You should be warned that everything inside the park costs - even the parking is £3. All the kids rides, the train, the golf etc. the list goes on all are at an extra cost. It is expensive to get in and then you spend a whole lot more inside and at this time of year some things are closed. There are no penguins, no reptile house, not sand shop an some kids rides were no open. It should be cheaper out of season.
I enjoyed the animals - although there are not that many. If you want animals go to the zoo not here. I think this park is overrated and expensive and the food in the cafes, of which only 2 were open - is limited and expensive.

I bought the animal photography day for my partner as a present and it was absolutely wonderful! He took some amazing shots and got to get up close with a lot of animals. Totally worth the price!

Had the priviledge of visiting this park in August. Car park £3 which in itself isn't a bad price but add that on to the entrance ticket n then refreshments once inside it can be a expensive day out for a family with kids. Lovely to see most of the anilmals out n about apart from the penguins who was having their home refurbed. Plenty of stuff to keep the kids occupied n fab to see that in the kids playground they even has a swing facilty for kids in wheelchairs( fab idea)

Interesting zoo with a good collection of big cats. Quite small, you can see it all in a few hours. What I found annoying was the £3 car parking charge and no mention of it when the tickets were booked online. It's not the cost it's not knowing about it until you are in the car park then you have to pay it to get out. No doubt it is mentioned somewhere on their website, but I didn't see it. It would be better if they increased the admission charges slightly and made parking free then the total cost would be transparent rather than having hidden extra costs.
