Amazing though the gift shop is a little expensive

My other half and I went here spontaneously - it was a really good fun day. Entry was reasonably priced, good inside was of course expectably overpriced but overall a good few hours and the bird show is a must see!

I was treated to the big cat breakfast experience by a friend and can truly say I had a fantastic day out. We arrived at the park before opening time, however where we had to meet was not directly clear however was easy resolved by following other visitors. We began our day in the discovery center where we met the other people in our group and was greeted with a hot/cold drink. We was next introduced to our guide who was fantastic and knew the big cats and history of the park very well. After walking around to each enclosure and hearing about the cats we finished our tour at the treetop cafe to have our breakfast. The breakfast was a self service continental breakfast and was okay with enough to eat for all in the party but think could have been better if some hot food had been offered such as in a full English breakfast. After the tour the park becomes open to the general public and we was allowed to stay for as long as we wanted and see other animals in the park. We stayed all day and enjoyed the exhibits very much and felt that we were able to get close to an array of different animals. The highlight of the tour for us was the white lion pride and white tiger but also found ourselves spending a lot of time watching the small monkeys and the gibbons. We loved the birds but was not overly impressed with the cages as they look small. The bird display show was enjoyable and we got to see a selection of the parks birds in flight. We went as an adult only group but the park looked well equipped for family's with many play zones and a water area. A truly memorable day...

I was bought the Tiger feeding experience as a present and in truth, my expectations were pretty low; imagining I'd be throwing something off the back of a truck as we drove by... but oh no! We were allowed to hand-feed a Tiger, a Lion and a Cheetah! OK, it was through the metal fencing but to be so close to such amazing wild animals was awesome. Our guide, Sally, was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. They also have special photography tours, and you can stay overnight and experience the more nocturnal cats too. This place MUST be on your list if you like big cats. Would definitely recommend!

My Sister and I did the 'Shadow a Big Cat Keeper' experience.
This was absolutely fantastic, and Cassie that was our keeper for the day was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the big cats.
The best part of the day was hand feeding the big cats – truly amazing

Had a wonderful afternoon at PWP this Sunday. I've given it 5/5 as I enjoyed myself so much, however 4/5 Stars is a fairer reflection, mainly because the food selection and quality isn't great and, at £14 for a child ticket, it would've been a little pricey without our voucher.
The Park is really well laid out and there is so so much to do, we only did the zoo animal parts and still idled away 3.5 hours comfortably. The zoo enclosures are generally of a good size (so you don't feel bad for the animals) and nicely varied. What really stood out was the variety of viewing platforms and raised 'walks' from which the see the animals from all manner of angles - makes it more fun for kids and miles better for spotting occasionally reluctant animals.
There are a huge number of activities for kids (playgrounds, mini-buggy racing, sand pits, petting zoo, wildlife walk) which we didn't get to do but you could easily kill 5-8 hours in the pace - if you've the energy!
Will definitely be coming back next time my god daughter comes to visit.
Added note: ample parking and, whilst busy, the Park never felt crowded and we never had to contest for viewing space.

My partner and I love zoos so went just as a couple to this one and really enjoyed it. We mainly enjoyed it because they have white lions, a snow leopard and a white tiger which are all rarely seen in zoos in this country. There are so many attractions for kids and an adventure golf course which is always a laugh. The bird show was brilliant and the staff all stemmed very nice. A lovely visit but next time we'll be visiting with our young nephews, not as a couple as we felt out of place!

I have been making seasonal visits with my family for the last 4/5 years. We have always enjoyed a day at Paradise, but in my latest visit (6th June) I was disappointed with the standard the outdoor shows, the outdoor stage only has scheduled shows every hour! Which is ok if the shows were longer than 3 minutes! But waiting 20 mins for a 3 minute show is very disappointing! This wasn't the case when I visited last year, in fact I was rather impressed with the level of entertainment then. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. The indoor shows was great!

Excellent small wide life park. You can really see the animals up close which children really love. The food here is not good at all so bring a picnic.

I have an annual pass, as a childminder I often take the children in my care here for the day. Once inside you have lots to do, soft play see the animals or play on the adventure playground, if its sunny a dip in the paddling pool is also fun. It is kept very clean and always lots of staff around the park. A great day out.

We know Giles Clark (who is now at Australia zoo, looking after their Tigers). A great little place with lots to see and do.

Had a really good day here, it's so geared up for the kiddies. So much for them to do other than just see the animals, it has a park area, slides, bouncy castle and tractor ride.
I think it's very reasonable priced for all what's included. The foods quite expensive but that's to be expected in places like this.
However there are picnic benches so you can sit down and eat the food you have taken with you.
Animals look well looked after and there's plenty to see.
Overall very nice family day out, would go back happily.

Myself and my children have been going here for 13 years + and it's has really improved over time the price has doubled over the past few years and it does seem that making money is much more important now eg the price of an icecream is £2.60! And for a bag for animal food with about 1 carrot chopped up is a £1 however the restaurant is a good quality of food and not too bad prices £6.95 burger and chips .Animals - they don't have very big cages eg 4 adult lions in one small enclosureand the sheep were in desparate need of sheering ,the rest is the same as it has been for 10+years the main chance is the prison type fence sytem which isnt nice.for smaller kids there is the free bouncy castle ect and the park and the pool but it get super packed on a nice day. To make the day better value get vouchers on internet and take a picnic with snack otherwise it can work out to be a pretty expensive day.

I drink around 5 cups of tea a day so I have a lot of tea drinking experiences to take from but today, sitting in the Tiger Treetops Cafe with three tigers wandering around below me was an awesome experience. The visit to the park was worth it for that alone,

A nice zoo but very few animals. Small zoo compared to many others and price doesn't really reflect this.
Experiences seemed good but all booked up. They do individual animal choice which is good.
Food prices were high as you at a zoo.
However zoo keepers were all friendly and happy to talk about their animals. Very clean. Good size enclosures. Animals seemed very happy. A red panda even waved hello!

Visited the park today to do meet the meerkats it was amazing!!!! Despite the rainy weather me and my partner had a superb day! And will definitely be returning! The meerkat experience was so hands on the meerkats climb all over you, and the keeper who did it with us was very informative! Well worth a visit!

We went here to celebrate my nieces 3rd birthday and we had a fantastic time. From seeing all the animals to playing on the slides bouncy castle, water lagoon, indoor and outdoor play area. The day was action packed and fun filled and according to my 5 year old it was "the best day ever " x

Visited Paradise Wildlife Park during the May half term and I was expecting it to be packed but there is so much space and things to see and do that you don't notice how busy it is. The kids absolutely loved it. There are a number of animals to see such as Lemars, Alligators, Lions, Reindeer, Penguins and loads more. Fantastic play areas for the children and short tractor ride the facilities are well laid out and clearly signposted. You could spend all day so much to squeeze in.

I must say that's is a noisy place. There's certainly a lot of playgrounds around this park which is great for the children and as an adult, one does get a lot of alone time with cuppa whilst keeping an eye on the children.<br>Regarding the animals...Well I seems like they only get peace and quiet after the closing time but they don't seem bothered by it. It's not a zoo of great space or resources but it's nice one. With lovely amount of big cats and other interesting animals.<br>I only gave 3starts as the line to get tickets was absurd. We waited 20minutes. Pretty crazy even in half term. And no, we haven't pre paid for our tickets, as it wouldn't make much of a difference as the line for that was as long as ours. Overall....Kids will have great time. And it's nice outing.

We visited with our toddler and had a fantastic day. The park is a great size, plenty to see but not too big. The tree top trail around the big cats is fab and gives lots of opportunity to see them. Our little one loved feeding the animals in the farm. Everything is really accessable so whether you have a pushchair or a wheelchair you'll be able to get around easily and see everything. The adventure parks were great plenty to do and well maintained. All the staff we encountered were really friendly and helpful. Perfect family day out.

Although I am 22, my girlfriend, my parents and I had a great day at Paradise! There are so many animals to see, and you can also feed some of them, such as the emus and reindeer (my favourite). There was also a chance to go into the Lorikeet enclosure and feed them, which involved them sitting all over you, which was an amazing experience.
There is also loads to do for people that have kids, as there are parks and play areas dotted around, so they won't be bored.
Would definitely come back.

We visited Paradise Wildlife Park on band holiday Monday and I was expecting it to be completely packed with children but was presently surprise. Although, it was busy but not too busy.
I would defiantly say this is just an afternoon outing rather than an whole day thing. We managed to get around the park within about 4 hours. Because of this I do feel the price is a bit steep for the size of the park.
We were very happy to see lots of the animals easily and playing and running around. The Tigers were very visible which was excellent!
The food was a slight let down, very expensive and quite a wait for some food. ( jacket potatoes) would defiantly recommend taking a picnic as there's plenty of seating areas to sit.
The park is very good for disabled and small children as its all on the same level and no steep hills.
Overall, a good afternoon out and would recommend to others.
