We visited Paradise Wildlife Park after visiting their sister park in Kent. This is not a zoo, but a wildlife park with excellent opportunity to view the animals and in particular the big cats. The areas around the big cat enclosures are high level walkways allowing you to look down into the enclosure, something rarely available at other wildlife parks or zoos.
As well as big cats, there are a range of other rarer animals to see. Lovely wooded area to walk through too. Seemed to be a number of 'cheap' children's attractions which detract from the park, but walk past these and you will be rewarded with seeing some fantastic big cats. Well worth a visit!

Well after seeing on groupon the deal for £200 we decided to take the plunge and pay pwp a visit. Well we couldn't have been more surprised it's clean tidy yes fairly small but that doesn't take anything from the place, the animals look happy healthy and well looked after. We stayed in the zebra suite and it was amazing clean (good job to the cleaner) couldn't ask for a better place to sleep. For us the best bit was being able to walk round some of the park (park side) when the place had closed it was beautiful quiet and enchanting to have the honour of seeing animals in the evening. Thank you PWP we loved it!

Had fun everywhere kids loved the climbing indoors the park fun the animals the talks the feeding just about everything great day out you can spend all day there take a picnic or eat in we where two adults and two kids aged 7 and 10

Just very good, for the children and for us adults.
I like the idea that the majority of the money that I spend does not go into a greedy business, Paradise Wildlife Park puts its daily earning back into the attraction.
There are bigs cats, wolves, fox's and alot of other fluffy animals to keep you amused for a number of hours.
Also there are lots of play places......kids do have short attention spans and at least you will have a chance to let them go mad in safety!
One other thing is the outdoor splash pool, take the kids swimming stuff it it is going to be sunny.

We had an amazing day here. It is not a massive place, this is an advantage because my small children could walk the whole area - there are so many brilliant animals to see - the lions, tigers and the other big cats were great. My youngest daughter is a huge Frozen fan so she was so excited to see the reindeer. The children loved walking up high over the cats, there was so much to see. The play area is unbelievably fantastic - we didn't even get to use it all! We needed another afternoon to play on all the activities. The sand pit, pirate ship, train ride, lots of places to picnic and plenty of places to buy hot and cold food and snacks. We had a fantastic time here, we will definitely be going back.

Went here yesterday by coach in very heavy rain but that didn't spoil our day, staff were waiting for us with umbrellas to lead us to a sheltered area and tell us where we could get hot drinks and where we would find the covered play areas for children
The zoo is well run the animals look well cared for and the staff were helpful
Plenty to do here, smaller and friendlier then than larger well known zoos
Will defiantly go back on a warmer day

I had never heard of this zoo so wasn't expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and the pretty amazing views throughout the zoo.
There's so much for kids to do here and a few things for us big kids.
You can normally get a deal for here from Groupon to save you a few £'s so check that out before booking!

I booked a Snooze at the Zoo experience and we couldn't have asked for more. From the minute we arrived at the discovery centre we were treated like VIPs. The staff were all so friendly and accomodating. The room was beyond our expectations (we had the Zebra room), beds were comfy, 4 tvs! a selection of DVDs, tea, coffee. They even had a selection of restaurants and directions. I'd do it again without question. The zoo is small but has lots to offer, from farm animals to white lions. Our favourites were the red pandas. The staff knew what they were talking about and had lots of talks going on. Overall enjoyed by all from age 7-41 (and a teenager to).

Took our now 2 year old son 11 year old daughter and 15 year old son!! We all had a great day. It was nice to actually get into somewhere for a reasonable price as well.

It was so hot when we went yesterday as well but drinks and food wasn't to badly priced either. We eat in SAMs cafe and the food was lovely. All the staff was very helpful.

The animals were great we saw some animals that we have never seen at any other zoo before like snow leopards white tigers and white lions. It was easy to walk around with lots of play areas, rides and attractions for all ages even on hot days don't forget your swimsuit!

Will be going back and I will book an experience for my daughters birthday

Entry is quite reasonable as the zoo is quite small amd you can get around the whole place in 3 hours unless you attend the talks etc. The food is ok but they could improve on the coffee which is basically made like your in a work canteen with uht milk. A nice range of animals and play area for the kids. Worth a visit but I wouldnt travel far for this place.

We took my granddaughter today to the Paradise Wildlife Park. She's 2 years old and absolutely loved every moment of it.
We were amazed at so many animals and how clean the whole place was. We've never been before, and can't think of why we haven't!
Was 90 degrees today so we got there for when it opened at 9 30. When we left after lunch the queue was long so glad we got there for when it opened.
Will Definately be going back. A really lovely place to visit

First visit to Paradise Wildlife Park and was very impressed. We arrived roughly 45 mins after opening and there was only a relatively short queue, even in the middle of the summer holidays.
We paid with Tesco Clubcard vouchers, meaning the visit was minimal cost.
I would say that the Park is a wonderful place for children up to about aged 7 or 8. For children up to this age, there is such a lot for them to do; climbing equipment, slides, games and playgrounds and even a pool with fountain to play in!
I was also impressed by the range of exciting animals and how easy they were to see.
There were plenty of places to eat your own food - as with any such places, the kiosks and cafes are expensive.
Overall a really good day out, especially with vouchers!

We arrived at 9.30am - and there were already quite few people there.
Our entry cost was only £17 as I had won vouchers for 2 kids to get in free.
We spent the whole day and did everything.
Went on the tractor (free), saw all the animals, went on the train (£1 each), touched a snake, and had hotdogs (£3.50 each)! We even managed to catch 2 talks - both were excellent and the keepers knowledge was also excellent.
The animal enclosures are clean and well kept, Compared to other wildlife parks in my opinion they seem small.
The reason it lost a point, is that many years ago Paradise Wildlife Park was a lovely family run Park that did not have lots of rides and attractions that took the childrens attention away from the main purpose of their visit - which is the animals.
Having spent the day telling my 4yr old that we will go on the rides before we go home became very tedious.
I recommend if the weather is good you take the kids swim suits for the splash Park.
Also visit the motorbike musuem, they have some amazing stuff in there.

good day out, soft play area great for when it gats cold! all big cats look in fantastic condition and have lovely enclosures.

Had a brilliant day at this wildlife park, including a Meet the Meerkat's experience - was absolutely brilliant!

I had the best day here in June. Paradise Wildlife Park is a lovely place, good value for money and a great opportunity to see rare big cats like the snow tiger, leopard and white lion. So beautiful. The high walkways are the best way to see the cats in all their glory. The park is well set out and not too big, so you can go back and revisit any animals you may have missed or see the feeds. Hearing the lions roar was a great highlight and the leopard feed at the end of the day topped it off. Can't wait to revisit and kids and adults alike will love it.

We visited the park on a Sunday in the school holidays and it was very busy BUT it did not feel crowded at all. We saw all the animals and feeding times etc and were able to see everything easily. There is a good variety of animals and all looked fit, healthy and well. Some of the enclosures could do with a little updating, penguins for example, but this did not take away from the enjoyment of our day. There were plenty of picnic areas around and we easily found somewhere to sit. Tea and coffee was very reasonably priced, just £3 for a large cup of tea and coffee. I would say the park is more suited to children but we are in our 50s and had a great time. There are absolutely loads of children's play areas to keep them amused, as well as all the animals to see and a petting zoo which was fun too. Staff were all very knowledgeable and answered all questions in detail. I would definitely recommend this park for a visit, especially for those with young children, a great day out.

This place is amazing, i have been before and i was not disappointed second time round. Your experience is the best you will experience.
You get close to the animals w=ith out lots of large fences blocking your view

We had a really nice day here, myself, my Mum & my two children (aged 8 & 10).

We got here early, a little before it opened...I'm glad we did as we saw all the animals in the whole park as they were getting up & out their sleeping areas before the army of pushchairs & toddlers arrived.

I think this a good park for children up to 10 years of age, as things are close together & there's lots of other bits to do along with seeing the animals. We opted for goes on things that there was an extra charge for rather than buying anything in the shop, to be honest I saved money doing it that way!!

We loved seeing all the big cats, although it would be nicer to see them in bigger environments. I appreciate that it costs a lot to run somewhere like this & keep the public entertained, purely because of the cost of these type of animals...but if funds could be spent on enlarging enclosures I think that would be a good thing.

My two enjoyed the indoor play area, they also enjoyed some of the things like the diggers & racing cars...although they are getting to the older point of growing out of these things.
There is plenty here for younger children.

We also enjoyed the National Speedway Museum, what a little treasure. Lots & lots of bikes for any speedway enthusiast, my children, my Mum & me all liked going in here...was nice for something different.

We took a picnic, so I can't comment on food costs...although we did have ice creams, about the same cost as most attractions these days.
I thought the cost of the cake in the indoor play area was very good, especially when you consider how much you would spend in Costa or Starbucks!

I would like to say that more toilets are needed!

Thank you for a lovely day.

Carole : )

The trip was really fun all of the animals there looked happy and you could feed them also the entire team who helped us were really nice and helpful thank you Ellie, Eleanor, Sandra, Amy, Lucy, Katy, Mr Jingles, Thyra, also a massive thank you to Amy for helping us adopt Thrya a thanks to Sandra for having a look for some sloth related items and Lucy was very kind when it came to the gem digging and the wasps weren't really any problem at all you'd expect it at a place fillies with ice cream and I didn't see a single person get stung but still everyone there was amazing

We had the most amazing day ever! I really can’t say enough to express how great it was! Whilst the animals have to be the star if the show, I have to say that the staff were the best I have ever seen. Let me start with Sandra (The Queen of the Gift Shop). This woman was 100% committed to giving us the best experience ever. She moved mountains to look after us and was an absolute delight to chat with. I had a small request for some merchandise and she found an excellent solution and tracked me down in the park to deliver it for me. I don’t know of any higher level of dedication possible. Brava, Sandra! Eleanor was a delight to speak with on the crazy golf, she guarded our bag of cabbage and carrots with the heart of a lion (obviously that is a metaphor, given it is a wildlife park! I’m not an animal! (Whoops again, my bad!)). The marvellous Lucy allowed my 12 year old son to pan for gold and gems and literally find millions of dollars worth of booty. To see the joy on his face was a delight only eclipsed by the “buy it now” price achieved on EBay a few minutes ago. Ellie in the gift shop was a sweetheart to us and totalled our purchases with excellence. She kept smiling and was delightful even though she was being ribbed for not seeing Jurassic World. She said it was because she was short of funds, but we know the real reason Ellie; you are scared. But there was no need for other to spoil it by telling you that the Indominus Rex gets killed in the end (it deserves it!). And the amazing Amy, was truly amazing! She has a degree in Psychology and still found time to speak to the likes of me (was a bit surprised that she couldn’t read my mind though? Well it is summer break for Uni?). And there was the delightful Lucy, a true gem amongst the coloured sand shack. So friendly and lovely to us. She has been accepted to star as a stewardess at Ryan air (But don’t stand for the pay for you own accommodation and for the course itself, I think that they are abusing your trusting nature. You are worth them paying for you!). And Pia was a true font of knowledge on sloths and the sloth experience. She really helped us to understand that whilst my son loves sloths, it really is not an option to kidnap one as it would be a criminal offence.
But then the highlight was our conversations with Katy at window number 5 (but she moved to window number 3?). My 12 year old son, Danny, was committed to adopt a sloth. With the true excellence of Katy, this is what he has done today. Not only has she sorted out the adoption process, but arranged for the sloth to be photographed with him. She took his number so that she could get in touch to make the arrangements and send him an adoption pack. The customer service experience she provided was excellent. We have asked if with the adoption we could bring the sloth to our house for every other weekend and maybe weddings, funerals and bar-mitzvahs. But we are told that the sloth is not Jewish? But more importantly, there are 2 sloths at the park and they are Mr Jingles and Thyra (AKA Mrs Jingles). We saw Mr, but couldn’t see Mrs? Maybe next time. The desire is that a baby sloth is produced and Katy has promised that it will be named by Danny. We are making up the spare bed as we speak/type.
To address the bitter comments of those that come to Paradise Wildlife Park and don’t enjoy themselves:- If people find that wasps find them attractive, they should ask themselves some serious questions as to, why? I have some suggestions, but would like to keep this post polite! If you can shop for food at Aldi and get it a lot cheaper, here is a thought . . . . go there! Some people need to suck a lemon to sweeten their palate.
If anyone would like to contact me to verify my comments or serve a subpoena, you can reach me on amos.rodrigues@ntlworld.com or 0750 449 8804.

We booked to stay at the park for one night and from the moment we arrived we were impressed. The staff were friendly and helpful, the toilets all had built in drop down child seats, the park was clean and tidy and there was plenty to see and do for adults and children. We stayed in the zebra apartment and again this was clean and tidy with a TV in the lounge area and in both of the bedrooms. I can't think of a bad thing to say. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit.

Paradise Wildlife park is an amazing place to take the family for a fun filled day out for all age groups...especially kids, the kids facilities are one of the best i have seen and my family totally loved it. Will defo be coming back here with more family and friends.

We spend well over 5 hours there and could have spend an entire day
