Various play parks,,both inside and out. Also includes a park for disabled/wheelchair
users. Food choices were good and had outside stage entertainment. The zoo was much improved from a previous visit and was accessable for all with high viewing
platforms. Was clean and animals appeared well cared for.

Paradise Wildlife Park is definitely worth a visit. Has something for everyone. We took my 11 year old niece and her two younger sisters here for a day out and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did they get to see loads of different animals, but there was also several areas for them to play in. At most places like this you pay a fortune for food, but we found the prices really reasonable.

We visited on a sunny Saturday and the park was buzzing but the crowds did not hinder our enjoyment as there is plenty to see and do. Amelie thoroughly enjoyed feeding all the animals that she could and was particularly pleased to see the Reindeer. Although it seemed quite expensive to enter the park we did manage to see it all and spent nearly 5 hours there.

Four of us had a lovely day wandering round the park which including two of us spending some time tickling - although more like hard scratching four sleepy tapirs. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a good value day out.

So I took my nephew back for his annual treat. As always we took the train and then the minibus, since I can't drive it is very helpful and at £3 return for an adult and £1 return per child very reasonable, the driver was friendly and chatty and soon we were at PWP, earlier than the opening time but ready for a busy day with the lovely animals, there is so much to do and see and on this visit we played safari crazy golf in which the 5yr old beat his nanna and me, we went into the jungle theatre for the first time and watched the animal antics show where Albert decided he wanted a ferret! We spent ages wandering around watching the lovely animals, Baikal the white tiger was being fed it was amazing to see how big he is on two legs! We watched the tigers in the sun and the jaguars snooze, Moto the lion treated us to one of his roaring fits much to the amusement of my nephew. We had a light lunch in safari sams diner which is really reasonable and the good nice after which we went on the woodland railway followed by more walking around the park, nanna took Albert in to see the snakes and lizards etc, the one place I just can't bring myself to go in! We saw raccoon dogs sleeping and the otters playing, Albert made a sand sculpture in the crazy sands shed he had great fun filling a dinosaur bottle full of different coloured sands, at the end of the day we visited the gift shop and caught the minibus back to the station, Albert had been so excited for his birthday treat and he wasn't disapointed!
In less than a week mother and I were back at PWP this time for me to feed the red pandas! We arrived, had a cup of coffee then had a quick look round watching the meerkats play, Baikal the white tiger doze, the baby reindeer wandering around its paddock and the baby penguin swim as the others snuggled in pairs in their nest boxes, soon it was time to make my way to the discovery centre, I was greeted and offered drinks and biscuits, then I met Amy the keeper who took me into the enclosure, she was just lovely and knowledgeable, she told me lots I didn't know I fed these beautiful creatures whom were so gentle and amazing to look at close up, if you love pandas then you should visit these little guys they are just gorgeous! After my experience I wandered around the park and did the things I had the week before, the animals are clearly happy healthy and well looked after which is a huge must for me! The friends of paradise wildlife park opened its stall next to the red panda enclosure they had lovely little momentos for sale, in some ways I think this has a better selection of PWP merchandise and buying from them you know the money goes back to the animals! Another amazing visit, if I could I'd go everyday, I can't recommend it highly enough! Staff are friendly, helpful and you can see the keepers adore their animals, it's a wonderful day out for families but also for couples and friends especially those who love animals!!! 100% gets my vote every time! Can't wait to go back again especially since there is something new or different each time. Everyone go and visit Paradise Wildlife Park it's great!

I recieved a voucher as a birthday gift for this zoo to spend a day with two photographers giving me the opportunity to get up close with some of the zoo animals and take amazing quality photos of them as well as finding out loads of information from the keepers. It was a fantastic day out! My sister found the voucher on group on, she said it would have been a little pricey otherwise! Maggie and her husband (who I've forgotten the name of!) gave me and one other a personal tour around the zoo. We had the chance to get into the Lemur section being so close with them that we had to zoom out on our cameras! I won't spoil it if you would like to go but i'd highly recommend it! The zoo is great too if you would just like to wander around. I've never been to one with so many big vats! Being a cat lover, it's a lovely place to go!

The Garden Tour given by Gordon, the Head Gardener, was very informative. Not only did we learn about the food grown for the animals but we were given a realistic approach to gardening. I'm daunted by manicured and perfect gardens. Gordon made gardening seem possible. I went home with renewed vigour.
The tea was very welcome and we had a great view of the tigers. it reminded me of 'The Tiger who came to Tea'.
After tea we were able to spend time looking at the animals and go on the woodland walk. The experience exceeded expectations. Gordon's enthusiasm was undeniable. Thank you!

We booked this through Groupon and I have to say the staff are all friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was clean and well equipped. The actual venue itself is probably one of the best child friendly places I have ever been to. I will definitely be coming back again. They have catered for every eventuality. Their prices are reasonable (i.e. not extortionate compared to other well known attractions!)

We came here with two children (4&3) looking to see some animals but we're a bit bored with Colchester and London Zoo. We were so impressed. It's well sign posted and we parked easily just after opening. We also were pleased to receive 50% off our adult tickets with our NHS ID badges. We felt like we had the park to ourselves for a couple of hours. You have a great display of animals including tigers, lions, zebra's and loads more. You can see them from the ground or many enclosures have a bridge that you can view from.
We are here too, which was ok but next time I will bring food with me. The play area is huge and will keep children of all ages entertained for as long as you let them play. The train ride for littluns is a must and only £1.

We liked it mainly because my 16 month old son liked it very much. This park is not like usual wildlife park, this is specially made for kids. Though there are big cats, birds and mammals, surely not upto the mark in terms of varieties of animals used to be showcased in wildlife park.

Shuttle like service is available from Broxbourne rail station, this would be easy for the people who come by train.

Food items are really costly.
Situated in good place. Lot of sceneries in and arround the park.

They make money inside to go by kids train and buy food for animals(for some small animals)

Well maintained, informative, staffs are really friendly.

Thanks for making the day as really special to us.

We went this afternoon with grandchildren, 13, 10 and 5, we arrived at 14.00 which gave us enough time to visit most areas. Parking was easy, the park was extremely clean, the animals didn't look miserable, they were mostly enjoying the sunshine and sleeping. Their enclosures, whilst not massive, were very clean, spotless in fact. The park is very safe for children to go off and have an explore without too much adult intervention. It has a lovely atmosphere, lots of play areas, bouncy castles and slides, a pirate ship, old fire engine, swings, too many to mention. If you want a fab day / afternoon out I would recommend. Big plus, lots of sitting places for worn out oldies to drink tea and watch the kids having fun!! Thumbs up Paradise Park, don't change what you have, it's brill!

Great day out certainly will come again, friendly staff, The experience was mad very enjoyable by the keeper Johnny who was excellent at his job, very kind caring and helpful, especially getting mum's wheel chair into the enclosure, thankyou Johnny, the rest of the park was very enjoyable too and would recommend it's worth the visit.

We've visited the park several times before and were planning a visit in the summer holidays. When we saw the Monkey Mile advertised it seemed like a good time to go. We took part in the monkey mile on Sunday August 2nd 2015 and I really hope that they will do this again next year as it was brilliant. Not only was it a great experience but it was also raising money for lemur conservation in the process. The cost was only £9 per person and after the walk was completed (with an unexpected+brilliant talk on the history of the park and many of the animals...Thank you Aaron!) We were then free to enjoy the park for the rest of the day... I would recommend Paradise Wildlife Park and especially this experience to others and hope it is the first of many monkey miles xx

This place is a great day out for a young family, we visited with our 2 yr old and 9 month old both enjoyed it.
It's quick to get around the park which is great for when you have kids and it has a cafe and an indoor soft play area as well as an outdoor play area for kids.

Some animals you could only see by going up some stairs and there was no access for prams so we had to leave the buggy unattended but other than that good facilities for families with young ones.

I have wanted to visit the park for quite some time after a recommendation from a friend and the zoo didn't disappoint. My wife and I are on a bucket list challenge to visit every zoo in the UK, so the pwp was next on our list. My first impression was how relaxed the animals all seemed. You can see how the keepers really care on a personal level for the animals they look after. The enclosures were kept very clean. Viewing the animals at different angles is possible using the overhead walk ways or at ground level. The zoo layout meant you don't have to walk for miles and revisiting the different enclosures was very easy.i would recommend the zoo to anybody.it was a very enjoyable day

On arrival it firstly appears as a kids park however the animal enclosures and shows are catered for all ages! All the show talks are very informative and very enjoyable, the animals are very entertaining and you can personally feed some of the animals too! Overall a great day out takes up 3 hours to do the whole park!

Great day trip - lots to see but all within easy walking distance and very suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Book online for great discount.

We visit Paradise Wildlife Park regularly anyway but my family bought my husband and me a Red Panda Experience for my birthday. We were greeted with coffee and biscuits and a free T shirt and then Connor, the very helpful small mammal keeper, took us to prepare some fruit to feed the Pandas. We saw the area where food is prepared for various animals and then carried the fruit into the Panda enclosure. It was such a wonderful experience feeding them! We were really close up with them. We were advised not to try to stroke them but we were able to feed them pieces of fruit by hand. Later we held branches of bamboo (grown in the zoo) for them to nibble. They were really gentle and so CUTE!! Best birthday present ever!!!

We took a two-year old to this park for a birthday treat. I was rather doubtful about going but am very pleased that I did. The cages aren't as large as those at Whipsnade, but, despite that, the animals seemed comfortable and happy. It was also quite clear that they were all well cared for. We all enjoyed the visit, from the two-year old up to those in their seventies and I think that all of us would be happy to go again.

Apart from the animals, the park has a reasonable restaurant and a good play area suitable for children from toddlers upwards.

Had a family day out at paradise wildlife park on 02/08/15.

It was easy to get there. Sat nav took us straight down to the main entrance.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Plenty of play areas for children under 11. My daughter enjoyed herself very much in the bouncy castles, swings and slides.

Was a bit disappointed about the big cats territory. The three lionesses and the lion were all out basking in the sun, but we could not see any tiger. We spotted a snow leopard lying high up. We saw a cheetah which was moving around in his area. Could not see the jaguar as his territory was dense with vegetation.

On the other hand we had a lot of funs seeing the camel, reindeers, lamas, Emus, gibbons, poneys, Sheeps, goats and the red panda.

The bird paradise was also good.

There are plenty areas for picnic as well.

In general we had a good day out.

I definitely recommend it to family with small children.

Visited yesterday with family. What a brilliant day. There was so much to do especially for young children. Our grandchildren are aged between 7 to 4 and they absolutely loved it. As well as the animal park, there were at least 3-4 good play areas that had bouncy castles. There was no extra cost for these like a lot of other parks. Very good value for money and would definately come again.

Recently visited with my 2 children and they had a great day we stayed for 7hours ! And they would have stayed longer had we not had to be somewhere else . So much for the children to see and do and even during school holidays it's so big that it doesn't feel overcrowded . The only reason why I've not given it a 5 rating is , that feeding animals is so expensive when you only pay £35 for a family entrance to pay another £125 per person to feed big cats seems ridiculous

Visited for the second time in ten years to give our youngest grandaughter a good day out.
Found the attractions as good as before with better displays and more play areas which we left till last. She had a busy, informative and entertaining day.Our only criticisms there could be more attendants to answer queries and better signage generally especially getting away to the M25/A10
Otherwise very good.

What a fantastic place this is! Lots to do for all ages especially the younger ones with loads of things to do. The wildlife was a great sight, a vast collection from tigers and lions to red pandas and tapirs they also looked content and relaxed. Theirs also a woodland walk which takes you away from it all,a track that skirts round the woods amongst the deers and foxes. If you come with children and take your time you could easily spend the entire day here. A Really entertaining and excellent attraction.

Great - Well Worth the Trip!
Great zoo. Fantastic animals, well cared for and in good conditions. A truly world class collection of big cats (tigers, white lions, leopards, jaguar etc). Much less crowded than London zoo and a very pleasant morning or afternoon out!
