It was such a great day out. Half hour train journey from Liverpool street station and a short bus ride to the park. The staff was so lovely and friendly. It was very busy and popular with family with children. It is better than zoo, as they animal has a bigger area to live in and the animal looks clean and healthy.

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.

Went to feed the wolves experience with my daughter, brilliant experience Pia the wolf guide was a font of knowledge and experience in this we had a long time to see the European and Norwegian wolves very close up.
The park was a great eye opener to others that seem closed off she enclosures were quite open and you felt you could go very close to the animals . There was a platform for the lions and penguins so you could Watch them loved it I think it is the only animal park apart from one other in Bedford you felt very close to the animals and got a real feel for the size and smell of them the fruit bat enclosure was unique and unusual I was expecting a dark place but they were up in the rafters which was amusing to see them looking at us. Great day out would recommend it.

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

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!
