Took my grandchildren on last min if looking what to do just wish I'd found it sooner , my granddaughter has visual impairment and the animals with her camera were closer than most places we have been so one happy girl

I can not fault the playground, entertainment and other various attractions but I'm afraid to say the animal aspect of the park lets it down.

I wasn't going to leave a review but I feel I must if only for the sake of the poor animals. I'm no expert or tree hugger but I couldn't help but feel the animals are in cages that are far too small.

Some animals especially the big cats seemed on the edge of insanity - pacing up and down in very small enclosures. Children learing through the windows at them constantly.

When I visit other zoos like whipsnade I feel like they are part of a bigger picture - conservation and animal welfare - although here I had a sense of guilt that I had just paid (a lot!!) to come and see animals in some kind of freak show.

These beautiful creatures deserve better.

Other than that we had a nice day at the park and paid extra for the little rides etc. glad the bouncy castle was free but felt it should be manned for health and safety reasons.

A big thankyou for a lovely day , My great nieces and great nephew really enjoyed it ages 7yrs 5yrs 3yrs , loved the play area , But some bigger kids were running and pushing the younger kids , need more of a age limit or at least height ,

Took our little boy for his 2nd birthday and he loved it. First time hes been to this type of place and from beginning to end the things for him to do was endless. Adventure play areas soft play areas farm and the animals brilliant day out and good value for money me and his dad had a good day too would definitely visit again.

As the title suggests this is my third visit to the Park and I noted the improvemnts and changes since my last visit (3 years ago). The only drawback to an otherwise lovely day was 1) the noise of the music blaring out from the speakers by the stage. We could not even talk to each other and 2) by far the worst was the Hygiene not coplied with by the attendant in Sams Kiosk. We had 2 cheese and onion rolls and the attendent picked up the cheese with his fingers! Disgusting. This Park could be closed down because of the poor catering standards if the owners are not careful

We enjoyed seeing all of the rare animals, especially the snow leopard.
A good day out, lots to do.
Cost of entry a bit expensive had there been more than the one adult and one child it would have been out of our price bracket.

I'm glad we made a visit but having thought about it I am left feeling that keeping what should be wild animals in tiny enclosures is not right. I think quality of life now means these animals should be free, and if that means we loose them then for the sake of the animal that's what I'd prefer. Keeping big cats, primates and zebra, to name but a few, in enclosures of the size we saw is wrong.

Wow what a brilliant day. I bought my partner and myself a Tiger Feeding Experience for his birthday.
The Wildlife Park is superb, very clean and lots of keepers around working hard looking after their animals.
We fed tigers meat at 3pm by hand which was awesome, our keeper was lovely and very informative about your safety and the tigers.
We would definitely go to the park again and are now saving to go to their sister park in Kent, this is by appointment only for experiences, not open to the public.

Lovely place with a nice selection of animals on display. Would be great to visit if you have kids. Easily spend a whole day here.

I helped facilitate a group of 30 young people attend the park as part of an organised event.

The park seems to have grown from strength to strength in relation to the animals available to enjoy and the information and education promoting the welfare and preservation of the animals.

It rained quite heavily during our visit and my only gripe was the female more mature member of staff who works in the indoor soft play area. She had an unfriendly, unhelpful approach to any questions, shouted at some of the children in a way that I didn't feel was appropriate for a children's service and looked scary!

Me and my husband took our four children, 15yrs, 8yrs and 6yr old twins. They all had a great time in both the play areas and seeing the animals. There was plenty to see and lots of places to eat your own picnic or buy food. We used Tesco vouchers which is also handy as it would've cost us £102!! There was a stage with entertainers on but we did'nt watch them so I can't really comment but it looked ok. The younger children enjoyed the little pool. We did visit 2 years ago and they have updated things.I would definatley visit again. There was lots of access for wheelchairs and a small playground called"a special place" which I thought was a nice touch.

One of the few zoo's to offer attraction of seeing a few rare animals...snow leopard/white tiger..so that was a treat however..the day was spoilt with some unforgivable areas that need sorting out 1. The food was both diabolical and expensive..we were given a dried up slab of meat in a dry bun no garnish... It looked and tasted like a dead animal left in the desert dead for 2weeks... Even with a drink it was a job to swallow it..and was about £12 with chips and drink. The canteen staff consisted of underage youngsters who unsupervised were just enjoying chatting and joking with each other... You cant blame them at that age..but i can pass blame to the zoo..they were ill trained and unsupervised and it reflected in the food offered. I did highlight on email to broxbourne/paradise..they didnt even have the courtesy to respond...many reviews knock the food yet no improvements put in place to address-take it or leave it attitude. The staff working..we found a couple good ones but also saw young staff in pens...chatting on their mobile phones..again..unsupervised doing what they want... This was disconcerting to see-an accident waiting to happen for one of them no doubt! .. There didnt seem to be anyone around staff wise and visitors were allowing their children to run and climb where they shouldnt and tease the animals... Notices shd be up and checks to address such behaviour. Everyone allowed to do as they please..the place had a feeling of unorganised chaos to it. Some animals were showing signs of frustration... In other zoo's -Colchester for example they put enough toys to occupy them and build surroundings akin to the outside for the animals to feel comfortable in... Paradise Wild Park looked careless in comparison. On the plus side - the park overall was nice.. And there was a chance to see rarer animals...and there was a bus service to and from station which other locations lack...but it was severely let down by its carelessness and inability to address issues mentioned above which are shown in many reviews of the park...as i've pointed out even emails are ignored... Paradise Wild Park have a lot going for them if they could only be bothered addressing their very easily solvable issues.

I loved the day out here seeing all the animals and and walking around the park. There are things to keep children entertained and lots of information about the animals that kept my interest. However, the cafe had very little choice so I would recommend you maybe take a picnic!

Had a great day yesterday at paradise wildlife... They got lots of animals and activities.. I'm giving 3 stars only because the cages were to small..

We've just got back from a wonderful day out at PWP, having taken our young grandson there for his first trip to a zoo. There is so much to keep the kids occupied and entertained, the Tumble Jungle soft play centre went down well with us and the little fella. The big cats are awesome, especially the snow leopards, so beautiful.
It was lovely to see so many families enjoying a day out, I highly recommend PWP as a good summer family attraction.

Took my two boys here and we had a lovely day. We only live a few miles away so visit a few times a year and my children always enjoy themselves and cant wait to come back. I prefer it here to london zoo because of the play areas and little splash pool so although its not cheap to get in you can make a whole day of it. im not a animal welfare expert but the animals all seem to be well looked after the staff genuinely look like they care for them and are happy to answer questions. Will be visiting again soon

We are pass holder for pwp and it is like our second home we really love going and the kids never get bored thank you pwp

Great family day out for all. Plenty to do and see for all the family. Nice to see animals so well cared for and truly loved. We'll sign posted good clear information on the animals. Easy to get around with a buggy. Good facilities you have all you need. Great places to eat. As well as places to have a picnic. A really great fun playground for the kids. I had to drag the kids out. We will be going again and again. My tip look out for discount codes and voucher deals, this makes the day even better and good value.

We went here today £70 for 2 small children and 2 adults animals all appear soooo well looked after great to be so close but ....
All other entertainment I e train diggers you have to pay £1 per person so costly day out food good value with salads burgers etc
Would not go back again

We had a fantastic day out today at Paradise Park. There are a vast amount of animals there with a special section dedicated to Big Cats which was amazing. Everything is clearly sign posted with specific information relating to each animal. Lots of the animals are rescue animals, there is a focus on the problems the animals face and why lots of them are endangered, they also give examples of how to help the endangered animals.

We had a £10 off voucher so we paid £18 per adult and our 2 year old went free. We went to the park with our family and it was £15 for a child's ticket. There is an incredible amount to do inside the park so we spent most of the day there. The animals were split up into sections but they were easy to walk between. Nothing is too spread out yet nothing is too close together. I didn't feel like the park was packed at any point during the day.

A few of the adults went to play crazy golf (£2pp) while my daughter (2) went to all the slides, undercover bouncy castle, saw the safari dance show and took a ride on the train (£1). Everything in the park was reasonably priced although I did feel £5 for face painting was a bit much but saying that the face painting looked like stage make up quality and was fantastic (just didnt think my 2 year old would sit that long to have it done).

I can honestly say this is the best park I have been too. The grounds were exceptionally clean, plenty of toilets (no queuing), disabled access, easy to go around with a pram and some opportunities for little ones to pet the animals.

My only negative is that some people were walking around smoking. It would have been nice if there was a blanket ban on smoking in the park as there is such a high volume of children there.

Also bonus - we had a free box of goodies from the classroom area, a book about the park, stickers, toys, badges, colouring in sheets, a novel and sweets. This was a promotional event taking place that day.

I would definitely return to the park and recommend it to my friends. Thanks to the staff who were all very friendly and helpful throughout the day.

The park offers a fantastic day out for young and old alike. We were able to feed the goats, sheep and pigs and were able to watch the feeding of the park's white tiger.

I particularly enjoyed walking into the bat's cave and the bird display!

There is also a very nice play area for children.

I Need to start by saying that I really don't like zoos. I don't like seeing animals caged! The best thing about this zoo, is so many of the animals have been rescued from much worse places or are endangered in the wild. This means that part of all the money you spend goes to helping the world and not to a big corporation! However, the zoo is only a small part of what is a great day out for the kids, in rain and shine. The prices are reasonable and there is a large variety of things to do all included in the price. There are many on-line offers that make it even better value for money.

My daughter and I went to revisit this Wildlife Park for the first time in 40 years and what a difference.

We may both be adults but we had a great day out and I would recommend it to everyone.

It is a bit pricey to get in, but they have to have the funds to care for the animals and the attractions.

My only detrimental comment is that the coffee was foul. :)

Absolutely fantastic day out - we spent the morning with one of the zookeepers, learning about the big cats living at the enclosure, as well as had the opportunity to watch them train Baikal, the stunning endangered White Tiger. We also had breakfast at the Tiger Treetops area - a new addition where you could sit and watch the tigers in their enclosure at fairly close vantage point.

Absolutely breathtaking, and it is very clear that ALL the employees and volunteers absolutely love and cherish all animals and were only too happy to help answer our questions at any point.

Lots of areas to eat, clean toilets, good access for wheelchairs, and a large safe and detailed play areas for children as well as a lovely new woodland walk attraction which was really nice to go and do as part of our day out.

Extremely well organised there, with regularly laid on minibus transport to and from Broxbourne train station if you don't have a car.

Quite clear why Paradise is one of the best private enclosures in the UK. Was our first trip there, and won't be the last. Would highly recommend.

Just in reply to the review saying the shuttle bus tried to rip them off in fact its £1 each way and that is very clear from the signs plus all of the fares go to animal welfare "Should have gone to Specsavers " or the taxi is around £5 each way !!
