Lovely to see meerkats and red pandas as well as otters etc. less keen on seeing the big cats penned in, sometimes in a cage which seemed too small for them. Raised questions as to how much value zoos still offer in the world especially with programmes by the likes of David Attenborough on tv.

great place and well laid out to maximise space. highly recommended. Well organised for children and of course for adults

very expensive which puts me off visiting again unless i use vouchers! nice clean and tidy park, could do with more bins.

epic

We had a great day here. Only thing is please have someone around when young children are in the park, we were viewing the repltiles when at least 20 children ran in screaming and banging on the glass, we had to get out and come back later on, felt sorry for the poor animals trying to sleep, apart from that a great day out

Went to paradise wildlife park last week taking a 3 1/2 year old. He loved it! The indoor play area was great and it took a while to get him away from it to see the animals. Once we did he enjoyed seeing all the different animals. We enjoyed it as well, will be returning.

One of best zoo at UK ;) Even little ones will enjoy, as there's a lots of playgrounds ;) Definitely recommend this one ;)

although this is not one of the bigger zoo's around, it has a fantastic collection of animals. There is plenty for the kids to do, and the speedway museum is really good

Really enjoyable day out gun, lots if animals. We didn't miss any as all up front. Fairly priced food. Kids loved it x

Walking slowly around the park, reading about all the fate of the future of these animals, makes you realise we need
to do something to safeguard them.

White Tigers, Snow leooards are top of the list but....spend 30 minutes with the Meercats or any other animals ( penguins, lemurs) and you realise what a great job is being done by this amazing place.

It is in need of refurbishment in places, but I for one am happy to see the money spent on the animals.

It is not expensive, is fantastic for kids and adults alike.

Take the time to see everything and go back...as I will....

separately the best

Gets very busy on the weekend and school holidays but that is to be expected. Some amazing animals to be seen and lovely for a "something different to do" day out.

whilst not outstanding, there is a lot for children to do here. Some of the animal enclosures were small.. We come from Kent and are used to the wonderful natural and large areas devoted to the animals at the Aspinall parks of Port Lympne and Howletts. Some of the enclosures at Paradise were overcrowded and the animals looked bored. Food on offer was the usual uninspiring burgers and chips, pizzas etc which were well cooked but uninspiring.
The park is well designed and fairly small so not overwhelming.
Enjoyable day but the sad expression on the white lions face haunted me for some time..

We have been to this zoo quite a lot now and although not a lot has change it is still a very pleasant park. We saw the white lions and white tiger in the their houses so they were very close to us and we got an amazing view. Some of the enclosures are a bit small particularly the lions and snow leopards and we felt a bit sorry for them. There are a lot of feeding times and talks so you can get a better view (not that you need one) and see the animals being fed however nobody turned up to the red panda feeding. We also saw the tigers being given cow skin, not that we minded however the keepers were handling it with their bear hands and had no type of gloves on which we thought was disgusting.

Overall we had a nice day however please get some gloves for your staff its not much to ask.

Me & my partner have been here twice now, we love the fact that you can get up close to the animals & even feed them, we stroked & fed zebras, tapirs, deer, alpacas, ouessant sheep, reindeer & small deer. The bird enclosure was good, loved the crow(well intelligent, I called it over & it came & I spoke to it lol & he squawked back at me ha ha) the cara cara was fascinating, a bit like the crow. The black ouessant ram called Patrick is always my highlight on visiting the park, i love stroking n fussing him but he gets a bit rude by reversing up then charging at the metal fence with a loud 'bang' at you lol, I do love him though :)
There's the Treetop Café where you can grab a cuppa & bite to eat then go & sit right at the main big window & watch the Tiger feeding where the keeper throws a massive bit of meat up on a big wooden ledge then lets the tigers out & feed, its close to watch & a great experience.
There's a wildlife walk where you can see the deer & there's a wolf trail where you can see them in an enclosure, there's a main stage where they put on performances for the kids & a big play area too. Plenty to do all day long.
I will be visiting again in the future as its a great day out for families & couples too.

We had a great day out with our friends and their three year old daughter. The park is big enough to house some wonderful animals but small enough to keep a young child happy. The set up is really well thought out and the tiger top cafe was the highlight of the day. Not only was the view of the enclosure magnificent but Sally, who works there gave us lots of interesting facts about the lions and tigers and the breeding programmes. She taught us all something new. This is a great day out for anyone with young children but equally enjoyable for adults who are still young at heart.

Check out their feeding time! We got the opportunity to feed the lorikeets and see them feeding the big cats.

They also have friendly macaws and parrots who can say Hello!

It's best to bring your own food as the burger/sandwich weren't that great. They also have picnic spots.

Visited the Park with partner for a 'Feed the Meerkats' experience bought as a present. Arrived as arranged around 3pm for our 3.15pm appointment. The young lady on the desk was helpful and welcoming and explained that we may have the experience on our own or with another couple just depended on the animals and what were on show and which were on rest days. Served us tea/coffee and biscuits while we waited and suggested we had a quick look around the exotic birds just outside the Discovery Centre. We did that and then were off on our 'experience'. We were lucky to share our experience on our own and 5 darling meerkats who we fed and then stroked and cuddled. They were so tame and very cheeky - climbing on our laps and shoulders. The member of staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. We were invited to enjoy the rest of the afternoon in the park free of charge and given a gift of a t shirt and certificate. What a great afternoon - just wished we had arrived earlier and spent more time in the park. Now looking to buy another experience !! Fancy feeding the lemurs or red pandas next ! Parking immense and refreshments good and plentiful - not sure of prices as we got a free entry with experience BUT wait for special offers on the experience through BuyaGift or similar otherwise £168 for two which is a tad expensive (experience itself only lasts 30mins) - think we paid about £80 for two which was good value. They do sell the experiences on their website but on checking I believe they are more expensive than through a company on line who speciallises in this type of experience.

I must visit this place at least 4-5 times a year and have the most amazing time every visit.
The way the park is set out/up gives a unique and wonderful insight into the wild animals. I have never been bored or felt rushed when visiting this park, and find the animals incredibly well looked after. Its also a fantastic place to take children where they can get up and close to all the animals. The park staff are very knowledgeable and are able to answer all questions about the animals.
A fantastic day out can't rate it high enough....

Brilliant. Loads of animals and u can get so close to them. Fantastic place to take younger children. Loads to see and do, as well as animals.

This is a great place for every one lots of animals to see ,with talks and feeding times for different animals all day there is also several different play areas plus an indoor ball pond and slides ,there is also four different types of bounced castles . There is a lovely outdoor paddling pool . Plenty of picnic areas or a food place if you wish to buy food . You can also use tesco vouchers to get in a good day out for the kids plenty of parking which is free .

Great to visit for all the family, there's plenty to see for Mum's and Dad's and all the children from very young upwards.

I visited PWP with my partner yesterday and was left quite disappointed. The park is very small compared to other zoos we have visited and almost half of it was covered in inflatable slides and kids rides. I'm sure families love it here but we only came to see the animals so were unhappy at how small the area was. We expected a day out and was only there for 2 hours.

When you have a lot of children,(whether they are your own, or someone else'), you want them to have fun although not at any cost. I have been to this attraction many times, however, this time around I visited with three nieces ages range form 7 - 10.
First, you pay less if you book on line and that is what I resorted to, thank God the printer was working. The children loved the animals, the talks, the fact that they can feed the animals, listen to talks and see some special shows put on.
What is more, there were lots and lots of activity areas, which means I could relax and let the children have fun.
The food is also very reasonably priced, three hungry mouths to feed cost next to nothing, although I did supplement with lunch from home. There were a few things that you had to pay for which again was reasonable.
People like me always steer clear of the souvenir shops, but with the one in PWP, you will not be disappointed, you could purchase things for as little as a pound.
The staff? they are overwhelmingly friendly, the children were having so much fun and I did not know it was time to head back, so we missed the last bus, but I cannot really count how many seconds it took for someone to radio someone who put another bus out for us, just four us in the shuttle bus - it was amazing and the driver joked with the kids all the way. We also had a tractor ride with a very lovely driver.
Paradise Wildlife Park is an attraction and a half - the price, the staff and yes the animals made it worth our time and money.

Drove all the way from the North west of England to Broxbourne as my Son had bought me a Feed the Lemurs for 2 experience for my Birthday...WELL worth the long journey!. Medium sized zoo....Half Zoo on one side half play area, Theme park on the other. Ample parking space. And good facilities. Staff very friendly and informative....Animals in beautiful condition and well looked after ,by the look of them, Average size encloseurs. White Tigers,Snow leopards . Penguins lions Wolfs childrens petting area...the list go's on.....Fast food ,but good quality what was served to us.....The Lemur Experience Myself & My Husband had was simply the nicest thing I have ever done.....Brilliant for any animal lover.Greeted at the Discovery Centre, by Attentive staff with Tea/Coffee & a lovely assortment of biscuits...Our Keeper introduced himself and explained what would happen on our tour and took us to the Lemur Enclouseur . And gave us each a large Bowl of fruit each to feed them with...we were taken into the outside area of the cages and went inside and & sat on the bench inside...The lovely keeper called their names and a full family of Ring Tail Lemurs decended on us...ever so gently....Wow they were beautiful and delicate so well mannered ...nobody snatched the fruit & took it ever so gently from your fingers or opened thie mouths for it so gently again......Paradise. The keeper took my Phone & clicked away leaving us with lots of Beautiful photos and gave us a really informative talk about them. The time flew but after half an hour it was time to leave this area. we were then shown around pens and their inside living areas. You are then free to explore the rest of the zoo afterwards in the price. Cannot praise the staff enough they are really passionate about all the Animals in their charge & if animals have to live in a zoo I would think they would be very lucky to live at Paradise Park as although their space is not at a premium... I have never seen Animals in such a healthy condition as I did here......Do go see !
