What a great day, 14 of us 3 genarations, lots to see, loads for the kids, and if its not free its very cheap. great picnic areas, even a paddling pool, a train ride round the park, it goes on and on.
Ending the day with crazy golf. 18 holes and only £2.00. We will be back. Well done to all your team.

Fabulous day out with the grandkids. They loved every minute. Astounded by how close the animals are. So much to do and see. Absolutely excellent value for money experience. Will definitely go again. Brilliant.

I visited the park with my girlfriend using a Virgin Experience day voucher to meet the Red Pandas and had a very memorable time.

We arrived early and had to use a taxi to get to the park, as the shuttle buses run every 15 minutes, and we were running a little late. The staff and keeper were friendly and accommodated us even though we were behind schedule and gave us the information talk en route to the pen.

We were able to feed the pandas, who knew their own individual bowls, and get up close to them. You're not allowed to pet or stroke them, which is fair enough, but they're very gentle and even grabbed apple slices from passing some to them. The keeper was happy to answer our questions and give background information on the pandas and also help take pictures during.

After our experience we were able to explore the park freely and were very impressed by the collection of animals. It was great that the park had planned feeding shows with keepers to watch for free and there always seemed to be something going on, including stage shows for children near the cafe area.

I didn't notice much about the child facilities myself but it was very popular for families and I'm sure they were well equipped in terms of access and activities. There were also great play areas, such as bouncy castles, remote controlled car racing, fair-ground style games etc.

I'd definitely come back and recommend the park and feeding experiences to anyone interested. It'd be a good idea to get there early so you can see all the animals but I'd imagine children get tired quicker so plan for that too!

Hi, Took the kids here today my girls are 10 & 8! I found a printable voucher that gives u 20% off for up to 6 tickets at the Gate (From Smartsave) so £56 for 4! From the M25 the Park is sign posted VERY WELL they are every set of lights & every roundabout u come across..

So anyway, Looked around the Speedway Museum after having to ASK for it to be opened then We went straight to the Animals and enjoyed looking at the Lions & monkeys and walking up the ramps to see into the Enclosures watched the Birds of Prey show etc. We came across the "Amusements section" which neither of my 2 could use as too big.. Then the Play Areas's... Again mine were too big!! Now i can understand that my 10yr old is very tall & wont fit but my 8 year old is really short & wears 6/7 trousers yet she was STILL too big.. Imagine the upset when she couldn't use any of the *free rides* the tractors, karts etc all say kids must be 6 or under. By this time I'm wondering if the £56 was worth paying to get in.. i appreciate they have expenses & stuff but for me with 2 older kids we were left disappointed.

we hung around the Safari stage as 2pm show was advertised just to be told at 2 it was going to be 3, so we stayed there & got food! chips, 4 dippers & caprisun was £4.95 each. the map advertising this "show" said dances, games, meet the characters .... WELL!!!!! after 2 songs they finished... no games, characters at all *KIDS BORED BY NOW* so we left after 3hrs.

This would be a GREAT day out for families with YOUNGER (under 6's) kids & good value for money but for us on this occasion it was a waste!

My son in law was booked on a half day photography course so we decided to go with him and have a look around. We enjoyed it very much indeed. The animals looked very relaxed and well cared for. We liked the way that there were lots of refreshment areas, toilets etc. We loved it and will certainly go again. Especially good for little ones, plenty to see and play on . Especially liked the raised viewing areas. Good day had by all.

I visited paradise about 18 months ago with my 2 grandchildren and was underwhelmed with it as a zoo , however 18 months later and some tweaks around the place it has improved very much. OK the signage could be better some of the viewing is not compatible for toddlers of a certain height but there are enough 'tree top' views of some of the animals to please the little ones. The toilet facilities are clean and plentiful and eating places are adequate and offer variety.
The playground area is big enough to cope with large numbers and the woodland walk is a massive improvement on the muddy uninspiring trail of 18 months ago and the addition of the hide is a plus for the budding nature watch presenters.

Went to the park.with a disabled lad. Alas all the walkways are not smoother quite a few potholes. Animals were ok but many of the animals can't be seen from a wheelchair. Looking boothes could be built into area. Where wheelchair or small children can view animals like what they built at the meerkats area.Food there was not much of a choice in restaurant and very overpriced. It is good if you can plan what you want to see and get there in time to see it but as so many things are on at the same time you would have to have more than one visit to see all displays.luckily there are tables where you can take a packked lunch and eat.

I was given a voucher as a present for tea with tigers, when i eventually called to book it i was given a couple of dates but i advised due to distance I couldn't make the dates, the attitude was take it or leave it. I called back again and the second person couldn't be nicer, what a contrast, booked in for a suitable date but experience changed to Monkey experience instead of tigers due to the date i had chosen but this was fine and i was just so glad i could use my gift.
On the day arrived at about 11am, easily parked. It is a fair walk though to get to the zoo as you have to walk round the ramps and then through the children's section and across the road to finally get to the start.
The park is clearly marked out, although not the biggest of zoos it is still a nice one to walk around with a nice mix of animals. Some animals look sad but thats the case in most places where they are in captivity but i do understand why its done although sometimes seems cruel there not free, but important to preserve the animals we have left.
The experience for the monkeys was a little underwhelming.We waited in a room in the educational centre with planet earth playing on a dvd/tv. We were offered hot drinks and biscuits. The keeper came and walked us round the lemur/gibbon/marmoset enclosures talking about the animals.. The only problem was it didn't feel personal as general members of the public who hadn't paid for the experience kept latching on and listening. After speaking about the animals we were taken back to the educational centre for some sandwiches, drinks and cakes . the end ... i felt the experience offered nothing more than me standing by the enclosures myself and if any questions asking a near by keeper.

all in all the day was nice and i enjoyed walking around and taking photographs, all the staff on the day were friendly but unfortunately the monkey experience did not enhance the visit much.

Just back from a fab overnight stay at the zoo. We'd stayed in the Zebra apartment which was suitably stripy. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and we had a range of kids from 2 to 14 (plus a couple of big kids) great couple of days topped off by a private tour with a lovely ranger before the park opened and breakfast with the most beautiful tigers. Can't recommend enough was great fun

A very expensive day out and was not optimistic. Went with my two grandchildren aged 3 and 5 -they had a great time. Just enough to see and lots of energy consuming things to do. The children gained a lot of knowledge too. I was particularly impressed with the manners of the staff, young and old alike; very polite and pleasant to both the children and myself. Good system of paying on line which cut our waiting time down considerably. Took a picnic as food outlets were expensive.
Expensive but will return as a special treat.

Had to entertain two teenage grandchildren and this was ideal. Some wonderful animals - most of the big cats including rare white lions and a rare white tiger, plus cheetah, leopard and so on. Cute meerkats and mongoose which you can pay a huge amount of money to feed. Very informative panels on each compound. Regular talks when feeding time including tiger. Plenty of smaller mammals and birds. Lots of amusements and entertainments and rides for smaller kiddies. All in all, a pleasant surprise as after having seen zoos in China, I had said I'd never go to another one.Bags of parking and space even on Bank Holiday Sunday.

The park itself is good. A cross between an amusement park and a zoo. Neither of the elements are great but put together it keeps the kids very happy.

There are 2 major negatives;

1.Most of the activities require extra payment. At £70 for a family of 4 entry this is frankly not on. We spent a significant part of the day having to say "no". As any parent knows this is never fun.

2. There are a wide variety of people at the park, this is always good. However, having your child literally pushed to the floor twice whilst groups shoved there children to the front is simply not fun. Cultural differences are good, a basic lack of manners isn't.

In short, we enjoyed but wont be returning.

Visited Paradise Wildlife Park yesterday with my young children (aged 7 & 2); as we live locally, we've been 3 times over the past couple of years and the kids love the mixture of animals and play and always have a lot of fun. Don't really want to write any more about the attraction itself, but want to applaud the customer service and amazing customer care extended to us. During our visit yesterday, there was an incident involving another park guest - no fault of the park itself but we felt we should complete a comments card before leaving to ensure the park management were aware. Great handling of the situation at the time it was reported, followed up by a call from the park manager this evening, who couldn't be more apologetic. Always gives you confidence in an attraction when they take customer feedback so seriously and act upon it. First class - well done!

Been here lots with kids. They loved more when they were little. Once you have seen the animals there is not a lot more for them to do. You have to pay for the train ride. The food was not that great. Expensive for what it was. My daughter done a meerkat experience a few years back and she loved it. Don't go as often now the kids are getting older. 5&9.

Was very impressed with paradise wildlife park for my 2 year old son. Was plenty there for him to do. Could see all the animals close up and enjoyed feeding several different animals such as the reindeer,goats, ect. Very good value for money as included in the price is bouncy castles,view of the animals,sandpit with big block play area,kids entertainment,keeper talks and feeding,playgrounds.will defently go back again as my son really enjoyed himself there.

A good day out we took a four and seven year old and found there was plenty for all ages, staff helpful and knowledgeable all in all a good day out

The zoo is not huge, but has plenty of big cats. Their enclosures were not as big as I thought they needed to be, particularly the 4 lions sharing one enclosure. There were many play areas, bouncy castles and attractions for young children which we didn't use as our children were too old for these, therefore I felt it was an expensive day out for our family as we could only really look at the animals. Also you need to take a picnic as the food outlets are limited.

Spent a thoroughly enjoyable time at Paradise Park on a photography experience with a new camera. Was looked after by everyone really well - friendly, knowledgeable staff and two excellent photography guides with incredible knowledge of photography - found the continuous shooting mood enabling me to take some incredible shots. A well run family concern with lots for all ages.

I visited the the zoo with my hubby and three children. (Ages 6,8,10). We had a fantastic day as usual. Lots for the kids to do including a large playground and small train ride around the forest.
They also have a indoor cafe with soft play, great for if it rains.
The animals are beautiful and you can tell that they are well kept and looked after. The keepers clearly love them.
Five stars all round.
Even better that you can use your tesco clubcard vouchers too

Had an amazing day at Paradise Wildlife park. We went to "feed the Big Cats" This got us entry for the day so we had a wander around 1st. We watched another couple having an "experience" with the red pandas and it was great fun to watch. We met up with the trainer Ian and we got to choose which cat we wanted to spend more time with. I chose Bikal the white tiger. He was beautiful and so amazing to see up close! Being that close and feeding him was amazing and we got such great attention and information during the experience. I cant wait to book another as I know that the fee is use to help and support the animals and they take amazing care of all of them. Thanks for an awesome Birthday!

We went as two couples but this park is very well facilitated for families. Book in advance for a good discount. Plenty of hand washing facilities and opportunities to touch suitable animals. Nice to be able to buy proper freshly ground coffee at a reasonable price too.

Would really have liked to give an overall rating of very good but a few things let the park down Went with friends and we enjoyed the day there but it felt more like a playworld park with some animals rather than the other way round. Shame this park needs as many childrens facilities and play areas to attract families there rather than the animals being the main attraction and the focus being on conservation. The walkways are aplenty to be able to get a good view of the big cats and the other animals Some of the enclosures could do with being a little bigger but most of the animals looked content and all looked well cared for.The bats were great but would liked to have seen them in a more natural looking environment. Reptile house very good indeed.The woodland walk is pretty and it is lovely to see the deer, owls and foxes as you walk through. The birds and all the animals are wonderful (especially the tigers, lions etc) but it would have been nice to see more talks and feeding times going on during the day. Some of the staff looked a little fed up and it would have been nice to see them looking a little happier in there work even though we are sure they all do a really great job. The park is clean and tidy and the food at Sams diner was good at a reasonable price. Plenty of places in the park to get refreshments, parking good too. Really surprised to see a bar selling alcohol though resulting in a small group walking round the park partly drunk carrying booze around with them of which one of them was acting ridiculously around the animals and spitting on the floor! Are there no rules and regulations in the park at all? Surely it is the responsibility of the management that certain behavour will not be tolerated in the best interests and welfare of the animals and other people visiting the park...such a shame! On the whole though a lovely day out despite the negatives

It was a good day out but it was very hard to steer my 8yr old away from everything that cost more money.

We have been to this zoo many times with our grandchildren and have never failed to enjoy it. The parking is good and there are places to eat inside the park which are adequate for lunches etc. The animals are well looked after and kept in good conditions. I can recommend this little gem for the family.

Have been going to Paradise Wildlife Park for many years now and every time we go there is always something new to see. The staff are very informative and helpful and the animals have large enclosures that continue to be refreshed for the animals enrichment. For the youngsters there are plenty of things to do from crazy golf, go karts, an indoor climbing area to just simply sitting on a swing, running around in the paddling pool or taking a ride on the miniature railway. Look out on the notice boards for the daily events such as feed times, bird shows and keeper talks. The food is good and not too expensive. I suggest you buy the tickets on line for discounts and like their Facebook page as they often give out discount codes and advise of upcoming events, there are also great pictures from visitors of the animals. You can use Tesco Clubcard points to get vouchers for tickets, this I find is the best and cheapest way.
