Brilliant park. It's in 2 sections, so animals are on one side and the Dino park/woodland on the other. The place is very accessible. Loads of different play areas/soft play. Lots of places to eat, plenty of toilets everywhere.
We had burger and chips in the Safari diner (a bit quieter at 2pm)and it was really good. Order at the bar, then wait for your buzzer to go off to collect. The adults menu is a bit expensive, but kids were good value. The snacks in Tumble Jungle were fresh and good value. There are plenty of tables chairs and sofas in there while the kids play.
We did the golf (£2 each) and it was quite good. Easy to lose the ball though! Lovely pool/beach area. The water is very cold, so it's only good on a hot day, but you can really relax there.
World of Dinosaurs was definitely worth seeing even if you are not into dino's. There was a good digging for the bones area for the kids.
The zoo was really good and lots of brilliant viewing areas (the best viewing zoo I have been to). There are low windows for little ones, platforms, walk-ins, etc meaning people are spread around and not having to wait for a clear space.
There are a number of free car parks. We arrived at 10:30 and were directed to car park 3. There is a discount for Blue Light card holders. Need to buy everyone else's tickets online, then the blue light ticket holder pays when they get there.

It is expensive for what it is.
"Meet the dinosaur" appeared to be a hastily arranged lame puppet bought from the gift shop with a tablecloth draped over it.
Nearly £80 for a family ticket and you are still expected to pay a further £8 to enjoy the 3 minute train ride.
There are better dinosaur parks out there!

We had a lovely day at Paradise Wildlife Park. Our daughter is 7 and we felt that it was perfect for her age. Our 14 year old didn’t come and I think would have been too old for it. The animal enclosures are great, lots of play areas for the kids, great food options, dinosaurs are great, beach area an extra bonus and really reasonably priced! I honestly couldn’t fault the day, which says a lot coming from me! 😂 a really lovely day out. Not too big or small, just perfect for this age group. Only thing I’m gutted about is that we ate in the main area, which was nice, but wished I done my research in advance as there is a Chinese outlet by the tiger enclosure that looked and smelled delicious! am now enjoying watching the TV programme One Zoo Three and seeing what goes on behind the scenes. I would highly recommend this for a day out.

Had a lovely Tickle a Tapir experience yesterday and I'm still smiling. What beautiful gentle creatures. Keeper Emily was lovely and very knowledgeable, and the rest of the zoo is an absolute pleasure to visit. The animals are clean and happy and the enclosures large with plenty of enrichment. A fantastic place.Visited on

Good day out. Dinosaurs was great especially with sounds and movement.
The zoo is small but we didn't get to see all animals as most areas were closed off which is disappointing as its not cheap to visit
Recommended for all ages and nice touch if you want to hand feed a tiger!! (At extra cost)

I would recommend the park to anyone of any age, but particularly to families with children under ten. I went with my son and daughter in law and my two grandchildren. We all had a fantastic day.....and we are veterans of many days out. Starting at about 10 am, we had time to see everything on our to-see list before we were all tired outcast five.
There are plenty of animals to see, and although there are not as many as at other zoos, we were able to have clear sight of all of them, and they all seemed tranquil and well cared for in lovely surroundings. We loved the lions! The dinosaur exhibit was the early highlight of the day, well laid out and truly impressive. Our three-year-old was beside himself with happiness. His older sister, who had been terrified by a smaller display, was delighted to see the dinosaurs in their 'natural habitat' 😄 The £2 fare for the little train was well worth it for the little ones. It's also worth noting that the small ride ons were all free and there were adult/child toilet seats in the ample conveniences.
Our lunch was tasty and economical, for example, beanburger and chips (more than I could eat) was £8.50.
There are various options for snacking and children's play areas dotted around. We were too tired for the beach in the end!

Our young grandchildren had free entry with their Blue Peter badges and we joined them for the day. An excellent day out for everyone, starting with the extensive woodland area with a large number of dinosaurs that moved and roared . Very well managed and displayed . Then on to the wide variety of animals in outdoor and indoor spaces.
Everything was clean and well displayed and the park was full of families having a day out and all well behaved because there was so much to see and do to keep everyone fully occupied. Lots of varied play areas and activities for children, a good selection of cafes , ice cream outlets and more.
I did not know what to expect but was impressed with the whole experience and would happily recommend it as a family day out.

My first trip to PWP and what a good impression it made! I went with my daughter and two grandchildren 9 and 2.
First stop was the dinosaurs; excellent animatronics which really helped bring them ‘to life’. Even the 9 year old was impressed!
Across the road and on to the animals. Everywhere we went, the animals all looked cared for and in great condition. Such a variety, from pygmy tamarins and marmosets to mighty lions and tigers.
Had lunch at the Sun Bear Bakery, I had a tasty cheese and ham toastie and a cup of tea whilst the others had pizzadillas (tortillas with pizza cheese and tomato topping folded over), two cans of still water and two cans of Diet Coke. Cost £21
When we left the tigers, we walked past the Bamboo Kitchen and the smells made my mouth water, looked delicious but we came across it too late!
Round the rest of the animals and then back over the road intending to have an ice cream and then home. Here we discovered a hidden gem, the Splashpool! We took our ice creams and sat round the pool but the 9 year old was so upset that she couldn’t go in!! Next time I’ll make sure she has shorts in the bag she can change in to and get wet!
All in all, we had a great day and will definitely return.

Had the most amazing family day out here today!! This was our first time here and it won't be our last!! Paradise Wildlife Park is perhaps the best thought out Zoo experience I've ever had and it's a breath of fresh air going to a place that's not too sprawling like London Zoo or excessively busy like other entertainment parks. The animals all seem to be happy with their enclosures, everything is clean and tidy, staff are all helpful and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The dinosaur experience was especially memorable and even at age 40, I'm excited to see it again! The kids definitely loved it!! There is a good selection of animals to see and the enclosures are designed with viewing in mind so you're able to get close enough and elevated vantage points are very useful. One highlight today was looking down at the leopard enclosure and seeing one a few feet away from me!

What an amazing place fantastic day out. My boy loved the dinosaurs' great variety of animals, and the enclosures are designed really well. The only thing that would make this place better was if they made it bigger because they have done a fantastic job with the space they already have. Great zooVisited on
