Park is well kept, fun-filled and very nice. My visit was to meet the meerkats and i was not disappointed. The staff are polite and friendly and the park is very security conscious as regards childrens safety.
The meerkat experience is one i will never forget,

We went on the Tea with Tigers Experience, which was great. Ricky our guide was very informative and all the cats are well looked after. Not quite as up close and personal as I thought we would be with the animals but you can get pretty close and it is all very safe.
The conservation work they do at Paradise is fantastic.
Would recommend doing one of the experiences they have to offer, but some are not suitable for young children.
This is a brilliant place to take young children, I would imagine there is enough to keep them occupied for a whole day.

This is a fantastic place to visit. Everyone was very friendly to us. Especially the mini bus driver, he was lovely. U can get catch a mini bus from Broxbourne station. We got a train from Liverpool Street Station in London. It isn't a huge place but its packed with very interesting animals. My favourite were the white lions and white tigers. I have never seen these before (only in pictures). Evert animal i saw was happy and healthy. We also had lunch with the tigers which was very lovely too. They have so many different animals - snow leopards, tigers, lions, cheetah, racoons, monkeys, zebras, tapirs, wolves, meerkats, rabbits, goats, red pandas and so many more. The thing i was amazed about the most was how clean and tidy the place was. I just can't wait to return again. Their also a beautiful area for children to play in. It also has a large car park too. If you like animals this is defo the place to visit and its very children friendly too. Watch out for the little black cat. It's so cute.

Althouh the paradise wildlife partk isn't large you can get very close to the animals which is amazing. The various feeding times give you the opportunity to see some of the more 'shy' animals and the snow leopard is a site to behold. Highly recommend a visit.

We have visited this zoo many times over the years and have many fond memories of being there. Significantly smaller than, say, London (Regents Park) Zoo, it is probably the perfect sized place to visit if you're not looking to spend the whole day there.
Restaurant and Shop are both a good size, and there is a good children's play area, offset from the restaurant and picnic area. Being able to hand-feed some of the animals is a nice touch.
As with all Zoos, I worry a little that some of the pens may not be large enough...

We visited the park during jubilee weekend when the park was busy but still not too crowded and it was comfortable to walk around.
Overall we had a nice day because our 3 year old son had so much fun - he loved the animals, playgrounds, train and tractor rides and shows
.
However it was so upsetting for us to see some of the animals in really small enclosures. We have visited other animals parks and this was the worst we have seen. Personally for this reason I would not visit this park again. It was just too heartbreaking to look.
Other points:
Staff was very nice and friendly everywhere around the park
place was not very clean (especially toilets)
not many sinks or hand sanitizer around to clean your hands after feeding/touching animals - many of hand sanitizer were empty on the day
food was average

My family and visited Paradise Park for an 'Ideal Day'. Tom C was our guide and he had such a vast knowledge of all of the animals, not just the ones he specialised in. He gave us all the background o the animals we saw and how long they had been at the park. I did hear people complaining about the size of the leopard enclosure. The leopard had been aquired from a private collector that had passed away. The leopard would have been in a smaller enclosure and therefore would be nervous about so much space straight away, the closure has recently been highered and they are teaching 'Sheena' to climb. This will gradually get bigger as time goes on. ALL the animals are in great condition and if the other keepers are anything like Tom was then I imagine they are truely loved. I fully reccomend one of the tours to get the 'real' stories behind the animals, breeding plans and rescue stories. I will definately be returning to support this family run park and all of their residents!!

Food cost a fortune and not too much to do if its raining. This place appears to be all about making a profit. the animals are limited and the `experiences` are pricey.
Location was poorly sign posted and difficult to get to through lots of narrow country lanes.
The one redeeming feature was the white tigers. A rare and beautiful sight!
