Very happy with zoo part, but not happy at all with the amount of activities placed around the picnic area which all have to be paid for on top of the entrance fee! yes it is on the website some things are extra, but to have pretty much all these things placed around the picnic area where the management know...

Having seen numerous posters along the road advertising "Every day is Thomas day" we thought we'd take our daughter there. However, having parted with a small fortune, it turned out it really is just a zoo with a Thomas train that goes around the back of the park. Refund please! And misleading advertising too. My daughter finds the Thomas train... More

We are slightly dubious about this report as it is very clear from our website, all our advertising and our main brochure that first and foremost we are a zoo – and have been since the 1930’s. The first line of text in our brochure reads “Widely regarded as the best small zoo in the country we’ve created an animal... More

Took my 2 year old son here in may 2012. He loved looking at all the animals and thought it was great walking through lemur land with the lemurs wandering around freely. He loved the Thomas tank engine ride and went on this several times. Other attractions did cost but were not overly expensive. Did not eat at the food... More

My wife & I spent a delightful three hours or so with our daughter and her two sons (toddlers) - one of the best designed sites we've visited. Great balance between animal spotting and activities at the end of which, the kiddies still have loads of energy left to go on the excellent climbing frames and slides. Carpark three quarters...

My 6 year old daughter was a zoo keeper for the day at Drusillas. It was expensive but I saved all her birthday and christmas money so instead of loads more plastic toys she had the most wonderful experience of her life. As she was under 10 i got to go with her and get involved too, which was awesome... More

Excellent value for money. Loads to do. I took my 2 toddlers and they both loved it. A wide variety of animals to see. Lovely enclosures! There is a great indoor soft play for different ages and an awesome large outdoor play area. There are different food outlets which offer a good variety of food. They have a couple of... More

My 7 year old daughter has just been a zoo keeper for the day at Drusilla's at Alfriston. She had a fantastic time. The zoo keeper (Katie) was brilliant with her and took the time to answer all her questions and made her feel very special indeed. She hasn't stopped talking about it and it's been 2 weeks since she... More

For the second year running (2011 & 2012) my eleven year old daughter Charlotte has been lucky enough to be keeper for the day at Drusillas Park, Alfriston. Charlotte is a huge lover of all kinds of animals so this experience has allowed her to get close to animals she wouldn't normally have the opportunity to. Charlotte hopes to return... More

Drusilla's Park is our son's favourite place (and he has seen a few theme parks including Drayton Manor, Chessington World, Woburn Safari Park). Drusilla's is just the best. It has everything kids enjoy - animals (so many different monkeys!) , Thomas ride and various characters from Thomas , softplay and big outdoor play areas. The zoo part is very nicely... More
