Another lovely event at Paradise Wildlife Park. The After Dark Dinos evening was a hit with the little ones getting their photos taken with the ‘dinosaurs’, having their faces painted, playing miniature golf (for a small additional fee), and walking round the dinosaurs, which felt more realistic at night. The silent disco with inflatable dinosaurs and glow puppet show at the end topped off the evening.

We won a tour of paradise park earlier in the year and decided to use the voucher this half term. Booking was made very easy. When we arrived we were well looked after in the discovery centre. However the star was definitely Simon! I can not praise this man enough. He was very enthusiastic and passionate about the animals and was incredible with my two young daughters. He showed us around the park and we got a chance to hold/feed some animals. Simon along the way was very polite and provided great educational points along with a warm manor with my 4 year old. The food was actually really good compared to most other parks/zoos we have visited. There was a lot of attractions for the whole family. And we would definitely revisit. Thank you paradise park and a bigger thank you to Simon.

An incredible zoo with wonderful enrichment for the animals and really cleverly constructed enclosures and walk ways to view the animals discretely from many different aspects. There’s also a couple of play parks and a great dinosaur park to walk round. We filled 5 hours easily and that only included one of the keeper talks that happen every half an hour. There’s even a soft play if it’s wet for no extra cost. My 4 year old and seven year old had a fantastic day! Lunch in the diner was quick and reasonable priced for a captive audience. If we lived nearby I would definitely buy membership.

Wow…what an incredible place to visit!! The range of animals is fantastic, and everywhere you turn there is another little area to explore! Everyone is so friendly and happy all the time! The animals and their enclosures were wonderful, and you can tell that the owners really think about giving their animals the best environments possible. We visited during half term, and it wasn’t too busy at all! In fact, it was dressed up beautifully for Halloween. Come out with pumpkins everywhere and lots of themed activities to do. We had the pleasure of going in the dinosaur land, which was incredible! It was really atmospheric and engaging for both children and adults. And along the way, there were lots of opportunities to get great photos to! We were really lucky, that on our trip we just happened to bump into two of the brothers from one, zoo three (our daughters favourite show), and they were so humble and approachable and talked to us about their plans for the wildlife Park over the next 5 to 10 years, and even took the time to talk to our daughter, which was a real hit! There are so many little parks, mini golf, cafes (reasonably priced too) as well as brilliant talks from the staff and entertainment shows. All in all, I would recommend everyone to go to this wildlife park…it’s fantastic!

Been going here since I was a child, great day overall but the dinosaur section is a bit out of control. The dinosaur noises are unbearably loud and annoying and the poor animals in the woodland section (reindeer, deer, foxes, wolves) have to listen to that all day every day. If the zoo is interested in being ethical it should turn these sounds right down or carry out some other interventions to block the noise for the poor things.

Nice zoo, very big. I believe I got 20k steps that day (10k at paradise wildlife park and 10k at the local river lee country park). It can get busy in some places such as the reptile place (which was hot). There are places for children to play. Overall a great day out

I took my daughter to PWP to meet the Lemurs experience today. What a wonderful day she had and this was her Christmas gift - she had such a lovely day. All the staff were so friendly & helpful. The food and drink was so good and great value - I am vegetarian and the choice was fab. The animals were happy, well looked after and cared for. The enclosures were spacious and modern, there was plenty of enrichment. Fantastic day out 10/10

We had a fantastic time at the Paradise Wildlife Park. We were impressed not only by the array of animals, but how well looked after they were. In addition to this, the enclosures were spacious and well-constructed, offering not only different vantage points from different levels, but good vantage points. We went to three of the talks during the day and all of the staff delivering these did so with professionalism and an abundance of knowledge. They were happy to answer our questions after their talks as well. There were a couple of animals that we went to see where we got talking to keepers. Although not official 'talks' they were more than happy to provide us with information. It was a day out that was pleasurable for two adults 70+, two adults 40+ and two children. We would definitely recommend and the park will only get better after the refurbishment and rebranding as Hertfordshire Zoo in 2024. We will be returning!

BEST GROTTO EXPERIENCE! Thank you to the elves who chatted to my children whilst waiting and gave them a sticker, the wait wasn’t bad and considering it’s free I was surprised at how quickly we got through the queue. The Father Christmas was incredible- so patient and kind and it felt like he really listened to every word the children were saying and he gave really great responses. The children were chuffed with their grotto gifts. We come to the park often in the year but this was the first time we came over Christmas and we will definitely be coming back again. Thank you

A wonderful place to visit any time of year. Easy free parking and plenty of access for non able bodied visitors. The added dinosaur adventure is included in the price and the Starbucks coffee with tumble jungle area is the perfect place to take a break while the kids play. During the summer months there is a splash pool area that is simply brilliant for the young kids and if it’s really hot, dipping your feet in to cool down. Value for money and plenty to do for a whole day out with the family
