Advantages: Playgrounds and free rides

Disadvantages: Pricey, Crowds

First of all I am not a huge fan of Theme / Wildlife parks , but last week I made an exception and I visited Paradise Wildlife Park. Park is situated just off the junction 25 ( M25 motorway) and is easy to find. I visited park last thursday to avoid crowds - unfortunately park is very busy at all times / days. Park is open all year (except Christmas day) from 9.30 - 6.00 (summer) or from 10.00 - 5.00 (winter).
They have reasonable prices compared to other zoos. Family ticket costs 48.00 (price for 2 adults and 2 children) but they offer concessions and season tickets as well. They offer feeding experience and adoption certificates at extra charge. Majority of attractions is free, you will pay separately for : Panning for gold, Krazy Sands, Train Rides etc. Surprisingly two bouncy castles, roundabout and large slide were free to use! One large playground and Blue lagoon ( paddling pool with small slide) are situated within walking distance to the entrance and are free to use as well.
Amountr of animals did not impress me and my family - i remember all of them! My son could feed some of them - farmyard animals, reindeers etc. You can meet some endangered species including african lions, red pandas and others.
I think it is a great park for whole family. They have excellent facilities ( all toilets have disabled access and baby facilities), several food outles with ice cream, hot-dog, BBQ, large bistro, cafe and number of picnic areas - you can eat your lunch watching birds flying display ( Bird presentation area)! A fantastic day out with loads of play areas for all children and nice areas to relax for adults,too.

Summary: One of my favourite wildlife parks
