Drusillas Park

It's funny really to think of Drusilla's as a zoo as there's no big cats and such. Still maybe that adds to its' appeal to youngsters as there isn't anything too scary! It's not just about the animals, though, at Drusilla's; there's a lot else. There's the Thomas train, which is really good as the level of detail and size is what children expect of the 'real' Thomas, you also get too see a lot of other characters such as Cranky on the way too. There's a big playground and crazy golf too. Another thing about Drusilla's is that they have character days or special exhibitions almost every week throughout the year and as these are included in the ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday my children and I had one of the best days of the summer holidays, we went to Drusillas park with my sister and her little boy and we all had a brilliant time -here is my review based on my visit yesterday (25/08/09). What is Drusillas park? - It is a small Zoo, playground, soft play area, splash park, farm, train ride and fun fair all rolled into one. I will go into more detail of each area of the park further down the page. It is suitable for children of all ages although I would say younger children aged 2-8 would enjoy most of the facilities to the full. The Entrance - There is a large car park at the entrance of Drusillas, this ...  Read the complete review

Drusillas Park is a small zoo in East Sussex. It is situated just off the A27 near Alfriston, and is about seven miles from Eastbourne and twelve miles from Brighton. It is easy to get to by car, but not so easy by public transport.

The animals are all small to medium sized, so you will not see lions, giraffes or elephants here. I have been to Drusillas twice, both in the Summer and Autumn, and with toddlers and a nine year old. The Zoo is very child friendly and safe, and is ...  Read the complete review

Well I cannot praise this little zoo enough. It is a wonderful day out for adults and kids alike. We have taken several children to this zoo, at all different ages and it is very interesting to see them go back each year, and find something different that they are interested in. It is a 'learning' zoo I would say, and the keepers (who are always around) are a font of knowledge. It is perfectly designed and everything is at a level the kids can reach. There are lots of encouraging things for the kids to do as they go around (a zoo olympics, and stamping a free book for certain animals you see). When you have finished visiting the wonderful zoo part, which is fun ...  Read the complete review

Toby has just celebrated his 2nd Birthday, and as a treat, my husband and I took him to Drusillas Park. Drusillas is based in Alfriston, East Sussex. It is located just off the A27, so you can't miss it. Once you have parked up and head to the entrance, you need to queue up in the correct line; one is for members, the other day visitors. A word of warning though: the prices do seem very steep, depending what day you go will depend on which rate you pay. You can check the website before going to see how much it will cost you, as prices do vary, depending on whether it is an off peak day, standard day or peak day. Under 2s are ...  Read the complete review
