#Gifted /#Review
The kiddies did all sorts of fun things over the summer holidays. We had planned to go to Paradise Wildlife Park from last year but due to various illnesses, this had idea was regretfully abandoned. Thankfully, not for long though. As I watched Jurassic Park with my son it dawned on me that the Wildlife Park now had dinosaurs.
I know, how cool!!!
On our way, we met a baby dinosaur.
Dinosaur Attraction
Not the genetically engineered kind of dinosaurs preparing to break free and go on a rampage thankfully. The World of Dinosaurs is one of the UK’s biggest dinosaur attractions. This is set in gorgeous natural woodland. It features 30 life-size, moving and roaring dinosaurs!
Of course, my son couldn’t wait to go and see them. He did cautiously ask if they were real before we got there which was really cute. What was even better was the look on his face when he saw the dinosaurs. They were pretty lifelike for an almost 5 year old and he had a fabulous time skipping from one dinosaur to the next.
The entrance to the dinosaur section was fantastic! It really added to the children’s excitement about going in to see the dinosaurs.
The dinosaurs are in a lovely setting surrounded by greenery and also you’ll find one in a pond too!!!!
Follow the path and you’ll see numerous animatronic dinosaurs each with its own sounds and movement.
OMG, a carnivore!!!
These guys look hungry!!!
Apparently, it was after his skittles!
Watch out for the T-Rex
It’s not just dinosaurs that you will find at the Wildlife Park. There are numerous different animals to see from lions and tigers, zebras and camels, sloths and otters, monkeys and snakes, birds, farm animals and more.
Wildlife Park
Where do I start. There is a surprisingly large amount to do here. It’s really easy to spend the whole day here. The kids were totally up for coming back the following day which showed me just how much they loved it. The animal selection is great too. We all love the super cute otters and learnt that many are kept as pets in Asia and their numbers are depleting.
The penguins were very popular and the children enjoyed watching them walk about together.
There are designated areas for each group of animals. The children couldn’t wait to see them all and who could blame them.
Although the kids all love different animals the park had something for everyone. From the cute and cuddly to those a little scarier.
Zebras
Who doesn’t love zebras. The kids were excited to see them, and so was I. It’s great you can get so close to the animals.
Meerkats
These guys were super cute and seemed to like having an audience. They would run around, snuggle with each other and pose for pictures. In fact, they seemed to be better at posing for pictures than my children.
Camels
Of course, we had to make sure we paid them a visit. We didn’t want them to get the hump!
White Lions
These majestic creatures are enormous and you can get extremely close to them without them having you as a snack. The children were fascinated by them. I couldn’t help but think of the Lion King and Simba being presented on Pride Rock when I saw them lounging in the sun.

Play Areas
We also discovered some fantastic play areas. Play areas can be found dotted around the park. The play areas were great fun. Naturally, the children’s faces were beaming when we discovered them.
Restaurants and Snack Outlets
There are numerous places that you can buy food. Whether you need a meal, doughnuts, ice cream etc. they have everything covered. The freshly made cinnamon doughnuts went down well with the kids.
Animal Experiences
You’ll also discover that Paradise Wildlife Park has some lovely animal experiences including a Tiger tea (afternoon tea with the tigers), jungle sleepover and zookeeping experience which all sound like great fun.
What did we think?
We loved our visit to Paradise Wildlife Park. The kids had such a wonderful time. They loved seeing the animals, playing in the play areas and can’t wait to go back. We could have easily spent the week there and they’d still be asking to go back. We plan to try and visit the Paradise Lagoon Paddling Pool at some time and maybe even try the safari adventure golf.
After the most amazing day, the kids were and I were exhausted.
Take a peek at our fun day out:

Whooa! I’m actually amazed! So dinosaurs are still existing? I would love to visit this wildlife park: for a moment, I thought those were statues but it’s shocking to learn that they are real. The kids must have had fun seeing the animals live, even the tiger!
Ha, it looks that way. The animatronic dinosaurs were great. The kids loved seeing the tiger and all the other animals especially the meerkats.
Paradise Wildlife Park is one of my favourite places to visit with the family. It looks like you had a great time.

How have I never heard of this place before? It looks like such a fun day out, especially as I currently have a tiny dinosaur mad boy who would adore this! 🙂
It sounds like this would be perfect for your dinosaur mad boy Emma.

We did take loads of pictures didn’t we. It made some wonderful memories for us all.
We went to Paradise Wildlife Park earlier this year and had such a nice time seeing all the animals. The white lions were a particular favourite of ours as well x
The white lions were amazing!!! They’re sooooo big.
Sounds like a great family friendly attraction and fun day out. Amazing that there is so much to see and do there.
I know, there was so much to do I don’t think we managed it all.
What a great day out. I haven’t been to this wildllife park but know my kids would love it….that’s a great number of play areas dotted around too.
The play areas were great. We mixed it up by seeing animals and doing those too.
I am so jealous. It looks like you all had a blast at the Paradise Wildlife Park – so many exciting things to see and do.

The wildlife park is really good fun. It’s amazing how much is packed into this place to see and do.
What a terrific experience and outing! I would be impressed by those animated dinosaurs too as they seem so real in the photos. Are all the animals in that wildlife park animatronics or just the dinos?
Hi Liz. Just the dinosaurs. The rest are all real 🙂
Wow so much to see and do here it looks like you all had such a brilliant time. Perfect for a dinosaur lover too!
I’ve wanted to go here for soooo long it looks like such a great day! The dinosaur section looks right up my street!
