Drusillas Park
Drusillas Park is widely regarded as the best small zoo in the country and offers visitors the opportunity to get nose to nose with nature.
There are hundreds of exotic animals from monkeys and crocodiles to penguins and meerkats.
But animals are only half the fun: Go Wild! Go Bananas! Amazon Adventure and Eden's Eye Maze are paradise for anyone who needs to let off steam, and Thomas the Tank engine offers a train service 362 days a year.
Don’t forget to get up close to the lemurs in the walk-through enclosure - Lemurland or feed nectar to the rainbow lorikeets in the new walk-through parrot aviary - Lory Landing. It’s no wonder Drusillas have been voted South East England’s number one attraction and the best day out in East Sussex.
Choose from Explorers' Restaurant offering a choice of hot meals (including at least one vegetarian), jacket potatoes, salad bar, children's menu, baby food, ice cream, cakes, ice creams, coffees and teas or Oasis Cafe providing good quality fast food including burgers, nuggets, jacket potatoes, salads, hot dogs, ice creams, coffees and teas. Both outlets provide children's lunch boxes and both have been awarded "Only the Best" designation by Wealden District Council for excellence in food safety.

Five shops on site including the biggest range of Thomas and Friends merchandise from The Really Useful Gift Shop. Mungo's Trading Post sells pocket money souvenirs whilst Teddy's Jungle Safari sells a massive range of cuddly toys. And for those with a sweet tooth don't miss Candyland.
