Hertfordshire Zoo (Previously Paradise Wildlife Park)

Why not explore ‘Sun Bear Heights’ and ‘Jaguar Jungle’ and let the kids go wild in the soft play area, Tumble Jungle? The whole family could enjoy a game of Safari Crazy Golf or simply relax and watch the big cats. The wonder of wildlife is waiting!

The Animals

Paradise Wildlife Park has a whole range of animals to discover! From Snow Leopards, White Lion Pride and Jaguars to Sun Bear, grey wolves, European wolves and camels. If you love monkeys and primates, then head to the Rainforest area where you can check out the Golden Lion Tamarins, Lar Gibbons, Black Lemurs and more, as they frolic around in their natural habitat.

After visiting the weird and wonderful creatures in the animal kingdom, pop along and go 'awww' at all the species of farmyard animals Paradise Wildlife Park has! From braying donkeys to fluffy sheep, guinea pigs, pigs, goats, ferrets and more!

There’s plenty of amazing wildlife to see at the Park. Not to mention all the adorable residents, including penguins, red pandas, lemurs, meerkats, camels, zebras and sloths.

Animal Park Experiences

Paradise is also Europe’s leading wildlife park for animal experiences where visitors can meet mischievous meerkats in a Meet the Meerkat experience and hand feed one of the white lions in the Big Cat Experience. All the funds raised from these animal experiences go directly to the conservation and welfare of the animals in the zoo's care and in the wild. Why not plan a visit - the wonder of wildlife is waiting for you!

Choose from over 20 animal experiences, plus over 10 amazing keeper talks & feeds a day and more, you’ll be spoilt for choice. You’ll have plenty of reasons to come back for more! And you'll learn more about Paradise Park's focus on conservation and their conservation efforts.
