Attraction Information

Hertfordshire Zoo formerly Paradise Wildlife Park is voted ‘Hertfordshire’s No.1 Outdoor Attraction’ by Trip Advisor and is set in the beautiful surroundings of Broxbourne Woods, in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside.

Things To Do

The zoo houses over 800 exotic wild animals, from the biggest tiger species, Amur tigers, to the world’s smallest known monkey the pygmy marmoset! Paradise exhibits the largest green anaconda on display in the UK and holds one of the best big cat collections in the country inside the ‘World of Animals’.


You can also meet some life-size animatronic dinosaurs at the incredible ‘World of Dinosaurs’ featuring over 40 life-size, moving, and roaring dinosaurs – a real thrill for any dinosaur adventurer!

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.

World Of Dinosaurs

Are you looking for a roarsome time for your next family day out? Look no further! At Wildlife Paradise Park you can travel back to the prehistoric era and walk among the dinosaurs. Not real of course...

BUT there are 40 life-sized animatronic dinosaur attractions here! From the towering Brachiosaurus to the spine-chilling Spinosaurus. Not forgetting the terrifying T-Rex and plenty more dinosaur experiences! And for those dinosaur fans, there's also a Rex Express dinosaur train ride that travels through the World of Dinosaurs with twists and turns around every corner!

Children's Play Areas

Your kiddies can also become animals here, whether they want to climb like monkeys, slide like penguins on the Rainbow slide or just let some steam off on the adventure indoor and outdoor areas!

Food & Drink

Need a pick-me-up to satisfy those growling tummies? Head to Grace's Coffee for hot and cold drinks and tasty snacks!

For memories that last, visitors can have a family meal with a tiger view in Bamboo Kitchen, situated at the Land of the Tigers or choose to have a fast-food adventure in the Safari Diner.
