Days out in Paradise (Wildlife Park)

A couple of weeks ago Days Out treated us to a day at Paradise Wildlife Park. And what a day it was. Paradise Wildlife park has it all. Whatever the age or needs of your children there is something for everyone. 

As you'd expect from a wildlife park there are a huge amount of animals for the kids to see. Some you can get up close and personal to and some you can even feed yourself. There are shows and 'meet the keeper' talks, which are a brilliant way of gaining better knowledge about the animals you see in a fun way. 

What you may not expect however is the fantastic entertainment show. The Karizma Kidz were a huge hit with my daughter, well the girl one was anyway! The standard of entertainment was on par with what you'd expect from Butlins, and we all know how much the kids adore that sort of stuff.

There are so many play areas available, inside and out, that I challenge anyone to come here and be bored, whatever the weather you'll have plenty to do. 

Even though the place is big with so many different things going on, it still maintains that personal touch, maybe because it's a family-run park, owned by the Sampson family since 1984. When my blogging buddy Katy from Modern Mummy asked if her daughter could go and handle a spider (I think it may have been a tarantula - eek) , they were more than happy to accommodate.

I never fail to appreciate beautiful flowers these days, it must be an age thing.

There are even bouncy castles and inflatable slides for the children to let off steam on, at no extra cost.

We were front row spectators to a wonderful training display. 

It is also well set up for families who have any physical challenges with a separate play area adapted for wheelchair users. 

I haven't even scratched the surface of things you can do at Paradise Wildlife Park with this post, I recommend you allow a whole day to explore when you visit. 

We were invited to this day courtesy of Days Out who offer a huge array of discounted days out in the UK, it's a great website to find out what's on in your area and the whole of the UK. Have a look at their website and I would love to hear your thoughts on any of the other attractions that you think we ought to try next.
