Paradise Wildlife Park

Paradise Wildlife Park is voted Hertfordshire’s No.1 Outdoor Attraction by Trip Advisor and set in the beautiful surrounding of Broxbourne Woods in the heart of the Hertfordshire Countryside.

Paradise is home to over 800 exotic wild animals including one of the best big cat collections in the country with a pride of white lions, tigers, jaguars & snow leopards as well as also being home to and caring for endangered species such as red pandas, gibbons, lemurs, penguins, small monkeys like our pygmy marmoset who have just had their second baby, camels, zebra, otters and reptiles, including the largest anaconda in the UK.

Paradise is also Europe’s leading wildlife park for exotic animal experiences, you can do everything from meeting our Meerkats, tickle our tapirs, hand-feed our red pandas to shadowing a keeper and hand-feeding a big cat. Funds raised from these animal experiences go directly to the conservation & welfare of the animals in our care and in the wild.

We have recently completed a brand-new tiger habitat: ’Land of the tigers’ with underwater viewing, the first of its kind in the UK. The tigers’ new home is also the first big cat mixed habitat, an assortment of beautiful fish within the pool presents another first for the UK.

New for summer 2021, we are pleased to introduce ‘Summer Evenings in Paradise’. This is a glorious after-hours event at the park that allows you to see the zoo in a whole new light – literally! Enjoy a relaxing evening at Hertfordshire’s no.1 Zoo with friends and family this summer. Take in the stunning backdrop of Paradise Wildlife Park where you can see our amazing animals settle down for the end of the day.  Watch the sunset behind our majestic Lions or even our t-rex in our World of Dinosaurs. These evenings will offer you a unique experience to see the animals in a different light.

There will be something for everyone from delicious food and Pimm’s to some tasty Carte d’Or ice creams! We will be offering a vast variety of entertainment across the evenings with African drummers, acoustic sets, wildlife stilt walkers, face painting, plus tonnes of photo opportunities for you to keep as memories of a great evening.
