Our visit was nothing short of extraordinary!

Google Review July 2024

Our visit to Paradise Park and JungleBarn in Cornwall was nothing short of extraordinary! This place is a true gem for both adults and children, offering a perfect blend of nature, fun, and education.

The bird sanctuary is breathtaking, with a wide variety of exotic and local species. Watching the colorful parrots, flamingos, and the impressive Birds of Prey display was both entertaining and educational. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating facts about the birds and their conservation efforts.

The JungleBarn indoor play area was an absolute hit with the kids. They loved the multi-level play zones, slides, and soft play areas, while we appreciated the clean, safe environment and the comfortable seating area for parents. It’s the perfect place for kids to burn off energy, rain or shine.

We were also impressed with the well-maintained grounds, the variety of animals, and the informative displays throughout the park. The feeding sessions and interactive talks were highlights of our day. The café offered delicious food with plenty of options, and the gift shop had a wonderful selection of souvenirs.

Paradise Park and JungleBarn exceeded all our expectations. It’s a fantastic day out for families, blending adventure, learning, and fun in a beautiful setting. We can’t wait to visit again and create more wonderful memories. Highly recommend!

I will be returning without a doubt

Google Review July 2024

10/10 recommend many different varieties of birds and very informative. The shows they do are very entertaining and I really like how they don’t force the birds to do anything that they don’t want to do and don’t discipline the birds when they don’t do something. Amazing day out for all the family. Reasonable prices for food and drink and amazing worker that are very pleasant. This place is also completely wheelchair friendly which is amazing. I will be returning without a doubt as this is one of the best places I have visited whilst being around here.

Packed a big entertainment punch

Tripadvisor Review July 2024

BEST BARGIN DAY OUT IN CORNWALL
Three generations of our family visited. Despite it being July the weather was awful but we still had a fabulous time. The bird show was very funny and despite being a small park it packed a big entertainment punch.Special thanks to Lewis who was happy to answer all our questions. Best bargain on our trip to Cornwall.

What a fantastic place. Don’t be put off by the price or other reviews. It’s worth every penny. The flying shows are brilliant , the gardens beautiful and the birds really well looked after.
The jungle barn is good fun for everyone and very clean
We will definitely be back many times.

We had such a great time

Google Review July 2024

We had such a great time yesterday when I visited for my birthday and the lady on the desk was so helpful explaining the accessibility of the park for me as I walk with a stick now. I managed to see everything as the paths were well laid out with lots of benches around.
All the birds and animals were brilliant especially the choughs and the flamingos.

Google Review July 2024

Wonderful place and great full family day out, full of activities! First visit the other week and extremely impressed. The staff are lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. The prices in the cafe are really reasonable and the little train ride was a lovely little bonus extra (£1 per person) which my two young children loved. Different feeding times and shows which were great with a nice little break mid day which meant my kids had time to use the soft play without missing anything. The flying shows were great and it was so refreshing to hear that the birds can go off and do their own thing if they wish. Definitely will be returning and have got our returns pass!

More places should be run like this

Google Review June 2024

Staying in Hayle Cornwall we de decided to make a visit with our 2 1/2 year old. Although not huge there is alot packed in the area. The birds and other animals are clearly well cared for. The talks really make the visit, very interactive, with keepers that come across with so much genuine passion and care for the animals. We’ve never visited anywhere where they had so many free flying bird displays, and all done with positive enforcement of food. Would highly recommend. The lorikeet feeding (even by a 2 year old) and the free flight of a dozen Scawlet Macaws across the park stood out as favourites, stunning. More places should be run like this. Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Via email - June 2024

Hi Team,

My wife and I are in our late 70,s and attended the park on Wednesday and wanted to tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves taken by our son and his wife.

The events were fun and the birds / animals really healthy and well looked after.

Everything was reasonably priced and the cafe food splendid.

The staff were professional and very helpful

I close by picking out one member of staff for special mention. Emma in the cafe was so efficient working like a trojan, making drinks, taking orders serving food and working the till non stop.
From Jimmy on email.

Thank you for a fantastic time!

Facebook Review June 2024

We’ve just got back from a lovely day at Paradise park! We were a little worried before arriving as have had previous experience with disappointing wildlife parks, however we have nothing but great things to say about our time today! The staff were fantastic, informative, cheerful and all looked like they enjoyed what they do. The grounds were incredibly pristine, and everywhere looked amazingly well kept with beautiful plants and flowers, green lawn areas and many clean enclosures with clearly well looked after birds and animals! Our daughters particularly loved feeding the birds, the spotless indoor play and the large bird show, but we all enjoyed every part of the day, and all leaned something! The gift shop and cafe were also lovely and not too overpriced as at other attractions. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Loved every second

Facebook Review January 2024

We visited yesterday, we loved every second. We’ve visited many times over the years. The grounds and animals are well kept, the posters are informative and interesting for all ages. All the staff we encountered were happy, friendly and knowledgeable. The jungle barn soft play was incredibly clean, and we were in the middle session of the day. We arrived around 10:30, used the cafe, and didn’t leave until 3:30pm. The reason for the review mainly is because the Penguin Feed and talk with Emma was incredible. There was only 6 of us there, but her knowledge of the animals she loves and cares for is of the highest standard. She was kind polite and spent time on answering any questions anyone had as well as making sure she had fed the penguins in the order required for their needs. Brilliant activist for looking after the planet, and said she completes beach cleans to reduce plastic in the ocean. A great role model for the children listening. Thank you!

The closest experience to tropical birds in the wild

TripAdvisor October 2023

Did not expect a visit to a zoo to be the highlight of our trip to Cornwall. Having experienced the joy of seeing tropical birds flying free, birds in cages feel wrong. Paradise Park more than overcomes our reservations. The range of different parrots to see here is more than anyone but a professional naturalist knows about or traveller could see in the wild. Loss of habitat makes captive breeding programmes as conducted here a last hope for preserving species. The care and space for the animals does what it can to make the best of the cages. The information about the birds is cleverly presented:enough to tell an interesting story but not too much detail.
Much of the presentation is rightly designed for children. But there is plenty to interest us pensioners.

What a great day out!

TripAdvisor September 2023

We are two mid-60s retirees. Only have 1 grandchild who wasn’t there as he’s too young. Yet, we really enjoyed our visit today. Saw lots of great and wonderful birds, saw otters (super cute the are) and the penguin feeding. Really lovely to see how many creatures they themselves have either directly reared or assisted in doing so. Particularly the Red Clough, native to Cornwall.

TripAdvisor September 2023

An excellent visit to Paradise Park. The variety of exotic birds is amazing. It makes you realise just how wonderful nature is to create such beautifully coloured birds. The flying display is definitely the highlight of the day, especially when the flock of macaws was released from their enclosure. Penguin feeding time was another highlight despite the fact that most of them were uninterested in food and just wanted to swim in the cool water on what was a really hot day. The choughs were lovely to see and to watch as part of the display.

Really enjoyed a trip to paradise park, and learnt loads. Super lucky to get a very quick glance of the baby otters as they poked their heads out the nest. Loads of different birds and animals to see and learn about. Loved the different displays and talks. The penguin one and the birds of prey were particularly good. My fav was feeding the lorikeets.

We will treasure the memories

Google Review September 2023

Our family had the best day here. We usually speed through places and feel we haven’t spent much time at an attraction, but we stayed here until the park closed. There were lots of birds and animals to see. The park is really clean, and we were able to get round everywhere with our daughter’s wheelchair.

Our children are 14, 11 and 4 and all absolutely loved their time at the park. We were blown away by the fact a few members of staff took the time to show our daughter with special needs some of their treasured birds. This meant the world to us as a family and we will treasure the memories.

The play barn was really good fun, and we were able to get some great food at the café. We really enjoyed the shows and the team’s passion for the birds was very clear and really magical. A really special day out for the whole family.

Beyond expectations!

We had a fabulous day out. Fun for everyone young and older – they have an endless selection of birds of different species and colours, great for taking pictures. The highlights were the very informative and entertaining bird shows – the birds flew very close to us! They’ve also got a wider selection of other animals which you can feed which the kids really enjoyed. We saw lots of young kids and teens and they were having a great time (along with our teens). We had food and beverages around lunch time with lots of seating outside and inside. The staff were lovely, I’d happily visit again!

A gem of a place!

TripAdvisor July 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Paradise Park. The whole place was really well staffed and very well maintained and clean. The investment in great staff really showed. There was an outstanding range of birds to view including in a free flying aviary, as well as a little farm, an indoor play area in the jungle barn (you need to prebook a time slot and this too was so clean and tidy!) and red panda and otters etc. Lots of informative shows with plentiful outdoor seating throughout the day. The nectar feeding of rainbow lorikeets was a real highlight for the children. It was the perfect size and a real credit to whoever is managing it. I appreciate zoos and wildlife parks are not for everyone but this seemed to be run really well and responsibly with all enclosures and areas for birds and animals very well maintained.

A magical, magical thing.

TripAdvisor Review July 2023

A wonderful surprising day out.

I came with a load of ideas about what this might be like, but none of them got close to what I found. This is a clearly much loved, beautifully looked after wildlife park. The gardens are gorgeous, there are benches thoughtfully placed everywhere you go to admire the views out to sea or of the most gorgeous birds and stand out exhibits around every corner – flamingoes, penguins, a new pair of otters and – oh my – maccaws. The flying displays are weather dependent, but they are not to be missed if they are on. The free flight, out of their aviary of a flock of giant,colourful macaws – a dozen perhaps – to music – was as wonderful a thing as I have seen anywhere. A magical, magical thing. Great staff too. Thank you for a fabulous afternoon.

Our family has visited this place for 35+ years

Google Review June 2023

A very quick visit today. Lots of live flying , feeding, and interactions with birds and otters.
The information from staff was clear, and they’re very passionate about their conservation and breeding programmes. Enclosures are all kept incredibly well. No sick animals or birds. All look to be happy and very healthy. The flights of the macaws were stunning today. We were also very lucky that because of the breeziness today, Paradise Park was pretty quiet, so we had great views of all of the exhibits.

We had a great time in the soft play, which is clean and well managed. They’re also still using a booking system since covid to keep numbers to a sensible level, so it’s not a completely overcrowded free for all, like many soft plays in Cornwall often are!
Disabled access facilities are available, and access to the park is all wheelchair and pushchair friendly.

Our family has visited this place for 35+ years ( since I was little ), and I can honestly say it’s gone from strength to strength. It’s absolutely lovely to see such good avian husbandry, and the animals here all seem very content too. The otters are so cute we wish we could have stayed all day to watch them!

It’s definitely worth the visit. As a small attraction, they are making massive investments into conservation and breeding, and it shows. The information about each species can be found from any of the keepers, and their enthusiasm for their wonderful little park and its residents is so heartwarming. I am so proud to see the place still going despite the effects covid has had on other similar attractions across the region.
Well done, Nick and team!!

Highly recommend

Google Review June 2023

Paradise Park has always been my favourite place to visit in Cornwall. I’d been coming here since I was little so this time it was nice to finally bring my son along and pass down my love for it. He absolutely loved it! He liked watching the otter/ penguin feeding and seeing all the different birds and animals in the park and doing the otter quiz. It was also nice to see the birds of prey up close at 12pm. Paradise really looks after all residents there and the keepers are so dedicated.
The Playbarn is still as I remember it, my son loved it especially the rainbow slide! It was also super clean and having prebooked time slots for sessions is much better now!
Gift shop is great for all ages too!
Staff are so helpful and friendly.
Shame we were only here for 4 days otherwise we’d definitely have bought a return ticket. Hopefully next year we’ll be back!

We visited twice in our 2 week holiday to Cornwall. Our little girl loved it. Especially the park and the train. She really enjoyed feeding the goats, the sheep not so much (clearly she has her favourites) we saw the birds of prey show, which was amazing. Definitely a place to visit with kids. So educational while still being fun. We didn’t visit the indoor play area though, so can’t comment on that, but it’s good to have that option to include in the visit too. Thanks to the park for their hospitality.

Place to make a lot of memories

Emailed to the Park Feb Half Term 2023

To all at Paradise Park. This is just to say a massive thank you for making my families visit today absolutely FANTASTIC! We were greeted this morning by the lovely keepers Archie and Eleanor, who we also saw a lot of throughout the day! My children were able to hold rabbits and Guinea pigs and also make enrichment for the Parrots. This is a super amazing experience, especially for children with behavioral problems we’re they don’t necessarily like a lot of people around. Eleanor was so calm when my son was nervous about holding a rabbit, she sat with him whilst he was stroking the rabbit until he got super excited and suddenly really wanted to hold it. She was patient with my son and daughter with their strange questions and queries. We then proceeded into the jungle barn, where I must say, it was super clean! Having curious children you wonder what they’re touching and all the germs about, but this place was absolutely spotless. The staff, again, were absolutely fantastic!

After going on a little tour we ended up at the Lorikeet feeding. Eleanor made sure that both my children were able to have at least on bird land on their hand. She was again super patient with their questions and so lovely and chatty with my children, they really loved asking her questions. My son was slightly scared at the thought of a bird landing on him. She held his arm still whilst 3 birds landed on him! It was his favourite part of the day, and all he spoke about on the car ride home! We then went to watch the ‘Meet and Greet’. This was definitely my favorite part of the day! Matt was showing Popeye and all the tricks she can do. It’s so amazing to see staff that are happy doing their jobs, and clearly enjoying it. We then saw Archie at the Penguin feeding. He was so confident with his talk and you could tell he knew what he was talking about! We then stayed after for questions and again, he was so patient and lovely with my children! He then let us see a penguin close it, which was such a beautiful experience. He was so good at interacting with the audience and making sure everyone felt seen. Even answering the questions he made sure everyone was able to ask them, even if they felt uncomfortable to in front of other people, so a big WELL DONE!

Honestly, you’re all amazing at your jobs and I just wanted to say a big big thank you!!! It really is a place to make a lot of memories and having amazing staff makes it so much more enjoyable. I will definitely be recommending my friends and family to have a day trip here, and we will definitely visit again very soon!

Thank you so much!!

We had a mixed part of 8 with adults and children ranging from 4 to 11 and great fun was had by all. We visited the park and funbarn as well as going on the small train (a must for the 4 year old in our party!) . The kids loved looks for the answers to the Claude’s in the mini-keepers handout and loved the different type of birds and animals.

Extra special was watching the beautiful flock of macaws free flying over the park, a beautiful site!

We arrived at about 11am and stayed for 4 hours which was a good amount of time though we possibly could have stayed longer watching one of the shows and would not have been bored. Highly recommended.

This place is a winner

TripAdvisor Review August 2022

The barn soft play coined with exotic animals, good displays and plenty to see and do.. this place is a winner.

Excellent bird display with great commentary.

Well laid out, and just the right size for drifting about and seeing lots of animals that have been given new homes (which all look well taken care of).

The barn is brilliant, an hour and a half of soft play is plenty, did the 10-11:30 session, perfect for 2 littlens that after could have their lunch before seeing the animals.

Easy to get to from St Ives area, 10 minutes.

Thoroughly enjoyable day.

What a lovely wildlife park. We booked our tickets online. It was free parking. The staff throughout the park where lovely and informative.
There are plenty of areas to sit and have picnics or the park does have a cafe. (With lovely cake) 😂
We spent a good five hours here. The weather was raining but it didn’t ruin our day.
We loved watching and listening about the penguins. You can go into an aviary and feed the birds. The bird of prey show was also great.
My daughter loved feeding the sheep and goats. You can buy the food for just 50p per bag.
It was overall a really great day and we recommend visiting.

We’ve been to loads of these sorts of places and this has to be the best we’ve been to. Certainly it was the best day out we’ve ever had with our 3yo.

The place is just fantastic: loads of lovely birds of many different species, all clearly very well looked after. Scarlet macaws flying round making a racket. A lovely display area next to the cafe (which does very nice food at a really reasonable rate), a play area just next door and brilliant shows every 90 mins or so. Lorikeets you can feed and a penguin or two you can meet and have a cuddle with!

Every staff member we spoke to was lovely and really accommodating – in particular hats off to the train driver, who gave my wife and daughter a special ride just for them because they were a minute late and missed the scheduled ride! Also the lovely lady in the cafe who went out of her way to get the ice lolly I asked for.

We were there from opening to closing time and it just flew by. I’ve rarely been anywhere so well run, organised or full of obviously caring people. Fabulous!

Beautiful large aviaries, the birds are well looked after with plenty of space to fly, waddle, perch, screech or quack. Fantastic variety of species, with the chance to hand feed Rainbow Lorikeets and pose with a penguin. Knowledgeable staff, happy to answer questions. Great on-site cafe for when you need a break. Colourful Macaw parrots free-fly around the park during the day and return to the cage for feeding time. Clean toilets. There are also farm animals, red pandas and red squirrels too but we didn’t get round to seeing them. So much to do will have to come back again.

Continuing to show my Wife the joy of the natural world this was a big success. We both enjoyed our visit tremendously. Superbly laid out avian display park with an excellent cafe. Plus for the kiddies so readily bored in an instant a’fun barn’ is genius. All the staff friendly and approachable, a big thank you to Mr Penguin for showing us visitors Pedro the penguin chick. Vividly coloured Macaws flying free really spoilt us more used to dull sparrows ( sorry sparrows ). Feeding the Rainbow Lorikeets a big highlight for the Missus. Either enclosed or running free ( Flamingos ! ) the birds looked most content in their large aviaries. Truly a heaven on earth for parrot fans, definitely an attraction to visit multiple times. First Class !

The Red Panda Experience is simply amazing

TripAdvisor Review May 2022

This is a lovely place to visit, as you walk in it seems quite compact, but that is deceptive and you soon find yourself discovering hidden areas with more birds and animals, many of them rare (Red Squirrels anyone?) all of them fascinating in their own way.

But our trip was a special treat, a chance for me to be closer to my favourite animal that ever I thought might be possible. The ‘cuteness overload’ Red Pandas

No need to go into detail, just take it from me that the experience is all you could hope for and then mores so. Made perfect by the two Keepers, Donna who has probably forgotten more about Red Pandas than most zoo workers ever learn, and Emma, who is following in her footsteps towards becoming these animals greatest fans. They love the little ‘bears’

Seriously, don’t even think twice. Just do it.

An excellent day out for all the family. The highlight of the day are the free flying macaws: released in the morning they fly freely around the park and local area, perching in the tops of trees or wherever they will, returning to their aviary mid afternoon. We were able to feed the lorikeets (watch out for the other end of the bird!), the sheep and goats, as well as watch various talks throughout the day. The food offering in the cafe was very varied and of good quality.

The park is involved with a number of breeding and reintroduction initiatives and is well deserving of support. An excellent day out.

Superb place for the youngsters, great selection of small animals and birds, with good interaction. The staff who looks after the animals and birds are amazing. Well done great day at reasonable prices (inc food in the restaurant).

Love this hidden gem!

Google review May 2022

Not only did my toddler love the animals and playground (both outdoor and indoor!) but it was fascinating for me as well. A few dinosaurs dotted about as well as flamingos, penguins, red pandas, otters and a plethora of other birds! Love that some fly freely around the treetops and that the flamingos just wander around. Been twice now and I look forward to going back every time I’m in the area. Definitely recommend!
From Tasmin

Love this place, we all wished we lived nearer!

Trip Advisor Review November 2021

We come here on every visit to Cornwall and have been 4 times this year. The return pass is really good value. The whole family love this place. It’s so clean and tidy, the animals all look really well liked after and there is so much to do. The cafe is very good and reasonably priced. The penguin and lorikeet feeding is back and the kids love it. We can’t wait to come back in the spring.

Absolutely outstanding...

Trip Advisor Review October 2021

Have lived in Hayle a few years now and first time with family visiting we did a trip to Paradise Park.
Absolutely outstanding….was amazed with the huge variety of birds and animals.
The gardens (even in October) are beautiful.

The kids loved it, feeding penguins and birds etc.

I thought it was expensive but really worth every penny.

Lunch in the cafe was great and the barn was spotless and a good focus from staff on CV19 controls.

Staff throughout the park were friendly and genuine.

Conservation of these wonderful animals

Google Review October 2021

What a fantastic experience! It’s just wonderful to see all the amazing hard work and efforts put into keeping rare and endangered species going. All the animals are kept in fantastic environments with lots of enrichment, so lovely to see. Thank you for doing so much for the conservation of these wonderful animals! We’ll be back again soon!

The JungleBarn itself is fantastic for kids of all ages (and adults!)

Google Review September 2021

Paradise Park is an amazing day out for the whole family. The jungle barn itself is fantastic for kids of all ages (and adults!). I went with my 1 year old and 10 year old nephews. The area for smaller children was very fun and both boys had a blast! The bird and animal attractions were awesome, you get right up and close with the animals. Feeding the goats was a particular favourite. There are so many shows throughout the day too where the kids get involved. The staff are clearly very knowledgeable and great communicators.

We went with a wheelchair

Google review August 2021

They are a great place to visit as the work they are doing to conserve chough and parrots amongst many things needs support. They have the national collection of parrots. We went with a wheelchair and although hilly (it is cornwall!) was doable. There is a freeflying display and a penguin feeding time with a talk about the birds. There is good access and food is available. There is also a souvenir shop. All the staff we met were very nice and helpful. There are also some lovely bamboo and other plants to add to the paradise feel. All current covid restrictions were followed but still a good time was had by all.
From Ann Hughes

Totally exceeded our expectations.

Instagram Review August 2021

What a gem Paradise Park in Hayle is! Totally exceeded our expectations.
So many animals to see and the staff were all experts and so passionate about the welfare and rehabilitation of the creatures back into their natural environments.
We watched penguins being fed, bird displays, fed goats and sheep, saw red pandas, loads of birds and owls, otters, even a few dinosaurs. We couldn’t get tickets for soft play (all sold out) or the mini train but honestly it didn’t stop the fun one bit as there was so much else to do.
Totally recommend, although it’s not cheap it’s a full day out that’s educational too.

Thank you for being careful

Instagram Review August 2021

I went recently and was a bit worried as to how it would be in August but it was really great, I felt safe and we all had a lovely time. Thank you for being careful, it’s so weird having to interact with people who have all got their own way of dealing (or not dealing) with this situation, so I felt really reassured by your messaging on what the expectation is re masks etc. Thank you for making one of my very few outings in a long time such a pleasure.

Real nice experience for all ages

Real nice experience for all ages. Plenty to see and do in the park, the free flying parrots are an amazing experienceand photo opportunity. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. By my experience(I previously worked in a owl and birds of prey centre) the animals where well cared for and content. The staff friendly and helpful. I honestly can’t find any bad points in this place. We’ll done guys keep up the awesome work.

What a fantastic place this is

What a fantastic place this is, we are so lucky to of found this on our first ever visit to Cornwall and it was perfect, the displays are so natural and the birds and clearly happy and adored. The macaws are magnificent. The whole set up is great. We usually spend a maximum of 4 hours in somewhere like this but we where there all day. We can’t wait to come back next year and go again.

Unbelievably excited to return

I used to come here as a child on holiday with my parents.

This week I had a surprise week away with my partner and I was unbelievably excited to return.

Still a fantastic park with lots to see and learn, all the staff are friendly and helpful. The beautiful birds are looked after to such a high standard as always.

Fabulous day out for all the family! I have already arranged to bring my children back in a couple of weeks.

Free flying macaws were endlessly entertaining

Google Review July 2021

My favourite attraction to go to in Cornwall. Took my partner for the first time this year and he was hesitant as worried it was more for kids but he loved it. Took us about 2 hours to wander round and it was a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful spot by the hale estuary. The free flying macaws were endlessly entertaining and there were so many animals to look at and learn about its impossible to get bored here. Plus they always look happy and relaxed unlike a lot of animal sanctuaries. They’ve done really well with covid restrictions, clearly outlining the correct one way system and with staggered entry times and sanitising stations every few metres.

The park is much larger than expected

Google Review July 2021

A great place for all the family. There is a good selection of birds here from all over the world. The information given about the birds is very concise, so as to educate without getting too much. The aviaries are spacious and well maintained. The park is much larger than expected and adults can quite easily spend a couple hours here. With the additional benefits of well equipped and maintained play areas families will very happily enjoy a full day here.

Loved our day here so much that we came back again the same week!

TripAdvisor Review June 2021

Amazing park!!.. we loved our day here so much that we came back again the same week! Great for families as there’s loads to do. Our little boy absolutely adored the jungle barn which was mega clean and the time slots made sure it wasnt busy which was great. Followed by a dinosaur trail and feeding the animals, and after lunch a ride on the train! He literally had the best day and so did we. Its very well run and absolutely immaculate with flowers, well kept lawns and all the animals and birds are very well looked after. This place is a credit to the friendly staff and we’ve recommended it to our friends with kids. Thanks for 2 brilliant fun packed days of wearing out active toddler out!

Everything! Had a fabulous day here. The park far outweighed my expectations. As well as beautiful gardens with lots of lovely picnic areas, a gift shop, a cafe, a pub, a little train to ride through the grounds and an indoor soft play area. All this and most beautiful birds plus donkeys, sheep, goats, otters. Something for everyone from Grandparents to toddlers. Could spend a whole day there, especially when it’s sunny. The staff were friendly and informative. Thank you all for a wonderful day, have already booked my return ticket. Wonderful place.

Cannot recommend highly enough for a lovely day out.

Tripadvisor Review June 2021

Absolutely loved our visit last week. Beautiful gardens, all immaculately kept. Birds are fabulous and the free flying Macaws provided such good entertainment. We loved the otters who are absolutely gorgeous as are the penguins and sheep. Something for everyone of all ages. Cannot recommend highly enough for a lovely day out. It all felt very safe. Loads of sanitising stations, social distancing rules observed and a lovely cup of coffee in the cafe. We did not eat but the food available all looked lovely and fresh. The shop has some great gifts too. Found a perfect birthday present for a friend who is very difficult to buy for. If you are in the area please visit as you will not be disappointed.

I've never seen such an amazing variety of birds

Tripadvisor review May 2021

As a 69 yr old & a 73 yr old – both with mobility issues at the moment – we had a fabulous day at Paradise Park on Thurs 13th May, & we were able to access the whole park very easily. Thankfully the weather was great, which definitely helps, but the park itself was wonderful. I’ve never seen such an amazing variety of birds & the sheer quantity of them too. The Mackaws were great – being extremely exuberant & vocal when seeing their keepers coming to ultimately release them from their cage for a few hours. It was fantastic watching them being let out of their cage & flying freely around the park – then, later in the day, returning to their cage at the ring of a bell!! The Flamngos’ were wandering freely around the walled garden & arguing amongst themselves, which was very entertaining! However, for my friend, the Penquins were the highlight of the day. We spent a long time just watching them playing in the water, & waddling around, & then being fed by a lovely member of staff who was very caring towards them, & who happily, & interestingly, answered all of our many questions. The gardens too are beautifully maintained & truly delightful, adding to the whole experience. All in all we had a wonderful day out, & would highly recommend a trip here to anyone of any age.

I would thoroughly recommend this charming and well-run attraction to anyone of any age

Tripadvisor Review September 2020

I first visited Paradise Park as a child. I loved it then and I love it now.
Not to be confused with its much bigger namesake in Hertfordshire, Paradise Park is a fairly small zoo that is more of a bird garden with a few other animals thrown in as a bonus. However, anything it lacks in the way of acreage or diversity of species it more than makes up for in charm, imagination, setting and the beautiful condition of its enclosures and gardens.
The park is set on the picturesque and ornithologically important Hayle estuary and has a corresponding, natualistic feel. The lawns, trees, shrubberies and flower beds are very attractive and play a vital role in the overall experience, taking advantage, like so many gardens in the area, of the mild climate to create a lush, sub-tropical feel. The enclosures are well kept and clean with imaginative layouts. Some of the aviaries are large and contain multiple species, so that it is possible to spend some time spotting birds amongst the undergrowth and branches.
Amongst the few mammals on display are some very endearing species including harvest mice, short-clawed otters and red squirrels. There is also a farm yard area with donkeys, rabbits and the like. Bags of grain with which to hand-feed the goats and sheep are free at the entrance.
Although Paradise Park has limited examples of mammals and reptiles, the number of bird species on display is huge, considering the intimate dimensions of the grounds. The birds are, without exception, healthy-looking and, as contented animals tend to be, they are active and vocal. Quite a number of different species of parrot can be seen flying freely around the grounds and flamingos glide across the lawns.
In more normal times , unaffected by viruses, a superb tropical house is available, as is the feeding of certain birds and regular bird flying displays.
Paradise park has friendly, efficient staff. The gift shop has some very nice items for sale and, best of all, there is an on-site family pub called The Bird in Hand, where good local beer and tasty lunches are available. Covid measures are carefully observed.
I would thoroughly recommend this charming and well-run attraction to anyone of any age.
From Paul R

We will definitely be returning

TripAdvisor Review Jan 2020

We visited with our 18 month old and spent most of a day here.
We were very Impressed with the park.
The staff were all very friendly and happy to talk with us about their work, which ( based on the people we spoke to) they clearly enjoyed doing.
The interpretation boards were all well done, the enclosures all clean and well maintained, and the birds and other animals seem well cared for.
There seems to be a programme of continued development of the enclosures one area we saw had clearly just been finished.m, which is good.
It was good also to read about the various conservation works the park is doing, both in the UK and with other charities around the world.
Our daughter enjoyed the penguin feeding, as well as many of the other birds, and had a huge amount of fun in the soft play area.
We will definitely be returning, as and when we are back in Cornwall.

Love this place! We visit every year when we’re in Cornwall for holidays. It’s a lovely relaxing place to walk around – such beautiful birds. So much for the children to do – the farm is particularly popular especially when they get to feed the animals. The dinosaur trail is also a great addition- excellent photo opportunity’s. Penguin feeding is also great fun! Even on a rainy day, the jungle barn alone is worth the price, suitable for all ages. Excellent gift shop that is reasonably priced. My personal favourite has to be the art gallery through the entrance. Lots to see, lots to do, excellent value for money, very educational and informative.

Penguin feeding a highlight

TripAdvisor Review Sep 2019

We got here at opening time and left at about 530, what a great day out. Our two year old was able to feed the penguins which was so lovely to watch and he got to meet Peaches for a photo afterwards. We took a little break in the jungle barn while it was raining which was really handy and the kids loved it. We tried the train ride but unfortunately it started raining again and wasn’t able to run. We had bought our own picnic with us and there is a large picnic area outside and also an area inside you can use which was especially handy due to the weather. We walked around and managed to see everything while the children napped in the pushchair so the rain didn’t bother us and once they woke we returned to the jungle barn. Due to the weather some of the activities/shows were called off but we couldn’t fault anything, all the staff we encountered were lovely everything was clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Adult participation is encouraged!

Google Review Sep 2019

Incredibly well arranged park with something for all weather conditions; getting you up close (and very personal) with some really gorgeous animals in enclosures that are obviously made with care and affection, ensuring the animals are well treated first, and available for viewing as a byproduct. Whether rain or shine, the park flourishes and many spaces are sheltered against all but the worst of weather. I’ve never had such a good view of Red Pandas (seriously, until now the best I’ve caught is a fluffy red ball in a tree at other parks) and the eagle show was very impressive. Even better, you’re supporting species that are critically endangered and need the support and awareness such parks provide. Finally, while little people will obviously enjoy getting close to such a colourful variety of animals, the indoor play zone is a guaranteed hit. Bring socks, or buy them there, because adult participation is encouraged! Really impressed, and highly recommend!

Red panda experience and it was absolutely awesome

TripAdvisor Review Aug 2019

My husband and I visited for the Red Panda Experience which we were given as a wedding present. The zoo is small compared to others but what really sets it apart is the staff who are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They’ve got an amazing collection of birds and the little farm with the pygmy goats and miniature donkey is fab particularly for younger kids. The main focus of our visit was the red panda experience and it was absolutely awesome. The 2 keepers were really knowledgeable and able to answer all our random questions and you could absolutely tell that the focus was on treating the animals with care and respect. Scarlet the red Panda was super friendly and amazingly gentle when being fed, she seemed very relaxed and had plenty of space to go do her own thing if she’d had enough of us. We also got the opportunity to meet a hand reared young penguin who was absolutely adorable.
Thank you so much for an amazing afternoon!

TripAdvisor Review July 2019

I absolutely loved this place!! To be able to go and hand feed the lorikeets was just amazing! I love these birds so had been looking forward to this part of the park the most. I would also like to give credit to the man who was organising this activity, as it was very very busy, yet he was extremely friendly, patient and knowledgeable, helping people to get the best from their personal experience.
The rest of the park was amazing too, very well laid out, all the animals looked well cared for. It was great to see the flamingos with eggs waiting to hatch (not a sight you come across often!). Lots of talks and activities. All the staff we saw were happy and friendly.
The Cafe is also worth a mention – great food, big portions and at very good prices.

Would love to return next time im in Cornwall.

Absolutely brilliant

TripAdvisor Review July 2019

I don’t usually feel the need to write reviews but I took my 2 year old twins to the park today and they LOVED it. We only live in Truro but this was my first visit so I didn’t know what to expect. I started the day looking for a day out for them… train ride, animals, play park? And thought I’d give PP a go as it’s got it all. You get up close with the birds and animals, there are lots of ‘hands on’ activities and best of all with twins to watch, the play area is enclosed and safe. We were there all day and didn’t even get as far as the indoor play area or the shows. Oh well, a perfectly good excuse to bring the boys back in a week or two. A fantastic day and I have two very worn out little boys. Far exceeded expectations. A big thumbs up!

We visited the park yesterday for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. From the moment we arrived we had a very pleasant experience. The staff are all helpful and the site itself is very clean. You can see how much they care about all the animals and it’s lovely to see the enclosures are all very spacious which you don’t see often when visiting zoos etc. My 5 year old daughter loved getting to cuddle a penguin as did I. The eagles of paradise display was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed learning about each species. We will definitely be returning in the future and 100% recommend to anyone looking for a lovely day out whether it be as a family, couple or group visit.

If I could give 10 stars rather than just 5 I would , what a fantastic place to visit, it’s clear everywhere the welfare of the animals is the first priority quite rightly so as well , we enjoyed everything about the day , enjoying every aspect , we watched the penguin feeding , both the flying displays and the young one enjoyed the indoor soft play , you may feel it’s expensive but once there I feel it’s very good value , keep your eyes peeled for discount offers , hats off to all the workers they truly do enjoy their jobs clearly and care for the birds in their care well done to each and every one , our visit will live long in the memory along with the fact that there is clearly on going investment in the site and conservation taking place.

Amazing zoo and bird park, friendly staff, great cause, an extremely enjoyable day out. I was able to pet a penguin which was unique and incredible, being my favourite animal by far and having gone to see many other penguins but never been so close and able to pet one. The experience was amazing and the animals all seemed free and happy. The park was not too crowded although there were many people there and the animals were very interesting and fun. The birds were also a highlight and the pandas, both being very interesting and cute and the bird display being incredible. Honest charity and a very worthwhile day trip.

This was our second time visiting Paradise Park. Our girls are 6 & 3 years. First thing we did when we arrived was go to watch the penguins being fed. Such a lovely close encounter and the penguins love human contact!!! My 6 year old was lucky enough to be chosen out the crowd to feed the penguins! She was so excited! It made her day! So Thank you. Also penguins are brought round for you to meet, say hello & stroke! Which we all loved!!! The birds are just stunning and all well looked after. There’s also a farm area which you can buy food to feed them. The Birds of prey show is simply stunning! We enjoyed every minute! Where else can you watch such a fantastic show with such a beautiful view!!!!! Also the man who presented the show was fabulous and very informative! Nice to see Archie the eagle going strong! Even have my favourite red pandas!!!! So adorable! ❤ We also did the mini train ride. I think it was £1 Or £2 a ticket. Goes around the track twice. I’d say you’re on it for approx 5mins. The girls loved it but for kids any older than 8ish I think they’d find it boring. We watched the free flying Parrott, bird display! This was also amazing! Just shows how happy the birds are! Could sit all day Monday traveling watching the parrots flying back and forth! Again the girl who presented the show was great! We watched the Otters being fed which I found very interesting! Danni was fab! So informative and no question was too much for her! You can clearly see she enjoys her job! Which is always nice to see. She was also fab at the penguin feeding! She was the staff member who stood out the most! She’s a credit to the park!! Great soft play area! With really big slides older kids would love. My girls weren’t brave enough for them! We didn’t eat at the park so can’t comment on the food as we always take a picnic. All in all a very enjoyable day out! A fabulous day out in Cornwall and a must see!! We got a voucher online which took a couple £1 of each ticket. Cost just under £50 for 2 adults, 2 children. We didn’t get bored once and spent from 11am till 5pm there! Will 100% return in the future! Looking forward to seeing the Otter babies / families you have planned!

Red Panda Experience the best in the country

TripAdvisor May 2019

Husband booked this for my big 3.0. I love Red Pandas and this is my third experience in the UK. This hands down beats Paradise Park in Herfordshire and Chester Zoo by miles. The keepers had no problem letting us stay in the enclosure as long as we wanted, were informative and cheery, took LOADS of pictures for us and overall were superb. The actual experience is brilliant, as these particular Pandas will not be released into the wild, they are trained to be incredibly friendly to assist with transportation for their breeding programme (currently they are high on the endangered list) and for vet visits. This means they don’t mind being stroked and they will happily sit on you to eat, as well as cutely holding your hand!!! I was in my element, almost died of cute overload. Entrance to the park is free with the experience, which makes the park well worth it as it is a tad small, but there are beautiful birds, penguins and otters as well as farm animals and shows so a family day out is decent if you’re on holiday. The jungle barn soft play looked good for kids too. They have an undercover picnic area which means rainy days aren’t a problem and the cafe prices are reasonable. Would do the experience again!!!

I had the opportunity to pet a penguin named Peaches

Google April 2019

Had a fantastic day here! Visiting as part of a group of five students (all with the minds of children), we all had a wonderful day. Plenty of birds in spacious enclosures, red pandas and a petting zoo (with goats!!!) there is plenty to do. Personally my favourite part was penguin feeding (I had the opportunity to pet a penguin named Peaches). I’d also recommend the free flying birds show and the Bird in Hand pub. A wonderful day out so long as you like animals (and even if you don’t, you will after a day here).

Quite possibly the best attraction in Cornwall! Value for money with lots to do for young and old! Even if busy there’s no waiting about…my favourite place is visiting the penguins…my daughters favourite is the Jungle Barn…buy the return ticket on your way out and it saves you even more money!! The train is good fun too, you pay £1 per person, watch out for the raptor in the tunnel!!

A very educational interactive experience

Google November 2018

‘Review from a visit during the summer’
I especially loved Max and Collie both of them talk! The most exciting thing is seeing extremely Rare Breeds and the conservation work that the park does. The reintroduction of red squirrels is one of the biggest successes of Paradise Park along with other species namely Birds they are very successful in breeding because the animals are well kept. When you have species so endangered there are less than 200 left releasing even one back into the Wild is a huge contribution. There is so much to see here and it’s not just Birds. A very educational interactive experience. I even saw a gentleman meeting the red pandas which they had paid for as an experience. It was beautiful to see the pandas literally eating out of his hand. You can get the birds eating out of your hand for as little as £1 and you can also feed sheep and goats. For animal lovers of all ages including my 54 year-old self it’s a great place to visit. I might also add that I use a mobility scooter and find the park very accessible. If you need a carer then they also do a carers pass.
From Paul Pengelly

So impressed

TripAdvisor October 2018

So impressed with our day out at Paradise Park. All talks and shows were very informative and included great close ups of the birds. The free flying Macaws were wonderful plus the Red Pandas were so active. Visited with a 14 month old and it was perfect for him. Would definitely return if visiting this part of the country again.

Money well spent!

TripAdvisor October 2018

Money well spent! A day of pleasure despite the weather. The variety of birds-magnificent! Other animals – unique, even in the kids petting section! They all looked happy and well cared for, and so were fear free and friendly! All the staff were lovely and the gift store very thoughtfully stocked, Definitely worth a visit for fun and feel good support for birds. We would recommend this park for parents who want their kids to learn about love and the world around them!

Visiting regularly since 1975.

TripAdvisor October 2018

We’ve been visiting Paradise Park regularly since 1975. Always something new to see and, aside from the birds and animals, the gardens are wonderful too, especially if you like bamboo. Fortunately the red pandas eat bamboo and are more active than the first time we saw them. We think we saw four moving about in the trees but they do move about a bit. There’s something for everyone.

Toddler area which I was really impressed with

TripAdvisor October 2018

All the years we have been to Hayle, this year was the first time we decided to visit Paradise Park. We have an 18 month old and it was perfect for him to be in the pram/out the pram, run around and get tired out! Lots of animals, so many birds etc to see. We saw the penguins being fed, theres a parrot show, little train ride, soft play, outdoor playground, We had our own picnic so sat in the large outdoor seating are to eat at lunch time. Went into the cafe for a coffee and bottle of coke though, and it looked as though they had a really good menu! Loads of choice. The indoor play area looked really good, busy as we expected it to be but our 18 month old stayed in the toddler area which I was really impressed with! Really ideal for older kids the huge slides looked fun. We were there from around 10am until 3pm. Definitely look around for vouchers/offers as there is plenty about online or in leaflets.

Honestly couldn’t rate it higher!

We went back twice to this incredible bird sanctuary. It really was paradise. The bird collection is second to none, but the interactive sections were phenomenal for the kids. Being able to be inside the bird enclosure and have the birds come down and land on my daughters hands was priceless. Having the birds fly overhead in the flying display was a fantastic way to educate the kids. Not even mentioning the wonderful play barn where they could blow off some steam. The little train ride was lovely. Honestly couldn’t rate it higher!! The team are doing a fantastic job there. Absolutely loved it!

We spent about 6hrs here...

TripAdvisor August 2018

If you love birds then this is the place for you. The place is stacked with them. Im not a huge bird fan but still found it good to take the kids There is a fantastic play area that was suitable for our 3 kids (4yr, 6yr & 12yr) we let them burn off their energy in there for an hour before taking them to see the enclosures. The bird feeding was very good and the kids loved having them on their arm. There is a little dinosaur trail on at the minute which the kids enjoyed completing to recieve a gift. Great picnic area with plenty of benches. We spent about 6hrs here, well recommended.

Fantastic and educational day out

TripAdvisor August 2018

What an absolutely amazing day we’ve had yet again. You never fail to bring us a fantastic and educational day out. We’ve visited the park for the last 7yrs on and off and a trip to Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without it. Kirsty is so knowledgable and all the staff very approachable. We hadn’t visited for a couple of years so asked Kirsty about some of the birds that we knew of and had adopted at one time or another and she told me exactly what had happened to each of them. The staff clearly love the animals and take great care of them. We loved the Lorikeets feeding time. My 5yr old was thrilled to bits to have a bird land on her for some nectar and so was my 11yr old son who has challenging behaviour. His demeanour just changed when surrounded by the birds. Ok so the price can seem a little steep on the face of it but there’s always vouchers to be found in the Cornwall visitors guides and it’s clear to see where the money goes. A massive thumbs up from this family of 6 and we look forward to our next visit.

We found the place easily with the postcode provided, lots of parking spaces available. Look out in local leaflets for discount coupons! The shows were fabulous, especially the bird flying (we’ve never seen a kookaburra in action!). The soft play was unusually clean (as far as our local ones go!) and the staff were constantly cleaning which I loved! Our daughter had lots of fun in there and on the small outdoor park. We are massive bird lovers, in this park we were totally in our element. Theres a really peaceful/tranquil vibe about the place and we came away with big smiles on our faces! We had a small bite in the cafe too which was enjoyable.

Amazing Experience

TripAdvisor July 2018

Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The displays were excellent and very informative. We watched the eagle display, free flying bird show and penguin feeding. I loved how they get other people involved with the penguin feeding. The gardens were lovely and it was great to have sign posts with recommended routes as it meant you didn’t miss anything. The play barn was great. Kept clean and tidy and the cafe inside was reasonably priced. Definitely well worth the money and hope to come back on my next visit to Cornwall. It’s the perfect day trip for the whole family.

Took my family here fun the day. Found it to be a wonderful place for people of all ages. There was lots to see and do. Every 1/2 hour there was a show, every thing from feeding the sheep and goats to birds of pray flying freely around the park. There are lots of photo opportunities including family photo with a really friendly penguin. I would recommend this for all, young or old I guarantee they will all have a wonderful experiance of the day.

Absolutely amazing little place! We live in Cornwall but haven’t had the chance to visit until yesterday. We stayed all day and were never short of mini attractions to see and get involved with. We visited with another family – we both have little ones under 2, and it was magical for them too. To actually have the opportunity to feed and pet a lot of the animals, including the penguins and exotic birds, was truly unique, and I would highly recommend it for a day out.

Absolutely amazing animal park. Me and my partner enjoyed every second of it. Feeding and petting the penguins was incredible and we’ve never seen that been done in any other zoo we’ve been too (and we’ve been to a lot!). Staff were lovely and friendly. It was raining when we went but it didn’t dampen our moods – just meant we got most of the park to ourselves! The red pandas are amazing and all of the animals look happy and have loads of space. Can’t wait to come back on our next holiday to Cornwall, one of my new favourite park/zoos.

We had a super day here yesterday with our 2 year old boy. He was most impressed by us getting picked to help feed the Penguins (day made). What a lovely selection of small animals and birds. The otters are adorable and it was nice to see animals I’d never seen before, red pandas and kookaburras. The birds of prey show was really good, just hope the escapee was found Haha!! The park is set out really well with dinosaurs lurking around every corner. We stayed for lunch which was delicious with plenty of choice and really friendly staff. We then went into the playbarn which was so much fun. We soon grabbed a hessian sack and made for the slides. Thank you for a lovely day out. We will certainly visit again when we are next visiting Cornwall.

"The Penguin feeding is great"

Had a brilliant day out here. Lots to see and do and get involved in. The penguin feeding is great. My daughter particularly enjoyed feeding the farm animals.
The grounds are maintained beautifully.
All the staff are very helpful and polite and the facilities are excellent.
The soft play is amazing, the slides are brilliant, iv never seen anything like them, even though I couldn’t bring myself to go down the tallest red one, but my 3 year old daughter put me to shame going down 3 times.
My husband thought he lost his wedding ring on the wave slide and we were sad to think it was one gone, but with one phone call the helpful staff found it and returned it special delivery which we are very thankful for.
We had a great day out here, thank you Paradise Park.
