Excellent day out for all the family. Lovely zoo with a well layed out one way system to follow. The parks are massive. Plenty of activities for all ages. A couple of gift shops, and a few rides. Rides are suitable for adults and children. Has a splash park, which is perfect for hot days. We all had a fantastic day out! Im not sure what the food is like as we took a picnic, but there are plenty of food outlets and picnic benches available.

Great little zoo, the animals are clearly well looked after and fed. Some good varieties. The staff were very friendly and approachable, clearly take pride in their work which is great to see. Fantastic play park/splash zone which is great in the current heat! Food and drink were reasonable. Very much recommend and I look forward to my next visit.

Absolutely wonderful and educational visit to Drusillas! Highly recommend a day out there, especially on a weekday if you can as no queues or busyness to contend with. Rides were great fun too but you need to time it right as they are all working at different times. Fantastic splash park area and adventure playgrounds… so much to do it’s hard to do it all in one day! If you book as a home educating group you get a special educational session as well with a park ranger and animal encounters.

Great day out for the family. Lots of things to do and explore. From visiting the animals, to the soft play, the rides and the multiple playgrounds! I went on a school holiday and during the week. School holiday, it was busy! Took about 10 minutes to get in and was getting squished to the end of the zoo! Then good luck finding a place to sit down and eat! Week day was so much better. Now que. Not busy at all, just a few other family's so we had plenty of space to take our time and get to see ll yhe little facts scattered around drusilas. It was a great experience for kids. Public transport is ideal to and from here. Plenty of space for parking!
