Amazing place. Heaven for kids. So much to do.

Great park with excellent staff. We booked for our 8 and 10 year olds to do the reptile experience. Simon, our host, was amazing. He was very welcoming, engaging and insightful. He is a huge asset to the park.

Great day out, lots to do and lots of animals to see. Knowledgeable, friendly keepers and animals had space and well kept enclosures. Lunch was good and not crazily priced.

So much for our toddler to see and do, animals, rides and play areas were all well presented and looked after, staff friendly and helpful, definitely recommend for younger children!

We came for the sloth experience for my daughter, we were so impressed with how well run and clean and tidy the park is. Staff were all extremely friendly. Lots of animals to see and plenty to enjoy even if you don’t have young children. Food we had was also very nice. Would highly recommend.

Very expensive. Nice park, if you go just for the animals and not the children's stuff, then be advised it takes only just over an hour to walk around. At a push two hours to do two rounds.

Came here with my husband and 2.5 year old. The park is perfect for younger kids - it’s a whole mini theme park and zoo at a reasonable price. We arrived at midday so there was no queue at all, by 4pm the park has quietened down (not that it ever felt too crowded or busy) and we took advice on the website to do the theme park first and then the zoo for the best experience and to avoid crowds which is what we did and it worked out perfectly. We walked around much of the zoo area on our own! Would definitely come back here! Very impressed

It's hugely expensive and, if you've seen the animals before, then it's poor value for money unless you're animal mad. I'd like to take my grandson but it'll cost me £75 to get in, plus extra for food etc. They charge the adult price for children aged two and over. That's just not acceptable.

Waste of money! I took the little girl I nurse for (she's in a wheelchair with complex needs). I was beyond disappointed for the animals mainly. They charge each person, adult and child £40 entry and the animals have enclosures smaller than my small bathroom. The only animal I thought had a decent home was the mice and that's because of their size. Honestly.....when you're charging THAT much money for entry, in today's age.....I could have closed my eyes and been in a zoo in Asia.....it would have made sense. I'm embarrassed that this zoo was in the UK and that with the knowledge we have today, it should be better. Play stuff for kids is nice.....basically.....humans are the priority here, not animals. They should probably relocate the animals to a nicer place and just make it a much bigger play area for kids....it would be far better that way! I will never visit again or advise anyone else to. Drusillas....please help your animals!

Great day out with little ones pricey but good

A fun day out for the family. They mainly have "smaller" animals (no elephants, tigers, gorillas etc) but it is still enjoyable and the theme park/water playground (which is included in the price) is a nice way to end the day with a picnic.

This is and always has been a great park to enjoy a day out with kids. Always very clean with well cared for animals. Even the cafe is worth a visit. I excellent food served by pleasant people.

Had a meerkat experience was really good highly reccomend.

Kids loved it so much that we upgraded our tickets to annual passes. Loads of animals, playground and things to see and do. Computer games hall, giant slide, and attractions. Recommend getting tickets the night before for a discount, more expensive on the day.

A brilliant day out with lots of variety for the children. Plenty of activities.

Beautifully laid out park! Amazing choice of activities for children under thr age of 10. It did put us off due to the price however we used club card vouchers to gain entry. The splash park is ideal on a sunny day we did have rain unforgettable but it didn't stop the children having fun! Amazing day out and once I have more vouchers we will go again.

I've not been to Drusillas for over 8 years, it's always been a brill day out. They have a great variety of animals to see and can tell so much care has gone into the enclosures. Although have to say the Otter enclosure didn't look very enriching for them with just one small muddy pool. And the otter we saw didn't seem well at all (perhaps not due to the enclosure, but was sad to see an otter so stationary n coughing). We did let park staff know to check on the otter before we left.

I usually avoid places like this during the summer holidays but it was actually pretty good fun. It didn't feel manic, and loads to keep the kids busy, kept a four yr old and nine yr old entertained from 10 until 4. Expensive but you get a full day's fun for your money.

First visit, absolutely loved it. Everything was clean and well maintained. The zoo was brilliant, with good exhibits (even saw a red panda, after many years of trying). Recommend to anyone with pre teen kids.

We live locally in Brighton (about a 20 minute drive) and this visit our first (and now will be last) visit. I pre-booked and paid for two tickets and then a carers ticket for me as my son has SEND needs and has been given a Compass Card from AMAZE who support disabled children on behalf of Brighton Council. They have also provided me with a Carers Card. Upon arrival at the counter I was told my sons Compass card and my Carers card were not sufficient proof for a carers entry. I spoke with a supervisor/manager who also said the same. I argued that these cards for my SEND child and myself were provided by Brighton council but was met with the answer of "How do we know the Carers card and SEND Compass card are connected?" - THIS IS APPALLING and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Have a child with a disability is difficult enough without then being questioned and frankly told that his disability isn't sufficient enough to warrant a free carers entry. SHAME ON YOU! This is a 1 start experience. Completely not how to treat customers. The park itself was good. We spent four hours there. My son enjoyed himself on the rides and the splash zone. Overall everything was slightly overpriced from the ticket price to the food. You could not pay me to go back and i'll be sharing this experience on all social platforms and review sites.

Amazing place, we come at least twice a year, always lovely, clean, animals are well looked after, always have so much fun, daughter absolutely loves it!

A place for the whole day - from morning to evening. The animals are all clean, cheerful and odorless. Wet play area is very fun. Do not forget towels and bathing suits for children. In my opinion, there are not enough points of healthy, useful food

We went on a Friday during the summer holiday. Booked online and went straight in. It was busy, but there is plenty to look at and move around. Little wait for the rides, but some we got straight on. We loved the animal themed rides. A great range of animals to see and could interact with animals. Very clean all around and friendly staff. We thought the pricing was a little step for a family of six, but we were there for the full opening hours and felt we had our moneys worth. Highly recommend and was worth the over an hour drive

Great and Fun place to visit for the children. Expect for the animals there isn't much to do for the adults.

It’s good but it stinks of fish innards for some reason

We came to Drusillas for an experience day and really, really enjoyed it. We got to help make the feed for the capybaras/beavers and go and feed them and give them a good cuddle. The staff throughout the day were extremely helpful and friendly. The experience was one of the best I've ever done and I definitely have a new favourite animal now in the sweet beavers! The range of animals at Drusillas is fantastic and they are so so interactive for the kids. There are activity booklets dotted around free for the kids to use and a huge playground that looked awesome. There are plenty of food areas to choose from, a free arcade, a cute little train, a maze.. I can't list all the reasons you should bring kids here. We will be back for the Anteater experience!

Fantastic day out , extremely clean and so much fun.

Was taken on a surprise birthday trip with friends with an animal encounter with the two Anteaters. Thoroughly enjoyed my day out, the animals were obviously well cared for and you could see active effort taken in improving enclosures which was lovely to see. There are parts of the park which seems dated but ultimately you get to laugh at and enjoy anyway (the singing chickens and Dracula was a highlight) Parts of the park seem quite cramped but weren't day ruining at all but something to consider if you enjoy larger spaces to walk around. The animal encounter was fantastic, the keeper was informative and I got to see behind the scenes and have a generally nice chat with a professional and safely feed and interact with the animals in a way that they obviously enjoyed. All staff (keepers, admin and hospitality) were helpful, informative and friendly. Down a star because a small handful of enclosures were not necessarily ideal space wise or design wise and at times the park is very loud with animatronics and other stuff. However, it is clear that enclosures are being updated in areas. The capybara enclosure was beautiful to see.

Great family day out with lots of animals to see. There is also a splash park and big adventure playground.

Amazing. once you pay to get in lots of free things to do. it's cheaper to buy tickets online before you go.

Great day out gorgeous younger children. The animals although not particularly spectacular, are great to look at and all seemed pretty happy. My favourite was the sloth who lives with the bat's. The rides were free and plentiful. Picnic areas are provided and there are food outlets on site. All I'm all a lovely day out

We went here for the first time yesterday and even though it was the summer holidays it wasn’t busy at all! Our son was entitled to the ride access pass and this was given to us at the entrance. We didn’t ask for this and was given it automatically, we were so grateful as he really struggles with queuing due to a medical condition. Although, we didn’t use it once as there were hardly any queues anyway. The zoo is lovely and really well kept. Everywhere is clean and tidy and the staff were polite and helpful. We were very impressed with Drusillas and will definitely be returning.

Food for children wasn't a great choice, but the animals etc were all enjoyed

It was a nice day out with the family.

Lovely place to visit with small children. Wait times for rides were fantastic and the park area was amazing. Well thought out for a great day with little ones.

Went here on a school trip for my son’s school. A lot to do here. Was good to see so many of the animals.

More than a zoo. The carers are happy to tell you something about their protégés. There are also rides and a huge playground here. We were here all day. If the weather is nice, don't forget your bathing suit.

We had a fablous time, it wasn't busy, but we were a little lucky. The food was super quick and good. Fantastic animals, some you can feed and walkthrough with them. There's also rides for younger children

Awesome day out for the kids and the adults! The animals were all out. They're all well looked after and theres so many different types of monkeys. The rides were all available for the kids which was great. No qué times either. The bacon burger was spot on. Weather was decent. Splash park and children's adventure park was great. So much for the kids to enjoy! Would highly recommend this place to anyone with kids! Loved it

The actual zoo was good however the food place was not great the peas where cold and taste like plastic the gluten free nuggets taste like cardboard, however the normal nuggets and fries are good. The water is £2.25! Also whilst eating there are mice running around and people screaming.

A really great day out. Very much geared towards children but still enjoyed it.

Amazing Zoo! I went with my Fiancé and we both loved it! It is mainly for children, as the zoo is catered towards kids, but it is definitely a great date idea. It is quite expensive to go though. Tickets should be lower

We get a yearly membership every year and absolutely love it! The staff are very friendly. It’s clean and tidy. The animals seem very content and the restaurant does Lovely food. It would be nice if the restaurant sold food from The Cafe area as we don’t always want a sit down meal so a hot dog would be great.

Regularly take our 3 year old grand daughter and shebloves every minute. Soft play is great and the rides are well maintained. We also love checking out the large variety of animals. Great day out

Nice zoo, great animals and attractions. I went on a weekday and found that 2 of the 3 cafes were closed, the cafe that was open was okay, apart from thr fact there was 2 wild mice running around in the restaurant area and the staff didn't do anything even when notified so I quickly left.

What agreat day out, there were 14 of us today ranging from 1 all the way through to 78years old, fun for everyone 😀

Really enjoyed it today. Well thought out and maintained attraction. There is loads to do. The food is good!

Great day out for kids. My grandson is t easy to please and says he definitely wants to go again!

We had a lovely family day out here. Went round the zoo twice and each time saw different animals. The playground, soft play and rides were a big hit and we ended up staying for 6 hours.

Another lovely day grandchildren had a great time 👍

Went on our kids school inset day, we had the park to ourselves it was fantastic.

Fantastic day out with the grandson and daughter. Really enjoyable, all the staff were friendly and engaging, rides kept the little interested and the zoo route was really good and very well done. Great place.

Nice time at the park. I thought it was very expensive for young familes but I’m sure they have high running costs. My only comment that was negative is that for older or disabled people there are not enough seating enroute. They need benches for people to take a rest break on the way around. Or sit while family are in the exhibits. I struggled with out a place to rest a few minutes. There are plenty of spaces for some much needed seating. A nice day out.

Dusilla has changed alot had great time only down side was food in oasis which sold burgers nuggets hot dog chips etc was awful my burger was incinerated both sides uneatable absolute shocking 11.50 for uneatable burger and chips obviously the person can't do a simple burger and should not think it's acceptable. Spoilt day and family food same .30/624

We had an absolutely amazing Home Ed trip. Highly recommended!! Well worth the day out.

A lovely park for the kids, we did feel it was pricey before we went but wanted to do it once and probably wouldn't visit again purely due to the price. If it was cheaper we may venture down more often. But for the one time I've given it 5 stars, the parks were great and you can see they do invest the money back into the business. Great rides for the kids, animals and such all great. Nothing to complain about. Enjoyed the experience

There is so much for children to do at Drusillas. My kids loved it. The animals are very well kept and accessible to viewing points for the guests. The kids play areas are extensive and my daughters loved them. Plentiful food options.

Great value for money loads to do for kids, fun fair rides, water splash park( bring change of clothes & towel) great play park too.

Didn't know this existed until we drove past and glad we did. We went in with our little one and had a great day, there's so much more to do here than it looks.

Our 11 yr old son is crazy about Sloth's, so we came down from Scotland for a visit today. They also loved the splashpark and adventure bit. Being 12 and 11 they didnt do any off the rides as too big for them now. But we were still at Drusillas for over 7 hours. Would defo recommend a visit to Drusillas Park.

Picked a boiling hot day to go, I had the Lemur experience and it was fab, I've forgotten the name of the young lady who lead it for us, but she was awesome, very informative and lovely. Plenty to do, the splash pad was super busy and it created some arguments, there doesn't seem to be anywhere close to get changed, so you have to go over to the toilets, fishers farm have little shed things to change in, which is handy when assisting a less able disabled child. Love all the little rides dotted around are free to use, I think we got our monies worth for them alone. We had an access ride pass, but didn't actually use it, as what we went on didn't have much of a queue.

Excellent family day out for younger children. I would recommend under 12! Lots to do and not too big that you can't do everything in a day but good enough that you want to come back!

Lots of things to see and do. Places to get food, plenty of toilet facilities and parking. Staff are very informative and keen to share knowledge about the animals. Check for discount on tickets if you buy ahead.

It was ok it was lovely and clean and the staff were very helpful but they cannot justify charging that much on the entrance fee it is extortionate compared to some of the bigger zoos! Sadly we won’t be returning id rather travel further but it was a nice day!

Perfect outing for our brownies.

Amazing place great for all ages, even feed the birds

Great Zoo/Park for school trips or general family day out. There is so mych to donhere. Great zoo, with sonmany interactive games for children, plus wet play area, rides, play area with many activities, jungle gym, cafes and food joints, souvenir shop is expensive, Great place to easily spend whole day. Suitable for all ages.

Great day out with family. Plenty to keep the little ones occupied

Overall, it's a good day out. The zoo is good, and animal enclosures are well kept. Catering on site though was extremely expensive for mediocre low quality food. Service at food counters was also poor. For example, you get your hot overpriced food, then have to wait ages to get a coffee or tea as there's nowhere near enough staff. £3.50 for a tap soft drink that's flat and with no unlimited refill is a massive rip-off. My advice is to take a picnic

Great day out with kids, with loads of animals to see. Remember to pick up the challenge leaflet through the entrance for the children to use through the park using stamps along the way of what they have seen. They also have a family of bats you can visit inside face to face. A whole flock of love birds you can feed for £2, diffinenty a plus with the kids... You will also find many rides to go on which is included with entrance price... I always book online the day before to get the discount rate. Food wise their is plenty available and also benches where u can enjoy ur own picnic.

Best theme park and zoo we've been to by a long shot with a 3 year old. So much to do well worth booking online to save the extra money too, plus you can take your own picnic

Absolutely amazing animals and loved how they are kept with plenty of room and activities xxxx my only complaint is my son is autistic and will only eat minimal things and when I asked for 10 chicken nuggets the lady said they were £2.00 each !!!!!! So that would have been £20.00 for 10 which is extortionate.

Such a fun day out for everyone. Would highly recommend. We managed to get in using Kids Pass, which gave us 25% off.

Had a wonderful day at Drusillas with my family today. Lovely to see the new areas & all staff very friendly. Great customer service from Megan who kindly helped me with a ticket mix-up on my part. Great work, thank you Megan! You saved the day

Fantastic day out! We took our almost 3 year old and our baby. The place is fabulous, clean, easy to access and easy for our 3 year old to see everything; it’s so well thought out. Our daughter loved all the animals, particularly the penguins, camels and coatis and especially the enclosures with staff on hand to tell you a bit more about the creatures on show. Everything she was told by the excellent staff and volunteers was totally appropriate for her age and her understanding. The water park was a huge hit, as was the train ride around the zoo. Lunch was easy and we found a nice accessible table with a view of the train station. We had a fabulous day out! And will be back! Thank you Drusillas!

Had a great time here, it's so much more than just a zoo -- it's a play park and a load of rides! Once you get in, just about everything is included. Spent 5 hours there and only left because our granddaughter was exhausted!

It's a brilliant zoo and has lots of great options for kids of all ages, my only issue is the fact they don't have a child ticket price which is insane. We went for the membership as it's decent value but one suggestion would be offering a monthly payment option. Food is decent the jacket potatoes and the wedges are amazing some items are over priced like the sausage rolls and pasties, but my only issue is the drinks as they have the lunch box options which include a carton of juice with sandwiches, fruit and snack and that is £6/7 I think the cartons are £2 which is shocking but next to them they are selling mini fizzy pop bottles which are cola and bubblegum for 50p..... I think that needs to be look into a fizzy drink is cheaper than a carton of juice not best for kids.

Some of the finest and rapidly served cuisine I’ve ever had in a cardboard box

Great day out as there's loads to do. Highly recommended for little ones from 1 year old up. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Lots of different animals that seem very happy and well looked after.

Fantastic fun for all the family. The farm is fab, and the kids enjoyed the rides and the play area outside. Great quick service for food too and very tasty. The place is well kept and the staff are friendly.

A good day out with the grandkids, not cheap but reasonable vale

Great for kids. Lots to see and do. Food overpriced, but you can take a picnic.

Amazing day out with the young one's, kept us busy all day.

Well signed zoo route. A lot to do for the whole family. A day is not enough for it. Good fun for everyone, not cheap though.

Great day with lots to do and plenty of places to eat. Ideal for under 5s.

Amazing park , very well run , clean and what looks to be a high standard of animal care. Even though we went at a busy time you could access and glimpse all the animals , the close up interaction was brilliant and the staff were very knowledgeable. I had a red panda feeding experience and Freya was brilliant explaining all the food , techniques and history of the 2 pandas. We ate there and the food was reasonably priced and very good quality. Parking and directions are simple. Would highly recommend going, ideal for kids but also great for adults.

A bit more expensive than I expected but worth the money. Seating around the park in places are too far apart so made it a struggle for me who has a problem with walking. There are no mobility scooters available, only the ones where you need a companion. As I went on my own, I left in a lot of pain. This is the only reason for the low rating.

Brilliant day out for the kids and adults. The animals are well setup and the viewing points make it easy to see them. The layout of the park is great, leading you to the play area and food at the end of the walk. The water area is a great addition and the kids really enjoyed splashing about in the sun. Will definitely be back 👍

Fantastic family day out! The zoo has so many interesting animals across a range of biomes, and there are some excellent rides too!

There is plenty of entertainment for kids a day.

This placed is a pisstake. Nearly £90 to get in for the three of us and you are given at the time of booking that everything is included. When your in you soon realise that you have to pay extra for alot of the rides. So basically your paying £90 for a small zoo and a couple of fair ground rides.

Bad weather on the day of visit. All staff gave their best under trying circumstances Well done all.

I was given a voucher for my birthday to be a keeper for the day absolutely loved it and can't thank elysie enough for making it so great fun and very interesting all the staff are amazing caring and very knowledgeable. Would totally recommend it.a massive thank you from both my husband and I 😊

Granddaughter loved it, not cheap but if you stay the whole day it's worth it.

Love drusllias, the girls had a great time

We had a really enjoyable day at Drusillas Park! We weren't sure if the ticket price would be worth it, however we spent 6 hours there and could have definitely stayed longer had the kids not got tired. The park is really well laid out. The animals are cute and plentiful and there are activities to do while seeing them, the rides are prefect for young kids (a little scary/exciting and totally safe), plenty indoor and outdoor play areas. If we stayed in the local area we would definitely get an annual membership, but it's a fun filled day trip. Highly recommended for families with young children!

We went to visit today. a family of 4 and the grandparents. So all together, 4 adults 2 children. Is was £37.00 each. So a family day out was going to be over £200. We turn around a left. We understand the costs of things have risen and that they do good work with the animals. But this is ALOT for one family day out.

The park is very well thought out and has a lot to do. First you follow the route through the zoo to see the animals, who are well cared for. There are a lot to see, allow 1 to 2 hours for this Then you arrive at the playground, cafe and soft play area. There is a covered area for packed lunches. Indoor soft play has a cafe. It's clean and very good, the outdoor play area is also great, and within sight of the food seating areas. You've then got the mini train, arcade and fairground rides at the end. Overall we managed to spend four hours in the park when it was tipping it down with rain, it was still excellent. You pay only for food you buy and the park entrance ticket, which is a really sensible approach - all rides are free. If you buy in advance you get a discounted price of approx £30 per head. Under 2yo go free.

It was very expensive to go it nearly £70 for two of us

Drusillas is a beautifully laid out zoo. Monkeys, meerkats, penguins, lynx and sloths are but a few of the residents. The Sloth experience is worth every penny. A private tour through the kitchen to prep veg then into the sloth enclosure via the zookeepers entrance. Megan our guide was fabulous from start to finish. Interesting, engaging and very knowledgeable, she was keen to ensure we had a great time. Highly recommend a trip here (especially during term time as it was very peaceful)
