English Wine Centre in Wealden

As a visitor to the area, this was my first visit to Drusilla's. What a wonderful experience it was too. Much more than a Zoo, but also a mini theme park as well. No big animals apart from a couple of Camels, so more of the ground dwelling rodent types & small monkeys. What I did like was the brilliant one way system they have in the zoo (follow the arrows) so you don't miss any of the animals, which is a common occurrence at other Zoos. After you've seen all the animals, you can take your little ones to all sorts of play areas, inside and out. We had a fantastic time & if I lived closer , I'd certainly buy an annual pass as it's great value for money.

Good if you are a kid. But expensive with additional charges once inside.

Great place, friendly staff, used clubcard vouchers so was a bargain day out. Perfect for little ones.

Family Friendly. Clean. Not too sure i agree with 5.00 charge for the big blow up slide. Feel if you pay entry this should be free. Food is also expensive however everything else and attractions and animals in park in my opinion make up for this. Would give 4 star. Would of been 5 if slide was free and food cheaper.

Absolute rip off, everything is so expensive and they only had each ride going for 15 minutes every hour so you couldn't go on much, if this is something they do in quiet time or due to lack of staff at least half the price of entry and warn people first... very disappointed and won't be going back.

Wonderful day! Great exhibits and the little ones enjoyed the rides.

Amazing place for children and adults. The animals are well kept and cared. Wonderful staff too

It’s a decent day out for a family with little ones but I’ve always been put off by the prices. I was right to be put off as there are other local attractions which are as good, maybe better, for far less money and I resent spending £120+ for a day out. If it were cheaper I’d be much more inclined to go back.

Love it here, we've got an annual membership & coming during the week is amazing as its fairly quiet, had lots of lovely animals to enjoy, plus a great indoor softplay, outdoor playareas, splash pad for nice weather, great rides, a lovely maze, & an additional snesory room at wkends. great day out 😊

Went just before Christmas so it was a cold day but it was great to have lots of covered areas to veiw the animals which I didn't expect. Nearly all of the animals could be veiwed, inside there dens (some didn't want to venture out), there is plenty to see and do to keep kids and adults entertained for hours and hours. The cafe's are spacious too with plenty of seating inside and out.

Good.. Fun for kids.. Bit pricey though.. Even with membership.. (standard) which I believe is enough to be able to play with everything at the zoo.. But they want gold membership to be able to do that. In this case it's very expensive!

the staff offered my dawg some zoots. not impressed with this enclosure. have spoken to the rspb.

this park is such an amazing thing and is HIGHLY recommended. there are penguins and a part you can see them underwater! the rides are so fun! there is a cheetah one that sends you really high and a twirling hippo. it has a massive fun maze with fun little surprises in every corner. my favorite part is the dinosaur animations. they felt so real and cool! unreadable park. visit it because you are going to have an increadible time! By George aged 11

Cute animals and exciting rides!

Mini theme park zoo amazing family venue

We love coming to Drusillas and do come often, as we have the yearly pass. My daughter loves looking at the animals (there are lots to see), the cheetah ride, the carousel and the jungle cars and loves the soft play too, it's nice they have a play section for the older kids and a little area for the little ones (my daughter is 1). It is well worth getting the yearly ticket (you need to go 3 times to make it worth it!), but it is great that it is open all year round and over school holidays. They have a good food selection across all the restaurants. It's a shame the farm section has closed, but it is exciting to see what will be put in its place 😀 Thank you Sarah and Ava x

Fantastic place! All three of my daughters (3,8 and 11) loved their visit on Easter Monday so much that we brought an annual membership. All the staff in the park were so friendly and attentive. Everything was well maintained and clean.

Not too busy for Easter Monday. All attractions were open.

Lovely family outing! Didn't have to wait to go on the rides. Recommend this park to anyone wanting a family outing. The zoo part is amazing as well.

Was brilliant clean and tidey went for car show to had brilliant day out would highly recommend so many lovey animals and cars

£116 for 3people is a considerable difference to £78 if booked online a day before. Nice creatures though. The rides are really for small kids not big ones.

I was really impressed with the changes that have been made since 2021 when I last visited Drusillas. There's so much to do for the children and plenty of places to eat and grab yourself a coffee or tea.

Absolutely lovely zoo, park and rides but quite expensive. Two adults one child cost us £38 each child didn’t get a discount which was rather surprising and frustrating.

My little one loved it and it was lovely to see a lot of staff around to help and give info about the animals that they were near

A fantastic day out for all the family. Park was super clean, lots to see and do and most importantly the kids absolutely loved it. Highly recommend and will certainly be visiting again.

First of all getting in was great no queues what so ever. Plenty of animals to have a look at. Luckily the animals were up and lively compared to the other zoos. The only thing that let me down was the food. The tables were not clean and didn’t look like they had been cleaned in years. Absolutely disgusting. Apart from that my experience was overall pleasant but would not go back.

Drusillas Park is a fantastic destination for families with kids, offering a zoo with adorable animals, rides, play areas, picnic spots, and a fun water play activity. With its variety of attractions and activities, it's an ideal spot for a fun-filled day out with the whole family!

Fantastic place to take children for the entire day. Animals, play area and picnic spots.

Keeper of the day was great, thank you

Visited for the first time and had an absolutely amazing time! Let me start by saying we do loads of days out, experiences and have visited multiple countries and this is one of the best days out we've had! The choice of animals was amazing, really get a chance to observe them up close (we loved feeding the birds). My boys don't usually care for outdoor play areas as they've got older (9 & 10 years old) but they were entertained for hours, the rides were great and I personally loved that none of them were scary, perfect level of enjoyment. The splash are was really good when it was working we sadly didn't get to use it for long due to "technical issues" we waited hours but it was never turned back on. Would be nice to have include more healthy food options, the food was OK but I personally wouldn't mind paying a bit more for options other than fast food and sandwiches. Overall an amazing family day we arrived at opening and left at closing time, it would be good to offer a return next day half price like some other attractions offer as we would definitely book a hotel and come twice if there was an offer... Maybe something to consider in the future? We will be returning in a few weeks as we loved it so much!

Lovely day, all one could wish for in an entertaining day for ones children. One negative was a very.stressed pangolin, with very small enclosure and constant walking backwards and forwards. No stimulation, no space really upsetting to witness. Really does need work to improve this animals life immediately.

Super small zoo. Quite expensive unless you book ahead and/or get discount through offers. Very busy and crowded though.

Fantastic day out for the kids, something for everyone..

Drusillas is good and practical because you don't get lost around. There are various activities but need investment and some changes. Needs more places to eat, more shops for kids, and more animals. Needs places for kids to get changed when using the paddling pool because toilets are not practical and clean. Prices for bouncy inflatable were a little bit expensive £5 just for one. A reasonable price for families is £2.50 max £3. The outdoor - indoor playground is good. Not was crazy busy, not big queue to wait for your next rides.

Great place, people are lovely and lots for kids to do and see, lots of places to eat and plenty of toilets dotted around which is great when you have little ones, will definitely be going again

Excellent for families, with lots of smaller animals, low viewing thresholds for little kids, and large play area. All rides are included.

Great for kids. I took a bus load of primary school children. They loved it.

Excellent day out,so much to see,amazing 👍👍👍

An absolutely gorgeous place to visit, excellent customer service, beautiful walks, animals are kept clean and tidy . Only had one eateries open, needed more on the day

A fantastic park to take the kids, we visited over a weekend in March and the park was not busy at all meaning we could get onto every ride multiple times. The only downside was having to pay for tokens for the climbing wall, inflatable slide and panning for gold. All in all a great day out for the family. Need to buy tickets before you go as a massive saving.

Really enjoyed my visit with baby! Here’s to more visits as she grows up, YAY

Brilliant day out. 4 stars because I think charging for the sensory room is a bit unfair after paying a lot to get into the park.

Brilliant day out. Hadn’t been here since I was a child but brought my daughter here for her 2nd birthday and so glad we did. Plus on a Monday had the place almost to our self which was an extra touch!

Great place for my 2 year old son, he loves all the animals and the rides,

Love it! So good for kids of all ages. The annual membership is excellent value and means we can visit for just 1-2hrs at a time.

Brilliant day out in the Spring sunshine. Easy viewing of the animals and plenty of space in the play areas. My only gripe is the hot food available in the cafe - could do with some salad items and pasta as an alternative to chips. Otherwise reasonable value.

A great day out for the kids!! Children absolutely loved the interactive areas of the zoo, the play park and the rides. Some animal enclosures felt quite small for the animals.

Fantastic Zoo which seems much more focused on the visitors than other zoos, great enclosures and the animals seem well cared for, but the way in which visitors can view the animals seems thought through. Thomas tank engine has gone but that's no great shame, same train now has a jungle theme My daughter loved HelloKitty land as well as Thomas Tank Engine! - definently going back there in 2015 Update 2025 many things have changed, but still amazing for younger kids Update 2 renewed annual pass and upgraded to gold... Update. Bought an annual pass as it's great

Lovely day out, although we went in March so should imagine it's packed in the summer. Beautifully maintained and the animals are well cared for.

A mixed day of fun. The animals were great, a good range of games and activities. But the pricing is wild. £2.50 for a can of coke. 4.50 for a small box of chips. £3.10 for a cornetto. It's already a high price just to get in but then to have pay to do parts like the spark room. £3 per child and £3 per adult to enter a small room with a slide and interactive walls. Almost unbelievable to be charged £3 for myself when I'm there just to supervise my kids. Unless of course you don't want me to supervise. - (the kids couldn't enter without me.) Then they have a arcade room which is free to play. Such a mixed experience. In response to Drusillas comments. I'm very aware of inflation. Your prices are well above inflation and above being reasonable. Who are the customers who tell you they are reasonable. Charging a parent to be able to enter a room to babysit their child is crazy. There's no way of suger coating it. Maybe drop the charge for the parents. But yeah like I said the animals parts were great. Family had a good time. Just some bits that stop the enjoyment

Fabulous little zoo with a great variety of Animals. The cafe prices were also quite reasonable and the service was quick I had a hot chocolate and a big slab of rocky road cake which was around £5 and it was really nice. The zoo was busy but didn’t stop me from seeing everything. All the animals were out and enjoying the sunshine ☀️ there was a little train for the kids which went around the zoo and there’s a huge climbing/play park for them too, the views of the outside area if you stand on the bridge by the monkey enclosure were stunning the hills were covered in Snow. Well worth a visit I managed to get some money off my entrance fee too as I found an online voucher so payed around £16 to get in. Nice place to go lots to see and the Lorikeets were one of my favourites 🦜

Went at the weekend in March. Wasn't too busy and hardly any queues for the rides. We had the best time.

We've had a lovely day out at Drusillas today, the sun was shining and all of the animals were out enjoying it too .My 3 year old grandson went on most of the rides, and thouroughly enjoyed watching the animals, especially the otters swimming and the Gophers/prarie dogs. We had fresh doughnuts at a good price ! A good day out !

A lovely day out with plenty to do, great facilities and the food was good quality. The only issue I had was the ticket prices, charging the same amount for anyone over 2 is ridiculous tbh, at a place like this I don't think adults should be paying so much but the kids had a fantastic day

Fantastic place to visit, this was mine and my daughter's first visit and will definitely be returning

A lovely small zoo. Great play area and soft play. A day well spent.

We visited the Zoo rather than the amusement park which is very focussed on young children. Tickets were quite expensive and zoo was good but not as extensive as a full sized zoo, albeit ticket price wasn't lower

Amazing place for a family visit. Seemed rather expensive but there are special offers.

Wonderful selection of small animals, that you can see up close. Well kept and very clean. Great park and rides. Cafe was OK, small selection of food which was a bit pricey.

Great place for family day out. Good value and lots of good food, rides and animals in the zoo

Great day out ! Plenty to see and do

Was a lovely day with lots to c and do

Absolutely loved this place obviously sometimes some areas were extremely busy but that's expected when you go on a school holiday Friday wished I had longer there I really recommend a visit 😀

Great little zoo something for all ages we will be going back.

Good animals with improved enclosure but, dear god, the service is slow. Waited over 40 minutes to get two portions of chips and 2 cokes.

Decent place. Awful food options which are chronically understaffed. If you want to wait 30-40 mins for a coffee having shelled out for expensive tickets this is the place for you. Bring your own food and drinks and it’s ok.

Over 50 minutes in the queue. Only 2 cashiers in such a busy day! Unacceptable! Inside staff weren't sure what they doing and how to manage guests. If not animals, we wouldn't go there anymore

Good for the kids, plenty to keep them entertained. Went in half term, busy but wasn't a problem.

It's expensive . £38 per person . Charges aged 2 and above. However we booked on line and got it for £30. Plus 1 child for £1 when an adult is paying entrance . Meals £10 jacket potatoe. Food and drink expensive and not to our liking. It was very cold and despite the weather a fair few people were at the Venue. Zoo was good. Rides adequate but don't expect Chesington or Legoland. 2 year old grandkids loved it. Parking was onsite and not too far away. Toilets before the entrance and inside. Only 2 cafes within the complex not far from each other. Over all it is a full day out.

It is very nice to go at any time you want to visit Drusillas

Still amazing even when going back 20 years later as a big kid! We did the Armadillo close encounter on a whim and is was worth every penny! We love Tank❤️

Brilliant mini zoo. Strong focus on conservation and ethical zoo practices. Loads of play areas indoor and out for kids. Great food options, self service, indoor and out. The walk-through areas are amazing for getting up close with the animals. Open all year walk-through: sloths and bats. Open all year weekends but not winter weekdays: ring-tailed and black lemurs, plus lorikeet feeding.

Love bringing my children here, Jus unfortunate how much money it cost inside having to pay for each item in the play area, food shops also quite expensive which is sad when you've paid to get into the place

So many animals in one place - just amazing! Food is awful though - I would suggest taking your own lunch

Fabulous day out, worth every penny

Very child friendly, it's a kids' zoo. There are adult bits there, but I went as a couple and felt that it was fefinatly aimed at families with young kids.

The park is a great day for the grandchildren and we have visited several times over the years. It really is dissapointing though that the park cannot afford to install a good hand dryer in the toilets where the softplay area is. Thousands of kids use this facility, surely it cannot be too much to ask for a good quality hand dryer? I would have given five stars but this one item lets the park down ☹

A family-run enterprise. Had a marvellous time. As good as any larger or better known zoo.

We went for the red panda experience and it was absolutely brilliant! The keeper was friendly and knowledgeable (sorry, can't remember his name!) and the pandas were gorgeous 🥰 First time visit for us and we really enjoyed the whole zoo. All the animals looked healthy and happy (including the new baby Sulawesi macaque!) and their enclosures were clean and spacious. Would highly recommend your zoo and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely memorable day!

Fantastic zoo, had the best time! We went just adults and really enjoyed it

Our little one loves this park. We bought season passes which were good value. The park only has small animals and no major species, but perfect for little ones to explore and enjoy. I wouldn't recommend bringing older children as it may be a bit boring for them. The play areas are particularly good, there is indoor and outdoor.

£32.50 for a 3 yo on a wet cold January day. Very poor value .

It isn’t really working that well it has a lot of slides at the bottom and I can not get rid of them abd you keep on showing me this when you aren’t even going to look at this.

We love it here. So many things to do! Soft play, rides and animals. Just wish we lived closer! Love the character days too

My husband and I recently took our two children, aged 10 and 6, to Drusillas Park, and we absolutely loved it! Even in the winter, there was so much to see and do. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were amazed by the variety of animals, and feeding the rainbow lorikeets was definitely the highlight of our visit, it was such a unique and exciting experience! The indoor soft play area was fantastic and kept the kids entertained for hours. We were also really impressed with the food and coffee served on-site, great quality and plenty of options. We enjoyed our visit so much that we decided to purchase the Annual Pass and can’t wait to return many more times throughout the year. Drusillas Park is perfect for families, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!

Drusilla's is an excellent place to take young children. The range of animals is good but not overwhelming. The animals all look to be very well cared for. The playground and soft play areas are great and offer a distraction if the animals are not enough. Be aware that the rides may be timed on less busy periods with not all open at once. Also some food areas may be closed over winter. The food in the main area is adequate and not over priced. I have been visiting this zoo with all of my children over the years and whilst they are ageing out I have always enjoyed it.

Nice place to spend time with kids!

Nice zoo. Staff helpful. Easy to park

It's an absolutely amazing place to take the family to

It's a brilliant place to visit with young children as they have a range of great anemities including soft play and Sparks - their sensory room. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The animals are well looked after in very reasonably sized enclosures.

We went there Thursday 12th for the panda experience. As we'd traveled from near Reading we got there slightly early. EVERYONE was very friendly and we ate at the café beforehand. Nice food and drink, fair priced. The zoo itself is relatively small compared to others but clean, well- presented and animals looked in good condition. Chloe, their keeper, was kind, friendly and knowledgeable and we prepared their food. The 2 red pandas were adorable and the whole encounter was lovely and a little emotional/ moving. It was fantastic and we had a great time thank you all. Only downside is the looped music in some parts which would drive me mad 🤣

Really disabled unfriendly. Staff demands, loudly, and in front of other guests, to see credentials or a blue badge for a toddler. Despite him having buying him a year pass, wearing a hearing aid and on a feeding tube. This isn't even part of the terms of service as listed on their own website. This isn't the first time we had issues here with disabled discrimination. Park itself is nice and lots to see and do for those who don't need support

Enquiring re gift vouchers and membership, two ladies were very helpful. However the reception was extremely noisy/ tinny.. not easy to hear

My eight year old loved it .it was expensive but so much for kids to do its worth it and we will be going here again.

Rain doesn't deter the enjoyment of small children meeting the most fabulous santa again - or seeing the animals

Had a great time today, park was quiet which made it very relaxed to walk around. Most of the rides still a bit too adventurous for child just under 2 but he enjoyed seeing the animals and the decorations. Staff all very friendly and particularly helpful regarding credit for one guest we had booked but was unable to attend due to illness. Will definitely be back in the spring!

Great experience, brilliantly run business :)

I'm not saying you should go to Drusillas just for their potatoes...but you should go for the potatoes and the lemurs ... For full review including photos, see potato_world_and_beyond on Instagram!

2 year old loved it! (Especially the penguins) Play park is huge with loads to do. Very clean and tidy.

Grandson won tickets at Airborne so take his little sister and his nanny and grandad lovely day was had by all
