The impressive Scarlet Macaw Spectacle is at the end of the 3pm show. You will be moved by the sight of these stunningly beautiful parrots flying out of their aviary and soaring into the sky. Another great photo opportunity.
Have a cockatoo fly to your hand! A unique and fun way for the staff and birds to fundraise for Paradise Park’s conservation projects. You have the opportunity to go up on the main stage at the end of the 3pm ‘Free Flying Bird Show’ to give a £1 or £2 donation. Roseate Cockatoos Billy, Rizzo or Rio will be ready to fly to your hand, collect the coin, fly back to the presenter and place it into the collection tin. Great fun and a very popular experience, all for a good cause.
Please note that the daily shows are subject to change or cancellation due to weather (high winds/heavy rain).
Part of an emailed review to the Park — From Cassie and family
A wonderful and worthwhile day out!
Fantastic indoor and outdoor play! The huge indoor JungleBarn play centre is fabulous fun whatever the weather. With giant slides, suspended rope bridge, fireman’s pole, spinning discs, multi-level soft play with lots of climbing and sliding, challenging soft play and a toddlers’ zone. It’s great fun for all ages.
Plus, explore the outdoor Paradise Island playground. Children can climb the towers, slide into the 'river' and ride a rocking dolphin.
On good weather days Zebedee, the Jungle Express Train will be out for a spin! Board the train near the picnic lawn and set off through the gardens of Glanmor House on a small route of two circuits around the house grounds (not the whole Park). Includes the top section of Parrot Jungle, a trip through a tunnel with Twinkly lights leading to behind the scenes at the back of the house. There is a small extra charge, and train times can be checked upon arrival.
For refreshments, the Otter Pool Cafe serves locally made cakes and pasties to delicious Ploughman’s lunches and hot dishes. You’re always welcome take your own food and drink and enjoy the picnic areas around the Park.
If one day is not enough, then great value Return Tickets are available. Visit once at standard entry prices (minus any discount if available), and you can then buy a a great value Return Ticket before you leave, which pays for your next visit in the season (the scheme restarts every Easter).
Plenty of free parking. Please use Sat Nav TR27 4HY.
