Paradise Wildlife Park began life as Broxbourne Zoo in the 1960s and was purchased in 1984 by the Sampson family, who have successfully turned the attraction around. They have made it their mission to create more spacious open enclosures and develop an extensive education programme and more hands-on activities.
Over 400 animals are now on display including lions, tigers, cheetah, zebra, camels, Brazilian tapir, toucans and European wolves.
An Animal Resource Centre houses a veterinary and recovery room, and an animal records and research room.
