    Great daily activities

    Enjoy the daily events including, the Eagles of Paradise Display featuring birds of prey like Dakota the Bald Eagle, the Lorikeet feeding experience (small extra charge) , the fascinating afternoon 'Free Flying Bird Show' including Amazon parrots, choughs and others, flying free on the stage and across the picnic lawn. A wonderful experience seeing these amazing birds fly over and around you. Penguin and otter feeding, plus, the massive indoor JungleBarn Play Centre. On good weather days the Jungle Express Train will be out for a spin (small extra charge).

    Fantastic indoor and outdoor play! The huge indoor JungleBarn play centre ensures endless 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.

    "Absolutely brilliant. Normally don’t visit these places when in Cornwall but decided to have a look. Fantastic, clean and tidy and a great array of animals & birds. The bird show is worth the admission alone the red panda Freya was lovely. To top it off the soft play / slides are brilliant for kids and adults alike. Especially Big Red!" Definitely worth a visit. One of the best animal parks I’ve been too (you can read more reviews on the Paradise Park website page 'What People Say'.)

    A wonderful and worthwhile day out!

    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. During the winter please see paradisepark.org.uk for more details.

    If one day is not enough, then great value Return Tickets are available. You only need to pay standard entry prices (minus any discount if available) once a year, and then before you leave you can buy a Return Tickets for your next viisit in the season. Please note the scheme restarts ever Easter.

    A leader in conservation and home to Operation Chough and the World Parrot Trust. A wonderful and worthwhile day out.
