A while back we booked tickets to Summer Evenings in Paradise for last Friday. We were very much looking forward to visiting as we hadn’t visited for a while. We used to be annual members when my daughter was younger but now that she’s in school we don’t get to visit much. Firstly I would like to say how impressed I was with all the improvements that have been made recently. The new ‘Land of the Tigers’ is amazing. We also loved the new dinosaurs and as we were visiting early evening, it was a totally different experience.


We entered and went straight to the safari stage which was very festive. There were dinosaurs the kids could meet, food stalls, giant bubbles or why not take a ride on the Rex Express (this costs £2 pp extra). To get you into the mood, there are ice cream carts for the kids and Pimms carts for the adults. Live Music and Face Painting too. There really is something for everyone, that is on top of all the animals.


We then decided to go for a walk and see some animals, via the Face Painting ladies who were brilliant, this is included in the price of your ticket. Juliet Eve are award winning were taking requests – nothing phased them (half leopard, half zebra, T-Rex, Flamingo just to name a few) and the results were excellent – my daughters lasted until Sunday morning, she was very sad to see it go.

We headed to the Land of The Tigers as we handn’t seen it before and the kids loved watching the fish. The smells coming out of Bamboo Kitchen were amazing and my husband grabbed a meal which he said was very tasty.

Walking around the park were the African Drummers and stilt walkers which the kids loved and created a really nice atmosphere.


All in all, this was a fun, different night out. The perfect night out for the family. My daughter is almost 6 and just loved staying up past her bed time in one of her favourite places. I would highly recommend a visit – don’t delay as they’re only open Fridays and Saturdays until 23 July.

Paradise Wildlife Park opens Land of the Tigers

Paradise Wildlife Park opens Land of the Tigers

by holidaytots

On the 3rd of October The Land of the Tigers habitat opened at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire. The first habitat of its kind in the UK, with at deep pool which will allow you to view the tigers both above ground as well as fully submerged. It is also the first mixed habitat of its kind with the introduction of Koi Carp and Grass Carp in the pool. The two tigers, Aleena and Siberia have settled well into their new habitat.

‘In the wild, Amur tigers are constantly under threat due to negative human impacts, including habitat destruction, poaching, the illegal wildlife trade and many other issues. Paradise’s Land of the Tigers habitat focuses on the illegal wildlife and logging trade where the unsustainable and unlicensed mass destruction of forest leaves the wild Amur tiger endangered to extinction (as classified by the IUCN.)’

The new habitat is structured around themed shipping containers similar to those used to transport chopped down trees within the illegal logging trade. Paradise Wildlife Park wants the new habitat to be a fun day out but to also raise awareness of the danger Aleena and Siberia’s relatives face in the wild.

Paradise CEO Lynn Whitnall had this to say:

“We are very excited to be developing our tiger habitat in 2020.  This will be the second brand new habitat in as many years following the success of our Lion Pride Lands. Land of the Tigers will bring visitors closer to our beautiful tigers than ever before through the incredible underwater viewing part of the habitat. Amur tigers are endangered, so we hope for the patter of tiny paws in the years to come to further contribute to the European Breeding Programmes and continue to show our charities contribution to conservation both in the UK and around the world.”

Paradise is also home to 800 animals, including 10 individual big cats, the largest anaconda on display in the UK and a bespoke World of Dinosaurs, complete with 30 motion censored dinosaurs! Paradise is the perfect day out for the family. Gather your loved ones for an experience like never before at Land of the Tigers to create memories that will last a lifetime.
