Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary

Paradise Park opened in 1973, but years of thought had already been put into the idea of a 'paradise' for birds by its founder Mike Reynolds. He wanted to create a home for his collection of birds, and imagined a sheltered spot with large aviaries set in beautiful gardens.

Now Paradise Park has an international reputation for breeding rare species, is home to the World Parrot Trust charity and was chosen twice by the independent 'Good Britain Guide' as Cornwall's Family Attraction of the Year.

Hundreds of beautiful birds, from parrots to penguins and eagles to flamingoes plus otters, red pandas and red squirrels. In 2004 a group of alpacas will join donkeys and rabbits on the Fun Farm. Many pairs of owls, toucans and cranes have large aviaries and mixed groups of parrots have plenty of flying space. Sheltered exotic gardens with new 'Gazebo Garden'.

A full timetable includes Penguin, Otter and Rainbow Lorikeet feeding. The amazing Free Flying Bird Show allows visitors to admire the beauty and intelligence of the parrot family. The 'Fort Paradise' play area and a wildlife quiz for children to win a badge are favourites too.

Paradise Park is a great choice for a family day out - worthwhile conservation work and entertaining for all ages.
