Enjoy a family day out in any weather at Drusillas Park, one of the top attractions in the country. Drusillas Park was rated the number one attraction in the UK by The Times (February 2010) 12th in the Sunday Times “Best Days out in Britain” (June 2008) and recommended by The Guardian ‘Things for kids to do’ (March 2010). Previous accolades include Sovereign Radio “Best Sussex Attraction” and Southern FM “Best Family Day Out”. Drusillas Park is delighted to have won the Tourism South East Visitor Attraction of the Year Award for 2010/11 beating Leeds Castle, Blenheim Palace and Beaulieu Motor Museum.
There are plenty of things to do at Drusillas Park, and they have special events and activities for families all year round. Here are a few of our favourites:
- Children can get up close to lemurs in the walk-through enclosures at LemurLand
- Thomas the Tank and friends are at Drusillas nearly every day of the year – a must for any Thomas fans
- Adventurous kids can explore Eden’s Eye, the interactive maze with a mystery to solve
- Young children can burn off some energy in the indoor play area and outdoor adventure playground especially designed for children under 6
Useful details for visiting Drusillas Park with kids:
Parent and Baby rooms are located opposite Mokomos Jungle Rock and opposite Explorers Lagoon. Baby changing facilities are also available at the Zoo Entrance, Explorers Restaurant and Go Wild! In case you get caught out, nappy vending machines are available in the Baby Changing Room opposite Explorers Lagoon and in the Parent and Baby Room behind Explorers Lagoon.
The park and facilities are accessible for buggies and for wheelchair users, and there are low-level viewing platforms.
There are plenty of family friendly places to eat, or you can bring your own lunch and use the designated picnic areas .

Drusillas is a small but interesting zoo which is very close to where I live so I bought a annual pass so I am able to take my 1 year old regularly to see the animals. We have been a number of times and it never seems the same. There is a wonderful outdoor play area at the end for all ages and various other attractions including soft play, a water area, Thomas the Tank Engine train ride and various shops and places to get food and drink. I do think that it is quite expensive for a day out if you have a large family, but the annual pass is good value for money. You can use your Tesco Clubcard Days out vouchers for daily entry which could help.
