Paradise Wildlife Park
Fancy spending the afternoon with exotic beasts and farmyard favourites this Easter? Down Hall has teamed up with leading local attraction Paradise Wildlife Park for a fantastic overnight package. Located just 40 minutes from the hotel, families can enjoy facetime with animals such as penguins, tigers and zebras, before stepping back in time to the World of Dinosaurs where 30 life-size, moving and roaring dinosaurs await! Once you’ve finished exploring, venture to Down Hall where kids can race through the ‘Trim Trail’ woodland gym, before grabbing racquets for a fun game of tennis on the hard or Padel tennis courts. Other family-friendly facilities include badminton, giant games and five-a-side football! After a restful night’s sleep in one of Down Hall’s luxurious rooms, visit the Garden Room restaurant where a hearty breakfast will set the family up for the day ahead!
