Drusillas Park Drusillas Park, Alfriston Rd, East Sussex BN26 5QS, UK

Drusillas Park is a small 10-acre zoo near to Alfriston, in East Sussex, UK. Its exhibits are targeted towards children between 2 and 10 years old. It attracts between 350,000 and 370,000 visitors per year and is home to the first Hello Kitty-themed attraction in Europe.

Enjoy a great family day out at one of the top kids days out in Sussex. Widely regarded as the best small zoo in the country we've created an animal and child friendly environment where the focus is always on fun finding out. However, animals are only half the fun; Go Wild!, Get Wet!, Go Safari!, Amazon Adventure, Eden's Eye maze and Hello Kitty Secret Garden are paradise for anyone wanting a theme park experience. It's no ordinary zoo, it's no ordinary day out!
