About
Hertfordshire Zoo, previously known as Paradise Wildlife Park and before that as Broxbourne Zoo, is a family-run wildlife park and charity in Broxbourne, in Hertfordshire, England. It came under the management of the Peter and Grace Sampson family in 1984; in 2017, their daughter Lynn Whitnall became chief executive and continued the family business. Also in 2017, the family founded the Zoological Society of Hertfordshire, a registered charity (no.1108609). The zoo receives no government funding.
Among the animals in the zoo are Amur tigers, white lions, snow leopards and Eurasian wolves, as well as African penguins, red pandas, green anacondas, two-toed sloths, ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, Bactrian camels, plains zebras and Brazilian tapirs.
