Not sure about the Thomas bit but we went last year and had a really good time. Lots of animals and lots of play areas, I would recommend it. Word of warning though there is a paddling pool so if it's a hot day take a towel and trunks or just don't let ds see it, we had a few tears because my friends ds couldn't go in.

Went a few years ago with 2 children, they had a great time... Weather helped Maybe worth googling it to see if there are any money off offers.

It is fantastic. The zoo part has loads of facts made interesting by being interactive i.e. beside flamingoes there's a clock to time how long you can stand on one leg etc. Then at the end there's a great play area outside as well as indoor soft play. And of course the Thomas train. You'll have a great time.

Drusillas is a lovely little zoo, I am a member and go often, the children love it.

Be warned though, they are doing work there at the moment and usually you go around the animals first, then go to the play areas (inside soft play, toddler outdoors play area and older child play area), then you go through the gift shop to the "pay extras" gold mining, bouncy slide, climbing wall and Thomas train ride (free) then the paddling pool (not heated!)

But with the work you now have to work backwards and trying to drag the children away from the play area can be tough! And then you have to go back on yourself to get out!

It is still well worth going and if you live quite locally, it is well worth getting the annual membership, cost is less than 3 visits and we go just for play area regularly if the weather is not so good!

Drusillas is brilliant for this age group. We've been a few times as only live about 40mins away.
Full day out with the animals and play areas (indoor and out).
Tesco vouchers can be used there too so it makes it a very good price for a family.

it's a nice place but VERY expensive. Thomas is good and you can go on him as many times as you like, but i wouldn';t do just for Thomas.

Paradise park in Newhaven is good too. no thomas but there is a miniature railway, amnd dinosaurs

it is great, the play area is really good, but I thought the food part expensive.
