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.[citation needed] Also in 2017, the family founded the Zoological Society of Hertfordshire, a registered charity (no.1108609). The zoo receives no government funding.[citation needed]

Among the animals in the zoo are Amur tigers, white lions, snow leopards and European wolves, as well as African penguins, red pandas, green anacondas, two-toed sloths, lemurs, meerkats, Bactrian camels, plains zebras and Brazilian tapirs.[citation needed]

On 4 April 2022, the park announced that it would be rebranding to Hertfordshire Zoo as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations in 2024.[1]
