Its undergone (and still undergoing) significant upgrade since our last visit 5yrs ago - looks like they are investing heavily; it's looking really good and expanding in size. Well worth a visit.

Toni Nicholson

The zoo is great to get close to the animals and all enclosures are open enough for you to clearly see animals. The only downside to the zoo is that it is quite small in comparison to Chester zoo .

Ahad Ali

A great day out with family lots to see, family of 4 only £12 full day to keep kids busy during the summer holidays,souvenir shops are quite pricey but that's what you'd expect. ☆☆☆☆☆

Sheldon Thomasson

Great conservation place and one of the best in the country . Good to see Polar Bears and they also have endangered Amur Tigers & Leopards. Annual ticket worthwhile and experience days available.

Lesley Jarvis

This place just keeps getting better. With everything from polar bears to ant eaters, all really well looked after. You can't not visit. Look out for the events all year round. Brilliant place

Roanna Carleton-Taylor

So many wonderful animals. The polar bears really love their enclosure , it was a joy to watch them playing. Lovely place, animals very well cared for. (Roanna Carleton Taylor)

Nes Temizkan

Sucu a lovely peaceful walk and animals look Really happy to be there,strongly recommended to go,have a little picnic even

Abhijit Ray

Nice little zoo . Has a good collection of animals. Children have 3 play areas , petting and animal feeding areas. The entry is 14.5 pounds for adults and 11.5 for kids. This is really steep.

Christopher Howett

Tiger, leopard, giraffe, wallabies , zebra, lions and topped off with silent (don't scare the animals fireworks ). Pretty awesome day, recommend it.

Stuart Provan

Chicken wings are great so are the hotdogs , and animals are so well looked after one if best parks around

Francesca Ward

Amazing place. Close encounter experiences. Cuddle the wallabies . Up close with monkeys. Everything is amazing!

Andy Davidson

Excellent values, takes several hours to look around and costs about £15. Great lion collection, the pride of Yorkshire !

Mike Bazaluk

It may have the "pride of south yorkshire", but there's a whole lot more to see. YWP keeps expanding, and getting bigger & better. There's the Amur Tigers now, and the South American !VIVA!, and in th

Sian Badham

Look out for the summer safari nights - stays open till 9pm and the nocturnal animals he more lively

Sophie Grisely

A great day out for all ages. Seeing the lemurs up close and personal is a definite must do!

Becky

Had an absolutely amazing day here. Been back twice and planning to go again. Love it!

Tracey

Fab couple of hours out. If you plan on coming more than twice per year, save yourself some money and get an annual pass

Ant Burrows

Book your tickets at least a day before you go and get 20% off food and drink in the park .

GazzamatazzZ

If you own a pair of binoculars , take them, it can improve your view no end when animals are in the far end of their enclosure .

Lucas Coulson

What a great place. Happy animals, well kept holding areas. The Lemurs are well curious and you walk amongst them. Easy access for push chairs. Not at all depressing like most zoo'z.

Stephen Welburn

Baboons not playing on their climbing frame? .. Go to the window at the back of the indoor kids play area .

Sheldon Thomasson

If you are relatively near by car the annual pass is good value . I've had two so far.

Nas Jackson

Lovely zoo . Many of the animals have a back story. The lions used to play for Milwall

Stephen Welburn

During the refurbishments, be sure to check out the iron Giraffes.

Raj Sri

Bring a picnic and have lunch at a bench on the way round

Emma Denis

This tree house play area is just amazing!

Mike H

Spacious and a real surprise! A wonderful day out.

Diane Hutchinson

Plenty of places to get refreshments and stop to rest. Loved it

ivor biggun

A squirrel playing the furry knuckles shuffle & 1 donkey making the other donkey pant & tongue stick out. Forget the lions !

Sheldon Thomasson

Visit Polar Experience more than once for a chance to see the bears swimming .

Elizabeth Allport

Totally awesome! Cant wait to go back in spring to see the bears !

Chris Woodhall

Season ticket and fast track tickets holders can avoid the queues by nipping through the shop. Saved us a good 20 queue today

Stephen Lord

Lions , polar bears , meerkats, leopards.

Adelle Daley

Don't forget to visit the wallabies and up close and personal :)

Acres Dene

Fab attraction nut make sure you have the directions nailed before you set off. Our sat nav took us to a pedestrian only entrance!

Paul Ramsden

The slides are fun for kids and adults alike :)

Lesley Jarvis

A fantastic place for the young and old

Tracey

Take your time - lots to see

Chris Woodhall

Kids meals are £4.75 which is a bit steep. Park is great and always improving and growing

Lesley Jarvis

For the young and old alike.

Welcome to Yorkshire

Spend some time watching the rescued lions basking in the sun - amazing to see the big cats happy in their new home!

Matt

Bring some food with you. The hot dogs were £3.95 each, so I dread to think how much the cafe charges for a meal!

Christian G.

Discount coupons available for download: one child admitted free with every two adults (GBP 8 value) -- better than the family ticket!

Steve Peat

Brilliant day out.

Amy Wallace

Capybara is a must see!

Andy Berry

BRILLIANT ????

Ian P

Access to the camels is limited. The camels look mildly unamused by this arrangement.

Mike Bazaluk

Watch out for autumn 2012 Giraffes are coming
