Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Hi Everyone,

We visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park during half term using the National Lottery Days out offer. Reducing the price for a family of 4 from £66 to £16.

We probably picked the worst day weather wise to go as we had snow, hail, rain and wind but thankfully we did get some sunny spells. The bad weather didn't spoil our day at all. The park itself is a good size with a wide range of animals. I think we were most impressed with the polar bears as we had never seen these in real life before. They are beautiful animals.

Our youngest is a huge Zebra fan so was very excited to them, they even seemed to stand and pose for photos which was very cool. As well as animals in a typical zoo setting they also have walk through areas with lemurs and wallabies which were really nice to get close to.

All the animals were amazing but what makes Yorkshire Wildlife Park different is all the play areas. There seemed to be a different area at every turn and so well built, it is like an adventure forest. They were suitable for a range of ages and our 9 and 12 year old thoroughly enjoyed them. There is also a massive free soft play in the park with a area for smaller children. Children of all ages were having a great time in it and to make it even more special it over looked the monkey enclosure so we could watch our monkeys and right next to actual monkeys.

It's a brilliant day out. We were there all day despite the terrible weather. It's always been a place we wanted to try but was a bit put off with the cost, as we weren't sure what to expect but after visiting we definitely think it's worth full price but don't forget to use the lottery offer while it's still available. The money you save can be used in the gift shop and food outlets 😃. We'll definitely be back.
