Overpriced. Utterly ridiculous entry fees for a zoo built on a horrific scrub land in the middle of one of the UK's most impoverished and deprived zones. Put it this way it's no London zoo.
£20 extra if you require a mobility scooter- believe me if you're not fit as a fiddle (and I'm a 16 minute 5k runner) you'll need one! It's a massive 5-7km walk through the park. I feel very sorry for the disabled people who most certainly will need one and who should not be subjected to this profiteering.
Vending machines charging over £3 for a small bottle of cola.
Garish theme park signage and brainwashed guides trying to convince visitors that keeping huge polar bears in confined electric fenced enclosures in UK climate is natural for these splendid bears.
Unbridled greed!

We took our 6 year old grandaughter out to the Park for the day which was very nice. All the staff were exremely nice and helpful, facilities were plentiful.

One particular member of staff needs mention, he was a young man called Bradley, he was at the ticket booths on Sat 8th he was extremely respectful and helpful I could even say beyong the call of duty. I am 71 yrs old and have to use a mobilty scooter, which broke down with a battery fault, couldnt believe when he kindly offered to push me to my car. He was really pleasant and extremely helpful. A brilliant young man.

Fantastic day out!
Massive enclosures and plenty of animals which are extremely well looked . Reasonably priced food across park and amazing customer service!

We went for a meal at the Wilds Bistro at the Yorkshire Wildlifepark yesterday, what a lovely experience.
The restaurant had a delightful ambiance, all the staff were amazing and the food was excellent. We were greeted by Amelia who firstly asked if we had any allergy requirements, which was excellent.
My wife opted for the GF fish and chips and I had the spicy cauliflower balti pie; both choices were delicious and we both will definitely be coming back.
Thank you all, Andy P

Spent the night in the Hex hotel on the park the night before our intended visit round the park. 1st room allocated, toilet coming away from the wall. We were moved to another room which was fine.

Next morning, a total washout as rained all night. The car park was flooded so the park will be even worse and I’m sure the animals have got more sense than to come out of their enclosures in torrential rain. Asked for a future dated ticket as there is no point in going round the park today. Was told “No we don’t do that”.

REALLY!!! Without customers to fund their ability to look after the animals, they’d have to close. They should look after their customers better!!!! Disgraceful!!!

Absolutely loved our day at YWP. The park is clean and easy to navigate. The walkway is cleverly designed to give you a fantastic view of the animals. There is a great offering of wildlife, the enclosures are very well kept and the keepers are so enthusiastic and helpful.
Prepare to be on your feet all day as there’s a lot to get round and I’d also advise taking a packed lunch (as many of the food outlets were closed) and a picnic blanket (my only complaint is there’s not enough seating!).
There are some perfectly positioned play areas along the way including a very impressive treehouse to climb.
Would definitely revisit.

Wife and son had a car crash this morning enroute.

Called up, no sorry you've lost your booking nothing we can do, you should have booked a flexi ticket.

Nice. Thanks

UPDATE: following several emails and a phone call, they have since given us back our tickets to use anytime in the next three months. Thank you

The place itself is well organised, however a distinct lack of animals in the relevant enclosures left me feeling very underwhelmed. Won't be going back anytime soon

Brilliant Wildlife Park and I visit around 5 times a year, being into photography I make a full day of it. The Park has a massive range of animals which can be found all over the grounds, some times they take shade so at times it's luck to be up close to them. I find spending the full day you do get to see all the animals. Food is a little expensive but it normally is at these kinds of places. Amazing animals and great to see, absolutely adore the Lions Tigers and Polar Bears 🐻 🐅 🦁

Went on a school trip very boring no animals and saw a worker hit a animal

I’m so disappointed in this trip, we came for my son’s birthday and he had such a rubbish time and was so fed up by the time we left. We even left 2 hours earlier than planned. School kids on trips everywhere so teens hanging around eating on all the play parks making it impossible for little to play. There were barely any animals to be seen and all in tiny enclosures. Everywhere was closed, no entry no stands open even though we paid full price for tickets. Just overall a disappointing experience with a sad little boy on his birthday! Would not recommend coming here really

Fantastic day out . We have two little ones, who are wheelchair users and the accessibility here is amazing .

In fact a more senior lady went past us in her mobility scooter (that she’d hired from the park) , the lady commented in a state to euphoric joy “isn’t it wonderful , it’s all so accessible “ . We absolutely agree .

There is lots to see , some wonderful animals and the dinosaur walk through at the start is awesome .

The polar bears are always a firm favourite with us and was wonderful to see one of them playing with a canoe/kayak.

We are now Gold members and thoroughly looking forward to our next visit .

All the staff are welcoming and friendly but special mention to Alice in guest services for excellent customer service .

See you soon .

Having recently visited London zoo I can honestly say the contrast is unfortunately vast. Let’s start with the entry fee. £33 for London zoo compared to sub £15. Wow. Then the variety of animals is again not comparable. The amount of animal enclosures closed in London likely exceeded those that were open, this was not the same at YWP. Lastly the environment the animals live in. I appreciate that as humans we have hunted, exploited and destroyed for fun these beautiful animals world, but I have never been to such a better, safer and somewhat natural environment for the animals to live. The price for food sadly reflects the society we live in, but the vast amounts of picnic areas mean taking your own food is an easy option. Overall a wonderful place to visit and a standout for all the right reasons.

The park was easy to find, very large and exceptionally clean. There is plenty of a places to buy refreshments from and there are toilets dotted about around the park which wasn't as badly priced as we have seen and paid at other parks. We did however find that there wasn't many animals and the ones that we did see (apart from the meerkats), looked miserable. We had all never seen miserable looking animals before and our 6 year old asked why they all were. It was such as shock!...

Great fun for all the family! Lots of animals to see

We went to Yorkshire Wildlifepark yesterday what a wonderful day all the staff were amazing Jude was the first person we met my cousin hired a electric scooter she really looked after her also a man not sure if his name was Mark they brought cushions for her nothing was too much trouble all your staff were amazing they made our day we also had my Auntie with us she is 95 years old and loved it so thank you all Delphine Meakin

Visited the park on out way back to Essex. Was a very enjoyable day out . My only criticism was the signage from the carpark to the zoo entrance was a little confusing also their needs to be signs when coming out that direct you out to avoid going round the dinosaur exhibits.
My only other criticism was the monkey burger bar. Over priced for what you get. £5.00 for a pice of chicken in a bun was disgusting.

Lots to see, brilliant

Its a fabulous local park and all the animals have great enclosures and appear to be well-cared for.

We visited in December for the winter illuminations and had a fabulous time. My only complaint would be that the footpaths in some areas were very poorly light, and some of the walks between different sections are very far (especially for small children). There should be several routes you can follow (clearly signed) so that if you are less able to walk long distances you can have a break or modify your journey through the park

Animals kept in huge enclosures, especially the Polar Bears with their own lake.
Lions enclosure is brilliant, as is the Tigers. ALL the animal enclosures are very well kept.
Plenty of eateries. Lots of seats dotted around. Pathways generally even and very clean. Very pleasant and easy to wander round. Photography is very easy.
We stayed at the Hex Hot 50metres from the entrance. Brilliant Hotel. Very comfortable beds. Clean and room maintained well. Great shower. Lovely towels. Only slight problem.....Disabled Parking is a bit of a hike.
