Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Last Updated on March 17, 2024 by Suzy McCullough

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park is essentially a large zoo. It is set over a large area and the vast majority of the animals, have got excellent and very large enclosures. It takes a long time to walk around so if you have little legs with you make sure you take a buggy.

Things to do at Yorkshire Wildlife Park review

They have a really big area for their lions and it’s one of the best places to see them. We often witness them playing. Make sure you visit the walkthrough lemur enclosure at feeding time. There’s also a walkthrough wallaby enclosure next to this and if the wallabies don’t mind you are allowed to stroke them.

Other highlights include the polar bears. We have witnessed them playing on many occasions and one time one of the bears was having the best time with a plastic cone. We also love seeing the giraffe and zebra in the African area. They often play host to some great events, so it’s worth checking to see what’s on.

There are two excellent new adventure playgrounds at the wildlife park. Plus a big indoor soft play area which we have never had time to visit. The Yorkshire Wildlife Park also offers animal experiences at an additional cost. Plus there is a new dinosaur area and an interactive area.

Although an expensive day out it’s really worth a visit. There is so much to see and do here. Plus they are always expanding and adding new animal enclosures. We love that their animals have so much space and they are clearly well cared for. There are also some fun outdoor play areas for the kids.
