I just wanted to thank you to all the lovely staff at Yorkshire Wildlife Park for another amazing day. I attended yesterday for the Safari Nights - what a brilliant concert. Prior to that we spent about 7hrs wandering around enjoying the animals and with the exception of the Armadillo managed to see everything. Your staff are so friendly, helpful and informative and always willing to answer any questions. The organisation at the end of the concert to get out of the car park was first class and although we stayed until the end we were back in Derby by 10.40. Looking forward to many more visits to your wonderful park and having attended many times a year since you opened am excited to see it continue to expand and work towards the conservation of our precious animals. Keep up the good work!

We visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park today as a treat on the way back from a hospital visit with our son who has ASD. I just wanted to thank you all, we had an amazing afternoon. A special thank you to the staff in the Safari Cafe, my husband asked them if they would do an afternoon tea for us (despite the fact we hadn’t booked) and they said yes. My gosh, I’m glad they did. It was the best I’ve EVER had, the sandwiches were well filled, the scones beautiful and light and the cakes were to die for. The staff in the cafe couldn’t do enough and were so friendly and helpful. The park itself is brilliant, especially for our son’s needs. It’s well spaced out and not too much artificial noise. We have had a great time looking at all the incredible enclosures. Thank you again to all your staff for making what can sometimes be challenging family days out an amazing, relaxed afternoon filled with fun and good food.

I wanted to email to express how amazing our experience was at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. I brought my brother who is disabled and in a wheelchair. From the minute we pulled into the park we were shocked by the amount of disabled parking. Entry was simple and accessible, and the man who greeted us at the ticket desk was the loveliest and friendliest man! The park was wheelchair accessible which is incredibly uncommon to find at an attraction. Everything, even down to the toilets was great. We spent 5 hours in the park and my brother enjoyed every second. I was beaming with how successful the day had been, making the 2 hour drive 100% worth it!

We can't wait to come back again and we are definitely going to be heading back for the Christmas special. Thank you again for making our day outrun so smoothly, allowing our family to have an amazing time, and especially for not making us feel restricted due to having a wheelchair. I can't thank you enough!

I am a 64 year old granny who spent her birthday here with a friend. What a wonderful place to visit. We were so close to the animals, a thing I have never done in all my years. The whole place was very clean, tidy and beautifully maintained. We both thought the animals looked well loved and had plenty of natural space to explore. I would recommend a visit to see for yourself and bring your family and friends. I will be visiting again. Thank you for making my Birthday brilliant.

We always try to do something on boxing day and decided this year to visit the park. We are so glad we did as we all had a great time.My granddaughter enjoyed running around and looking at all the amazing animals.Would definitely recommend.

Kath Greenhough

We had a wonderful day out, felt so close to the animal and they all looked so well looked after. Plenty of eating facilities and lots of toilets, no problem parking either and some lovely gift shops too. We spent at least four hours walking around and listened to a talk by one of the keepers I would highly recommend this for all age groups.

Laura Hall

Brilliant wildlife park! We had an Amazing day out with the family.The animals all look happy and so well looked after, they are active and running around on display for everyone to see. The enclosures are huge. It's a beautiful park! The children's play areas are the best I've ever seen - indoor and outdoor play areas. My son didn't want to leave.
