Amazing day
We have just returned from an amazing day at the wildlife park, cannot rate this experience more than five stars but would have if possible. The staff are friendly, the site is well signposted with brief but interesting information available for every animal. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the world around you.
The variations of animals available to see are good, with raised walkways and platforms so you can see them from the best advantage.
The whole area is kept immaculately clean and tidy by a constant stream of staff.
We really enjoyed our day - thank you

App works well - great wildlife park!
While pricey (£28 for disabled student and carer), the animals are well cared for with great enclosures and places to hide. Staff are always knowledgable and polite, and YWP is determined to help endangered animals with their breeding programs (so I don’t mind the cost of entry). Great varied theming with restaurants, many viewpoints to see the animals and various play areas for all ages, Yorkshire Wildlife is a brilliant day out and, in my opinion, worth the price.

For Profit Only - NOT for the animals.
One adult, one OAP and one disabled person cost £90 admission fee. If that is not enough to put you off, of the dozens of species advertised, we saw less than a dozen, and those few were pacing back and fore, clearly distressed by the poor environment they found themselves in. The polar bears looked extremely out or sorts pacing backwards and forwards on a short strip of grass with nothing resembling a compatible environment and no sign of any form of enrichment to enhance their clearly miserable lives. The single tiger we observed was walking around in circles, head down and looking very board with its life. Even the seals were just swimming back and fore in a pond which resembled little more than a a large garden pond.
Free the animals to a caring and respectful home and concentrate on being a dinosaur park. I am totally amazed that you have a licence to hold any of these poor creatures in the way that you have them imprisoned.
