Lovely little zoo close to city centre.

A fantastic array of butterflies from around the world, flying freely around the large domed areas. Tropical World is home to loads of exciting and exotic animals. Meerkats, monkeys, crocodiles, butterflies, snakes, lizards, iguanas and ultra cute bat's and more are here to be seen....More

Main attraction good but cafe disgraceful

Visited tropical world in Leeds today with family members and my 8 year old son. Although the main attraction was good, the cafe really let the whole experience down, plenty of staff on and not really that busy, yet all of the tables were dirty,...More

Our daughter loved the meerkats

First visit for several years and a first one with our one year old daughter. We saw plenty of butterflies - unlike other reviewers - maybe they rushed through? Our daughter was very engaged by it all - more so than we had hoped. She...More

Lovely visit, as always!

Excellent place for both adults and children alike. We live locally, and visit often. Good educational content, with interactive displays, and always a delight to see the animals.

Complete lack of awareness for their animal welfare

I was horrified to see the terrible enclosures and lack of space their beautiful animals were in. The workers there need to work on enrichment ideas and consider cutting down their exotic animals as they clearly lack the funding and ability to look after them.
