What travellers are saying
- Chloe5 contributionsGreat museum to visit whilst in Leeds! Free entry and so much to discover, learned new things all the time whilst was there and the gun demonstration was great. Ideal if you’re a history fanWritten 1 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Margaret G1 contributionWaterloo Lake is lovely but some areas around the lake are difficult to navigate due the the very uneven nature of the footpath. Mum was a bit frightened that she might tip into the lake where the path was very uneven. Does need sorting out for improved wheelchair accessibilityWritten 8 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrSte193Leeds, UK6 contributionsWhat an absolute gem, this beautiful Abbey is well kept and a lovely day to spend the day. The only downside I would say is the cost of parking at £15 a car on the day. You can save a bit of money pre booking though so check out their website.Written 5 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kadey H1 contributionAmazing views and landscape. Good price tickets for house and farm. The Halloween house cellar tour was a lot of fun - a great mix of learning more about the house and getting scared 😝 Great day out!Written 15 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter HHalifax, UK1 contributionThis is an interesting museum of medicine in Leeds, right next to St James Hospital. It has its own parking around the front with another car park available further down the road.
The ground floor covers the history of life in Leeds and the advances of medicine and changes made to improve the health of people in Leeds over the centuries.
The first floor has exhibits of medical equipment, technology and changes over the years.
There is also nice little cafe, and a shop for visitors after going round the visits.
A good afternoon out and well worth a visit.Written 25 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joasi23South Yorkshire, UK1,387 contributionsBeautiful old theatre and despite being high up the sound of the orchestra and the view of the stage was fabulous when we watched the Nutcracker performed by the Northern ballet. Access to the rear seats at the top does require some agility , but it’s worth the effort.Written 4 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rjcjtravellerLeeds, UK495 contributionsWe’re regular visitors to Roundhay park and after quite a long time revisited Golden acre. Smaller than Roundhay but plenty of interest, wooded areas, flowerbeds, a large lake. Popular with dog walkers. Car parks at either end. And a really nice cafe !Written 25 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mack 77Leeds, UK2 contributionsAfter reading so many negative reviews on this year’s Christmas event we decided to take a look for ourselves
We booked in for late afternoon and on entering the house we had a warm welcome
Unfortunately only half of the rooms were open to the exhibition although as explained the other rooms would be open shortly for the Santa experience
As we walked through the rooms we could relate to the past years having lived through those years
Not too sure about Christmas 2050 the turkey will need a week to cook !
It was obvious the team had acted on the poor reviews and additions to the rooms added
On exiting the house onto the terrace garden the fading backdrop brought out the magical effects of the light display walking down to the courtyard you had that Christmas feeling especially after the previous nights scattering of snow
As we walked back past the advent calendar on the house we noticed silhouettes on the lawns of the fallow deer a magnificent site to end the walk
We found it to be very interesting and the youngster will find it magical especially once they open the santa experience
The only disappointment of the afternoon was to be served coffee at the terrace cafe in paper cups!!Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I'm very glad to say it is still a really nice day out in the Leeds area, plenty of animals to see. The butterflies and birds in particular have quite a big area to roam around, making it easy to spend quite a lot of time looking for them.
When I visited, some enclosures were closed and undergoing refurbishment, however it's good to see the attraction is still open despite this, and I'm intrigued to see what the new arrivals will be.
The animals and enclosures all seem to be looked after very well. If anything, I would say the butterfly room could be monitored a little more closely, I noticed one had escaped and was flying around near the exit which was a little concerning as I'm sure they need to be in the warm environment set up for them.
That said, this is overall a good day out with plenty to see, and I'm sure once the refurbishments are complete it will be better than ever!Written 17 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The children did enjoy it but I did feel for what I paid £36 for 2children and 3 adults there could have been alot more skeletons,pumpkins cobwebs spiders etc around . Lotherton is a big area and more Halloween themed things about would have made the experience better especially when it cost what it did. If you decide to go take wellies as it was very muddy which is to be expected. Also went to the toilets near the cafe which were horrendous,dirty,no loo paper and smelling .Written 30 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
