Yorkshire Wildlife Park named one of UK’s best attractions by Which?

The prestigious consumer survey ranked almost 500 zoos, safari parks, aquariums and farms, and included YWP as one of its must-see locations.

The Doncaster-based resort offers visitors a unique mesmerising walk-through experience bringing visitors almost face to face with some of the world’s most beautiful and at risk species from around the world.

CEO, John Minion, revealed: “We are delighted to be named as a leading wildlife park by Which?. We are extremely proud of the unique offering we give visitors who come back time after time. But this is a wonderful recognition of our quality, hard work and commitment to conservation.

“Our close work alongside the European Endangered Species Programme has enabled us to celebrate several births and arrivals of at-risk species to help boost their populations. Conservation is at the heart of all we do.

“As well as visiting our animals, there is something for all the family to enjoy at Yorkshire Wildlife Park whatever the weather. "

There’s plenty to do all day long for visitors to the 175 acre park. There’s full programme of ranger talks with stories about the animals they care for and a daily carnivore feeding at 2pm. Children love the many play areas to let off steam, with both indoor and outdoor facilities.

Visitors can also discover the world of Pangea, the immersive, pre-historic dinosaur experience home to more than 30 life-sized moving roaring dinosaurs. From the terrifying t-rex to the villainous velociraptors, there is everyone's favourite Jurassic characters in the middle of Yorkshire.

The Hive, located at the entrance to the park, offers a free-admission shopping, dining, and entertainment experience. Dining options in the Hive include the Wild Café-Bistro which offers all day delicious food and drinks and an immersive themed experience restaurant Evolution.

It is also the location of the Hex Wildlife Hotel, right next to the Park’s entrance. A select number of the 104 rooms overlook the Park.
