    A great day out. Very clean and well cared for park and animals. Lots of things to see and do for all ages and abilities.
    The animals were obviously enjoying being out in the sunshine today after a wet winter!

    This amazing place is magical! Especially with young children. It’s perfect for days out and birthdays and is extremely interactive! I did the behind the scenes experience and it was wonderful you got to hold chameleons and crocodiles and feed the lemurs! There are so many good views of the animals and the staff are very friendly. Walking through the actual butterfly house was tropical and amazing for photos I recommend visiting this amazing place!

    Follow the farm on Facebook and really wanted to visit. I was treated to a visit as a birthday gift. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Seeing all the animals, especially the new borns and finished off with afternoon tea....delicious. Lots to see and if you have children there are numerous well equipped playgrounds, although a couple are being upgraded/refurbished at the moment and there is also an indoor play area. There are picnic benches if you take your own food but food is available also on site.The Farm Shop is amazing.! All in all a good day out and would love to go again.

    A wonderful place, so much to see and explore. There is a lot of history about this place that I did not know before but it all seemed interesting. The gardens are beautiful and colourful. Also, there is a tea room and a gift shop, but I did not think the entry for this place would cost so much. I would still recommend it, it is a beautiful place.

    I can’t rate this highly enough. We came for my 5 year olds birthday as he loves emergency vehicles. He was in his absolute element. He was so excited about all of it.
    He particularly enjoyed being able to go inside several of the vehicles. There were lots of opportunities to dress up throughout the museum.
    We went on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly suprised to find it not very busy.
    The only thing that could maybe be improved is signage to the outside yard. We nearly missed it and ended up telling another group where it was.
    We went as a couple of 4 adults, one child and a baby in a pushchair and managed to get around the museum fine. I think we might have to go back without the kids to have a proper read of the information.
    My only complaint, which think I know they can’t do anything about, is that it was really quite chilly.

    Overall the place is absolutely lovely with some stunning plants and flowers. I have visited a few times but noticed on my visit this weekend that the flower/plant beds inside desperately need watering as some of the plants had gone brown and completely died. You could see that nothing had been watered for a long time. Nevertheless less this is a lovely place to visit with family and friends. The gardens outside are kept immaculate and I did see someone working on them during our visit.

    Absolutely superb museum right in the centre of Sheffield. Lots of exhibits, some inter-active, with a nice lift so disabled friendly. Free admission and parking, although they would appreciate a small donation, but that is optional. The staff were friendly and helpful, I would allow at least 2-3 hours to see all the museum has to offer. There is a lovely cafe on site called Joni's, again the staff were first class.

    Great place to sit and relax on a cold day. Always good to take a group and have a packed lunch. Can get busy between 12 to 2 though.

    Allways wanted to go to this theatre and wasn't disappointed. The show White Christmas was one of the best things we have seen in over 50 years of theatregoing. All seats have a briiliant view and the coloured door system is excellent. They could have a look at the interval drinks system because that was chaos. But this did not take away from the experience, all round terrific. WE WILL BE BACK.
