Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens

Look, What a lovely day out. It only lost a 🌟 because the tea Room was slightly underwelming run by some kids, food pre pepped, etc not so cheap, but nice and cozy none the less. Plenty things to see and learn in the gardens, animals great, wouldn't pay full price got offer from metro radio website.

What an absolutely brilliant little hidden gem this place is. We took out Under 11's & Under 12's rugby teams to do some outward bound and team building activities. The instructors were first class, very patient and knowledgeable. The kids got so much out of the day, we will definitely be going back. Very good value too at around £10 per child for a full day.

Had heard it was a bit run down but was pleasantly suprised. Good range of animals with talks and feedings at specific times. Lots of peacocks in the car park so mind your speed.

Slightly underwhelmed! However, there was a good variety of animals, well accommodated in what seemed a compact area - so good for little legs/less mobile people. A good space for picnics, however the kiosk was closed so nowhere closeby for a drink; there are two places to eat for drinks and snacks but these are a bit of a walk from the zoo.
Not a bad place, but could do better.

It's great, it is small, and it isn't really sign posts very well. The site has lots of other things going on, with cadets and police horses so we weren't sure if we were at the correct place. The animals you see are a bit unusual , so it's a decent afternoon for young kids. There is a tiny climbing frame for small kids which was packed , which only took 5 kids . So they should look into creating. Something bigger. All in all we had a nice afternoon .

Really interesting zoological gardens. It's not a huge place but there are some rare species like the capybara. The staff are also friendly, knowledgeable and happy to talk about the different species.

Zoo was pleasant and compact. The Capybaras are noble and calm. The riverside walk was also lovely.

Lovely place. Lots to do. Great outdoor area. Plenty animals and lovely walk around gardens

Nice enough place not loads of animals to see. There are rabbits,guinnea pigs etc and fish. Wanted to have some lunch there. The only place open to eat was conservatory which was far too small and packed. So didn't eat!!!! We had our 2year old with us she wasn't that interested in the place. Also I am in a wheelchair and it wasn't that wheelchair friendly. Wouldn't rush back.
