    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!

    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.

    A great garden centre with lots to see.
    A lovely cafe with nice food too.
    However, on entering the centre down the driveway, watch out for the speed bump that should be called a mountain bump...absolutely atrocious!
    Bounced my car a foot in the air and I was taking it slow too. Somehow spoiled a nice visit.
    Owners take note...it needs sorting asap!!

    Great course, racing atmosphere and facilities. The particular food and drink deal we had (pizza & Poretti) was not so good.

    What a super area to walk around. Staff in centre were very helpful, wildlife a bit quieter than usual owing to atrocious weather conditions on our visit, but, we still had a great time.

    With our English Heritage membership we enjoyed exploring the castle as a family and were there about 90 minutes. It's quite hilly but the kids loved it. Fun videos and projected images on the castle walls explained the history of who lived there, along with display boards.

    There are a few picnic spots if you visit in the nicer weather and a small shop but not much if you visit during the colder months.

    Parking can be tricky and we drove round for quite a while before deciding where best to park. Street parking is available for free and there is a pay & display car park at the bottom of the hill (which we didn't use as I'll be honest, I had a gut feeling about the payment system being dodgy so decided to avoid it (I'm 5ft 6in and when you literally have to jump up high several times to scan the QR code and no- one else is parked there despite the castle being busy, then your bank contacts you to ask if you're trying to make a payment, my red flags were flying high so I chose to avoid it).

    Despite the parking though it was a nice little place and we learnt a bit more about some of the history.

    A serious of low falls in a lovely area great for picnics. Car parking at Stainforth along with toilets, follow the footpath at the bottom corner of the car park to the falls approx. 1/2 of a mile.

    We booked reptile rendezvous for our daughters 5th birthday and it was absolutely amazing! The children (and adults) were all spellbound with the animals. It completely held their attention for the time and the handlers were fantastic and friendly with the children.
    Would really rate this for a birthday party if your little one is interested in furry things or things that slither! The meerkats and skunk are absolutely adorable and the snakes- wow!!
    Thankyou so much for such a good party!

    Fab venue and Giovanni put in his usual spectacular and entertaining show.
    Not a bad view from anywhere in the venue…..but….. if they could do more about shortening the queues for drinks etc, esp during the breaks, I’m sure they’d sell a lot more! Already booked next years show!!

    Been here a few times, one of my favourite places to go in Doncaster especially when it's rainy. The museum has a lot of interesting stuff to look at, a wide range of things for people with different interests, such as an art gallery, a large train, war exhibition, and the main museum bit with lots to see and learn about the local heritage.
    Great for all ages and fun!
