Zoo in Bradford

“First time visiting Ponderosa Zoo and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nicely priced and some great animals aswell. We ate at the Lakeside Restaurant and the food was lovely. Some nice play areas but my daughter was too big too play on them.”

“Took our tea cup terrier there for an op”

“Lovely farm park especially for under 11s. Loads of animals to see and brushing the pigs and holding the guinea pigs is always a favourite with any kid! Nice little cafe area and you can take your own picnics. Great play area with sandpits, climbing frames and go carts.”

“We visited 27/10/25 for the Spooks event during half term. We visited Trick or Treat Street, The pumpkin patch, The Rustic Garden for the School of Evil show and food, the bouncing pillows, the animal barns and the Soft Play. Trick or Treat Street was great, you move as a small group and knock on the doors for a Trick or a Treat. The characters were great and included all children. The School of Evil show was great. The kids age 6 and 7 really enjoyed this and the dance moves. They even got the adults up dancing too and gave time at the end for pictures, I noticed they made an effort with each child which was lovely. We got coffees and food from the food truck. The coffees at £3 each were disappointing and the bar coffee machine wasn't working. Our meals were nice. The children's portion sizes were decent sized, good enough for an adult. The pumpkin patch is good and one of the less muddy ones, with some lovely photo opportunities. Pumpkins not included and these are extra. There was a pumpkin carving area in one of the barns so you could carve on the day if you wished. There are a couple of animal areas, but I feel that these are lacking compared to other farms. We love animals so it would be nice to have some more areas. The soft play is large and the kids really enjoyed it. We were glad we ate at the rustic garden as the queue was so long and the QR option to order from your table wasn't working. But they do offer a larger selection of food here. All staff at the farm were friendly and pleasant. As it was half term it was busy just queuing in at opening, yet staff remained friendly to everyone despite the constant queue. We have visited Thornton Hall several times before and have enjoyed ourself each time.”

“I had some time to kill between the hotel kick out time and the event I was going to so I thought I would go exploring, with my camera in hand. What an absolute find Manor Heath Park was! Watching the wildlife playfully flitting about, seeing a wide array of fabulous doggos, and being surrounded by a plethora of beautiful flowers was just an ideal way to spend my Sunday morning. I can only imagine how beautiful it all looks when fully in bloom come spring time. I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.”

“Wonderfully peaceful walk with lovely, gentle alpacas, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We visited for their wildlife event, we came straight at 10am when it opened and enjoyed a coffee. We then did the little kids trail and my son got a sticker that he loved. A nice little quiet event.”

“Great place for a walk lovely flowers”

“This park is a wonderful place for day visit and have a peaceful time with family. It has 2 lakes, one is small. Lots of ducks and fish roaming around in the lake. It has woodland and walking track. There are two small hills to climb up and see the whole city from there. It is very quiet, gives tranquillity when walking. Dog friendly. Seen many sign of BBQ though official notice hanging not to do so. Altogether had a wonderful afternoon and stayed till sunset. Enjoyed thoroughly. Definitely recommend. Parking available in the street next to the GP. In park parking closed, don't know why. No toilet facilities.”

“5* used a few times...reliable friendly coach day trips...good value for money. Highly recommend”
