Park in Sheffield

“Myself and my little boy (14months) came here for light illuminations and stayed over in hotel. What an amazing time! Hotel was immaculate, super clean, modern. A great nights sleep! Staff were super friendly and helpful especially accommodating as I was my own with little one. Only downside was the travel cot mattress was extremely hard but this is common across most hotels we visit. Zoo itself was great. Super clean, great to see all the animals, play areas were super for little ones too. Illuminations was spectacular and SO impressive! Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend :)”

“My friends and I can here as part of our weekend away.. we are so glad we did! Didn’t disappoint. Peter was so informative and just lovely with the animals, can tell he loves his job. Nipped to the cafe, beautiful selection of cakes etc.. Tina was wonderful and obviously also loves where she works. Thank you for a lovely day!”

“Nice trip out, forgot it was school holidays, but not too busy. Only few minutes down the road from us. Animals seem happy and well cared for. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Ample parking. Nice little gem, well worth a visit”

“Great experience. Lovely place and so close to home. This wildlife park is great for all ages, and people with disabilities, good wheelchair access. The parrots are great. You can have a walk in experience, they fly freely and feed from your hand. Free carpark about 8 disabled bays. Entry fee £16.99 standard £14.99 concessions. Would recommend.”

“It’s a nice place to be When you’re there you would be able to see the Sheffield city centre which is an interesting location to visit”

“Surprisingly very large car park. £4.75/day for cans and vans. 5mins walk to Owley Tor 15 mins walk to Milestone Edge. (Best every view from the top of the hill) Evening hours- golden hours would blow your mind. They dont have any bins anywhere near the Peak District National Park. So keep some spare bags to carry the bins and bring them back to car. No toilet facilities available anywhere near the area. At least we haven’t seen one.”

“We had such a great day here! tons of exciting slides as well as a fun obstacle course. What really made it special was the paddle boarding! Right next to the water park where you can rent paddle boards. It was the perfect way to wind down after all the water park excitement. The water was calm, the scenery was peaceful, and it was such a fun activity for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Only “downside” is if you don’t have a car it’s a 40 minute walk from the nearest bus stop but if you enjoy walking it should be no problem! It’s rare to find a place that combines both high-energy water park fun with something more relaxing like paddle boarding — we loved both and would definitely come back. Highly recommended for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a full day of water activities!”

“It was amazing day out with the kids, I recommend it to everyone. Also contains big water splash area”

“Millhouse Park is a lovely spot for both relaxation and recreation. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk, with plenty of open space and greenery to enjoy. Families will especially appreciate the well-maintained children’s play area, which keeps little ones entertained for hours. The cafeteria with pond view with boat rides adds a charming touch. On top of that, the park offers a variety of playgrounds and sports areas, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to unwind, spend quality time with family, or enjoy some outdoor activities, Millhouse Park is a great choice.”

“A lovely bike track for kids, a playground with a wet play area. What a lovely park.”

“Lovely park and cafe always a different walk to do”

“Great for walking the dog, letting kids run crazy, cafe, ice creams . What more could you ask for. An update to previous review. There are new paths in place to help those with disability or parents with prams. They have cleaned around tree feature too so you can take a rest if you like.”

“Hadn’t been for around 8/9 years and it’s had a huge transformation. Lots of cafes dotted around, updated signage. There was a farmers market on which had great vendors and nice food outlets. Rufford is a so beautiful and it’s been well enhanced”

“Absolutely lovely, it's that nice we have put a caravan on permanently, the pub is on site food good ,friendly people”

“A fantastic campsite right in the middle of sherwood forest. Very clean facilities, well kept and organised. A nice park for kids to use and plenty of space for them to run aroundand play. Can bike or walk straight into the woods. Just under 10 minute drive to the major oak. Would definitely recommend.”

“Brilliant relaxing place, especially with the fresh water”

“A lovely little park with tennis courts and childrens play area. This park is home to bishops house a Tudor hunting lodge now a museum with Tudor period rooms. There are also wonderful panoramic views of Sheffield from the top of the hill. It is great for sledging in winter thanks to it's steep hills.”

“Great place, can be busy in the playground area but a lot more secluded and calm in the woodland part of it. They have a really great river and even have a lake to feed the ducks. In my opinion one of the best parks in sheff. They are even equipped with a nice cafe.”

“Small play area for kids. The cafe is spacious with lots of outdoor seating. Public toilets to the right of the cafe are generally clean. Good park and play area for kids and dog friendly”

“Large park with free parking looking wonderful in Autumn.”

“I visited Locke Park for the parkrun. It’s a pretty and well maintained park. There is a bandstand, cafe, a children’s playground, open green areas, and trees. The park is hilly and at the top is a historic tower. The tower is fenced off but opens to the public on certain dates. The highlight of the park, for me, was the fairy garden. It’s a small area but there is so much to see. The artwork is detailed and really well done.”

“Popular with our granddaughters ; a lake to walk round, ducks and geese to feed. An exciting playground for toddlers to 10 year olds. A bridge for pooh sticks, chatty fishermen; a lovely afternoon.”

“An ideal place for an afternoon of dog walking”

“charming and historical place. good for family”

“Took our touring caravan to misterton for a long weekend. Didn't spend much time on the site as we were visiting relatives nearby. It was exactly what we needed, small and peaceful. Well maintained grass pitches. Hard pitches availabe too. Lovely pub 2 mins walk away. For a longer stay, onsite toilets and showers would have been nice. Annie was very welcoming and helpful.”

“Great woodland with plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature. Plenty of rough terrain so not suited to those who prefer smoother paths. Although there are some easier spots if you stay at the bottom. A lot of the best views are uphill though. Great place to explore, relax or have a picnic.”

“Great little local park with an excellent cafe. Play stuff for kids. Pond for ducks etc. Play croquet or have a beer at Barringtons next door. There are events during summer and it has a very interesting history. Steam train passes by at the bottom. Whitworth Centre has all sorts of stuff and it also has a very interesting history. Blimey l sound like Steve Davies.”

“We came for an event day, and there some stalls selling local produce by the cafe. There were free guided tours of the mill, and you got to make your own flat breads and gingerbread to try. Walks round the mill pond and reservoir are stunning with lots of ducks to feed.”

“Lovely place but be VERY CAREFUL if following Google Maps directions - ours tried to take us via a woodland bridleway which was totally unsuitable. I think the maps route has been updated now (correct route is via Cupthorpe) but leaving this just in case.”

“Sam, Nat and Team are amazing. It’s a great place for party. Had a wonderful celebration for my cousins 18th Birthday. Have some great traditions for turning 18th. Thank you for a great night. Food was amazing.”
