Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    My wife and I have been to Sunday lunch a few times and the service and waiting staff were very good. Today 03/03 we were in the restaurant and there was a medical emergency which resulted in us all being evacuated to the other room to allow the person to get treatment.
    I must say that the manager was cool and calm asking people to leave and on our return the waiting staff were brilliant after the shock of earlier they tried hard to catch up.
    Well done to you all as you were all very professional and you all done well thanks.

    Over 200 hundred acres of variety. Great walks with hard surface paths. There are lakes and streams.
    Farm and a cafe. Good parking.
    Had a great couple of hours here.
    The cafe is only doing take away pending refurbishment.

    This was a car journey for us but we'll worth the drive. This beautiful valley has many waterfalls, bridges and even stepping stones. The path threads it's way along following the river through the trees, mill stones and bridges. There are a couple of places where you cross a road but that would depend upon how far you walk.

    The small car park was full so we, along with many others, parked on the roadside. At the lower end of the trail there is a cafe, toilets and a children's play area.

    The walk is largely level and accessible although a pram or wheelchair wouldn't be practical.

    My partner & I had a wonderful experience at this amazing gin distillery. We were shown around by owners John and his lovely wife Cynthia.
    Their passion for the gin they were producing was infectious, a truly great tour around the buildings in which the process is made I found very interesting. We tasted various gins and learnt about the botanicals used.
    We treated ourselves to some gin to take home too.
    I would highly recommend this tour, wrap up well as it can be cold.

    What a great place! Was a bit nervous as some reviews made it sound very different, ok it's not very museum like in some ways, there are some great display cases and definitely light on the text but the games themselves tell a story and pleased the space invader, dizzy and Minecraft generation all at once. Probably not for anyone sniffy about games because it is a get stuck in place. There were loads of options, driving games, dancing games, 4 player pacman, a BBC computer in the corner, some avant garde ones plus all the favourites and all really easy to pick up and try. No waiting when we went, staff were helpful and keeping a keen eye out for any error messages to keep the show on the road. We enjoyed a couple of hours but could have enjoyed more time or another visit. Thanks very much for making this spectrum gamer very happy!

    Nice place to have a walk through, there is a water feature which kids play in, so if you have kids bring an extra set of clothes for them to change. There is some seating about.
