ROYAL ARMOURIES MUSEUM REVIEWS

Absolutely amazing museum to visit, number of artifices with information. The sword demonstration was really fun it was enjoyable, no entrance fee which makes it’s a great out day for anyone. Easy to access, loads to see very helpful staff and volunteers, interesting military history. Totally worth spending time every minute. Fantastic museum. If you spend time hour or day definitely you will find a lot of new things and findings. If you come to Leeds, highly recommended to come to this museum , Huge and loads of hidden gem. I loved the more laid back vibe of Leeds and had some amazing food. If you are in the area you really have got to stop by the royal armories they have so many amazing artifacts and one can easily spend 4–5 hours here seeing all the exhibits. Admission is free which is a plus and I have wanted to go for years after seeing the YouTube videos by the museum's curators. It was pretty quiet on the weekday we visited on. 5 floors of armouries items, there's live talks and demos as well. Superbly presented museum with a wide variety of arms and armour, well displayed in context. love it.

If you love military history this is the place to visit! There are arms, armour and so much more from the Romans to modern day. The museum has 5 floors, they do live sword fighting in the museum, they do regular lance couching tournaments outside the museum and the inside is packed to the roof with incredible exhibits from nearly 4.000 years of warfare. You can even shoot a crossbow! The displays are amazing and you should really spend a whole day here. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and best of all: It's free of charge!!!

An amazing museum which was free to get in. There is so much to see. A nice flow through the different ages of history as you walk through the museum taking you up to more modern times, Evan a section on films as well. There were demonstrations of various things throughout the day which adds to the experience. The cafe had really nice food and drinks as well. The Eton Mess was amazing. The shop was well stocked with plenty of different things.

TROPICAL WORLD REVIEWS

A déjà visit. We last visited with my children and their grandparents and this time it was a generational shift; we are now the grandparents. Very enjoyable visit and there was plenty to see and be excited about. Even Mr Porcupine poked his head out. Colourful and tuneful birds, huge fish and lots more to see and do.

Amazing place, love to visit regularly, staff are always welcoming and friendly, the environment is clean and my child loved seeing all the animals. An area was closed off on this visit which was a little disappointing but still had a great day out. Cheap ticket price too meant we could spend more at the gift shop!

A fantastic place, a little gem close to the city. A beautifully designed exhibition area with rare animals and plants. Be sure to explore the wonderful gardens/park that surround it.

TEMPLE NEWSAM REVIEWS

There is something here for everyone. Free parking on the outskirts of this vast estate and pleasant walks, to the house, or go though the wooded area to Go Ape, the lakeside and to see the farm animals. The house which is huge, has a one way viewing route, which means you seem to be on your own walking though the rooms. There are lots of short bullet point facts about each room and friendly guides with a lots of knowledge about the house. Take a picnic and enjoy a day out.

Early morning visit I hadn't been for Years. It was incredible, everyone was so helpful, there were so many treasures, so much to see, and that's only the house. One of the staff suggested that I walk down to the lake and view the amazing display of Rhododendron and Azaleas that were in full bloom.

Incredible landscape. Running track gulfcourse and huge green manors. Alots places to explore. Garden is full of colourful flowers. You need to pay for parking and inside the building which has old antique stuffs. Walking along the green grass filed, feels awesome. Highly recommended.
