Since its opening in 2009, Yorkshire Wildlife Park has evolved to become the UK’s number 1 on-foot safari. We feature walkthrough exhibits that take the guest directly into the world of the animals. A dynamic centre for conservation and welfare, the park currently has around 475 animals across more than 60 different species.
The Catering Department at Yorkshire Wildlife Park manages multiple eating outlets ranging from fast food restaurants, ice-cream kiosks, takeaway outlets and restaurants providing fresh, locally sourced foods made to order. The team work in a dynamic and fast paced environment to provide the very best food and beverage experience for our guests.
