  Can't get enough of it!

  Current

  I love tropical world. It's like stepping out of yorkshire for a few hours and into a magical place where there's a constantly changing climate that goes from warm to toasty!
  
  There's enough there to keep kids and big kids like me bobbing about smiling with joy. First off you get some insecty things, which seem like a letdown until you pass through the floor-to-ceiling blinds and into the tropical zone. Butterflies flutter about while the biggest carp you'll ever see swim around ducks and turtles.
  
  Then there's some fancier fish, Meerkats, a night zone with some nocturnal animals (they're on a different lighting clock so they're up and about during the day).
  
  Loads of fun for anyone and everyone, and a great date idea :)
  
  Best of all, if you have a Leeds card, entry is free.

  Tropical World

  Current

  Me and two of my house mates took a visit to tropical world one day when we were bored.
  
  The fact it is basically in roundhay park is a great advantage because you can just lazy around in the park once you have been.
  
  Overall the tropical world is ok, the main problem is it is a tropical world but so it is extremely hot alot of the animal tanks were empty but there were a few cute little animals like the mere cats.
  
  For us it was a bit of a let down but I remember I used to love it when I was younger so I would definatly recomend taking your kids there.

  Great Place for Kids

  Current

  Tropical World in Leeds is a great place to take kids because it is educational as well as being an attraction the family can enjoy.
  
  It is very welcoming and the prices are more than acceptable given the attraction that lays in wait. With a huge range of plants, butterflies and insects on offer, with loads of information too, it's a wonderful place to visit.
  
  The cafe, loos and extras are all in excellent order, clean, good prices and good parking with lots of space.
  
  Visit here if you have the time, it's a good tourist attraction!

  Tropical World

  Current

  I decided after hearing so many recommendations it was time to take the family along for a day out after living in Leeds for nearly 8 years I was embrassed that i'd never been. I had certainly been missing out too this place is great.
  
  Really easy to find its signed posted all around Leeds
  
  Parking is free which is great but the car park is quite a walk from the attraction for very young children so you might want to make sure you take a push chair.
  
  We had to que to get in but it wasn't more than 5 mins waiting.
  
  First we entered the butterfly house which was warm and humid. It is full of exotic plants and tree and it didn’t take long to spot a butterfly they are everywhere flying around and no remotely bothered by the visitors and fly really close to you. Its wonderful walking round it feels your a million miles away from the cold and wet weather you usually find in Leeds it a great place to escape for a few hours on a grim day.
  
  Next we came to some rather large fish tanks which had huge fish in them they were seriously impressive I never seen anything like them before both adults and children where fascinated by them they certainly drew in the crowds.
  
  The Nocturnal Zone was a bit of a disappoint for me I spent whole time worrying I would lose my son in the dark with the crowds and rushed through so my eyes didn’t get chance to adjust properly so I couldn’t spot anything but there is meant to be lots to see.
  
  The Meerkat weren't there at our visit they were having a holiday where ever they were I hope they were having a good time.
  
  Also there a gift shop and a cafe.
  But as your in Roundhay park there are lots of lovely places to picnic outside.
  
  Here’s the address and opening times and prices the best bit is Leeds card holders get in free.
  
  Tropical World, Princes’ Avenue, Roundhay, Leeds LS8 1DF
