Stayed at the Hive hotel “Hex” in August 22 for the Yorkshire nights concert. It was a very very expensive night out for my daughter and I. Firstly I booked a balcony room as the website said these rooms had views of the wildlife park. In my head I was dreaming of sounds of Jungle and waking up to the lions roaming in the morning sunlight! In reality we got non of this. Our view featured no animals - our view was the shops in the Hive.. and a building site. Our room was nicely done was small. It all just looked a bit ‘ikea’ and cheap looking. Breakfast was extra - so I booked breakfast, but then found out I couldn’t get hot chocolate for my daughter as part of our £20 per person breakfast! It was rubbish to be honest. So our room was £170 per night. Breakfast was £20 per person. No tickets were included. But the most annoying part was the 30-40 minute walk to the area where the concert was taking place. Through the safari park and on past the mucking out areas, the water treatment works which stink and the tons of mosquitoes. All in all it was a huge waste of money. Next time we go to the night time concert I’ll book the parking next to the concert site and a hotel up the road for 1/4 of the price!!

The Yorkshire Hive is attached to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, you do not need admission to the YWP to enjoy the Hive which has a number of shops, ranging from clothing, toys 🎎 coffee ☕ bistro, sweets 🍭🍬🍫 garden, beer 🍺 gin, beauty salon, uproar play barn etc. Parking 🅿️ available in the short stay car park adjacent the main YWP car park, handy to kill a few hours and chill with the kids, friends and customers if you want to showcase a bit of Doncaster's finest. It's a little gem, and I believe where this year's Christmas market 🎄 will be held. Please click the like button ✅👍🤩

Fantastic place to bring the kids and family alike, plenty to do and places to eat. Soft play is spot on and the wildlife park gets better every year.

The Yorkshire Hive is the entertainment area before the gates into the wildlife park. So you could go there with the kids for the soft play, outdoor kids' theatre, trampolines, sweet shop, ferris wheel, restaurants etc. There are also live music concerts, with experiences like Tina Turner and actual acts like olly murs and the vamps. You can stay at the hotel or book childrens parties at the Hive. The car park is huge and free, with disabled parking and a drop-off zone and short stay. Best visited on a dry day, although there's plenty to do indoors too.

Interesting new area added onto Yorkshire Wildlife Park. For this place to really work i think they need some more stores and a mixture of other restaurants. Same for the hotel they’ve added here - the idea is really interesting but without anything special like proper views of the animals, or late night access to the park there isn’t really much of a reason to stay here.

Very fun place for children. It was clean and numbers were comfortable. It was like most places like this, expensive for foods and drinks. My son and I loved the dinosaurs at the roar barn and there is so much to do, have fun trying to keep up with your little one lol the good news is there is only one exit and I is manned. Even though I didn't always have eyes on my son I never felt scared of losing him.

The Hive is a series of shops of different themes, a welcome addition to the wildlife park and can be accessed free from outside the main park. There is also a animals themed hotel so you can stay and then visit the park. Haven't stayed in the hotel but looks amazing online. Plenty of free parking although you might have to walk a little at busy times. The shops and restaurants are all new and high quality and a lovely place to browse and buy. There's a wide range of shops, restaurants and even a beauty salon, so lots to see. A good addition before or after seeing the park or even if you just fancy a shopping experience. Wheelchair friendly although the paths into the park are gravel so hopefully will be ok on a wet day etc. Toilets onside and right next to the kids indoor soft play facilities (entrance fee applies for use of soft play) All in all a great place to see and right next to the new ferris wheel which gives an amazing view of the entire wildlife park. Enjoy!

Took my children and husband we had a lovely day, my 2 year old walked almost the whole way around as she was enjoying the animals and the fresh air.

Didn't explore it too much but looked like plenty of things to attend and a cool dinosaur restaurant I'd like to visit I just went for the winter illuminations

We took the kids to uproar so they could play in the play barn with all the dinosaurs 🦕 and have a little bite to eat while we sat and watched. Then they played outside with all the dinosaur eggs and went on the ferris 🎡 wheel

Nice area the play center Is very good for little ones

Great wild life park. Whole family loved it.

Had a lovely day with our grandchildren, the approaching roads were very congested so allow extra time. We had only booked the play barn and evolution to eat. Kids had an amazing time playing then eating . You definitely need to pre book at least a week in advance to guarantee your times.

Love the hive, especially the wool den. I get most of my yarn from there since it's very nearby, and it a very cozy atmosphere
