York Minster Enterprises Reviews

Nice historical place to visit. Went down into museum part of minster very interesting. Climbed all stairs to roof great view.

Climbing the tower for me, a mid-teenager, was the best part as the sights were great. The facts in the Minster however, were interesting, but I would rather go somewhere more engaging.

You're going to York so go all the way and take a walk around here. Very nice and serene

Gothic cathedral with millennia of worship and celebration to Jesus

Absolutely beautiful inside. I'm just not sure if it's worth 12 pounds.

Beautiful medieval building. Rich in history and art

Solemn, beautiful, ageless and a classical holy fixture of British culture, the York Minster was an exceptional place of hallowed halls to visit. It's sacred architecture is not only beautiful to the eyes but uplifting to the heart. It has a transcendent majesty to it that is perfectly awe inspiring.

Be sure to take the tour up to the very top, if you are skinny enough and brave enough! Quite a view up there!

It's a beautiful well kept place, steeped in history

Great venue but does not fully comply with the quality of care act. Was charged consession with free carer upon entry, but then paid full price for the tower climb. It was not mentioned that it would be full price, I was just charged.

Great place to visit whether you are religious or not

The momentum is like a rainbow, and it has a profound historical heritage. The underground museum can take a look. It is difficult to go up the tower. The space is very small.

Unfortunately we only had 1 hour in York. Therefore, we have only circumnavigated the cathedral. The building is beautiful, so huge and rich in detail.

The minster is a fantastic historical place to visit. You could spend all day in n there viewing the items and artifacts plus soaking up it's history.

What can you say about such a magnificent human creation? It beggars belief, that this thing was built, as and when it was. No visit here could ever, ever, be wasted - just come, see, gasp, and give grateful thanks. You won't regret it.

Fantastic cathedral ... I loved the architecture and history associated with this English work of art. I recommend the visit.

Beautiful building with a fantastic history.

Great to visit and walk around.

Looks really nice and grandiose on the outside, and the size hits you. However, the price is expensive and it looks like any other on the inside. Not worth going in so much as looking from outside. The staff aren t extremely courteous and for some unknown reason ushered us out 45 minutes before the schedule Evensong.

While I did not go inside the Minster I think it was closed for the day. Just looking at the outside was incredible, so much detail. It must have taken some unbelievably skilled people a very, very long time to build the Minster

Lovely architecture, great tour and great views from the tower (although it is all "caged"). The 275 steps up the tower could be difficult for some.

Beutiful, well worth a trip to see the view from the top. Afterglow was awesome.

Really quaint pub and pie and mash was delicious! Friendly staff and a nice little outdoor area.

It is just too big to review. It has all the things it should with alters, stained glass windows , wood work, gargoyles, crypts, etc. The 1 hour tour is included with the admission and do that first. The crypt has a tour and free part. The free area was plenty for me. The tower climb was fantastic with 15 min of stair climbing to get to the top. I took the hidden tour with the exploration of the mason's loft and the attic of the Chapter house. It was impressive to see how all the rafters were put together.

Absolutely breathtaking. Definitely one of the most evocative cathedrals you'd ever experience in the UK. Best thing is, you can get all year round tickets

Lots of history at this cathedral worth to pay the extra pounds to go to the top of the minster. It's quite expensive to go if you're not using the York Pass and if you're planning to go to other museums. When I went some parts were in process of renovation but I'm sure once it opens it will be worth even more. In a nutshell you will see beautiful architecture, interesting glance of history, important figures buried like archbishops.

I don't like paying to go into a place of worship but am happy to donate. This is however, a bargain and well worth the visit and money.

Absolutely beautiful but expensive to go around especially if you are a family

The atmosphere you feel like you have stepped back in time.

An example of why York is still this country's capital city of the North.

The Minster is the must-see site in York - and indeed, it is so huge, you can't avoid seeing it ad you walk about town. The exterior is massively impressive, and the interior does not disappoint. Climb the tower for a cardiovascular workout and magnificent views; explore the undercroft to learn more about the history of the building, and the preservation work that saved it from collapse in the last century; take a guided tour to hear fascinating details about the architectural details; or just sit and be still in one of the most monumental places of worship in Europe. And if you have a York card, it's free!

I think it is one of the best in England. Surrounded by old town York, so handy to go shopping after visiting the Minster. A must see place in York.

York's cathedral church is one of the finest medieval buildings in the UK. Gothic cathedral with vast stained glass windows, interactive Undercroft exhibition and tower tours. Highly recommended...

We love the Architecture the History and places like this in General. I understand that buildings like this require a vast upkeep but I object to being expected to pay to visit. Visit an equivalent place in France / Spain you're not pressured at all.... Just my 10 pence worth.
Raise money by

2) charge "foreign visitors", once again a token charge. Explain they don't pay taxes for upkeep were as "locals" do.

There are enough visitors without getting greedy re charges.
Thank you.

Very beautiful church very impressive, we will be back! A pastor there blessed us, we like that so much!
At the top of the tower you can enjoy beautiful views leider there is no elevator, but many steps, about 280 steps.

World renown as the largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Never fails to impress.

Amazing place to see. The architecture is breathe taking.

Just walking around the outside of the Minster is amazing.

Some restoration working taking place at the moment but it's nice to see how the workers are meticulously restoring parts of the outer stone to its former glory.

Stained glass is magnificent to see and the gardens next door a a must for a picnic or just a walk through.

Amazingly big minster. Interesting and beautiful. But in my opinion it s very expensive. We decided to go after all, and enjoyed it. But I still think it s overpriced.

Breath taking - it must rival Westminster Abbey in Architecture.

3 stars due to the cost of entry being so high. Once you're in it is a unique experience. There are few places like this left in the UK. A must-see when visiting York. If you love medieval cathedrals then you have to visit.

It's a massive building, the architecture is amazing. Go for a guided tour well worth it it takes an hour , the guides are very knowledgeable. The passes last for a year you will need to go back, lots to see and learn. The Blue Peter bosses are worth seeing (take binoculars!)

Expensive to get in. The front of the cathedral is amazing though

Architectural masterpiece. When visiting York - visiting this place is necessarily.

Amazing feat of engineering, don't miss the basement museum to see how they saved the church from disaster.

Fantastic. Go to evensong to for a unique experience and it's free which is even better

Eleven pounds to get into a church,,,, it's lovley but why not just go to Liverpool and see a much better Anglican church for free?

One of the best cathedrals in the world. Just make sure to take the guided tours as it makes a lot of difference.
