Yorkshire Sculpture Park Review

The parkland and art installations are excellent, it's let down by very expensive parking

Interesting and varied exhibitions by acclaimed artists. Beautiful grounds

Great afternoon out. Really relaxing and brilliant sculptures around each corner.

Great sculptures from leading sculptuer in a beautiful landscape.

Extensive parkland area, with great art exhibitions set in an open gallery. A splendid place that has a restaurant, cafe and shop that is set in majestical grounds. It must be one of the finest art galleries in Yorkshire if not the North of England. A regular visitor will appreciate the changing art sculptures but also the seasons bring so much joy to observe flora and fauna.

Great day out for all the family, never heard a bad thing said about the park.

Lovely place. Most of the sculptures are awesome. I also like the concept a lot -- bringing sculpture out of the museums -- in the process allowing for some sculptors to really plan for sculptures to integrate better into the landscape. Just visited post-covid, and learnt that they get 80% of their funding from their cafe and little art-shop. Would recommend going and supporting even at the best of times, but even more so now, given that Covid put a huge dent into their business.

Perfect place to visit it. Just take care about your shoes!

Over priced car, park ,take a picnic as the cafe also over priced a bit disappointing that you can touch the sculptures,and some of the signs are so small to read

Expensive to park. Muddy under foot. Dogs to be kept on leads. Cafe overpriced.

Love this place some exiting sculptures and great landscapes

Love to take photos here. Looking forward to going back soon!

Nice cafe and visitor centre but hard for people with mobility issues to access the whole park. Paths to many of the Henry Moore sculptures virtually inaccessible. Very eroded pathways.

Yorkshire sculpture Park is a fantastic place but there is not enough signage or customer information located in the grounds.i visited today to look for the Walk of Art.It is really poorly signposted and I had to ask at the enquiry desk where the most recent part of the walk was,which was right at the far end of the park.

Beautiful place to go walking running or just chilling out loads of wonderful sculptures all around the park

It's an open-air gallery in West Bretton near Wakefield that straddles the border of West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire.

The park's collection of works by acclaimed artist Henry Moore is one of the largest open-air displays of his bronzes in Europe. Damien Hirst is also currently featured quite heavily due to the upcoming Yorkshire Sculpture International (inaugural) festival. (June-Aug 2019).

Some strange sculpture set in stunning surroundings, lots of walking but great day out.

Lovely day out. Well kept grounds. Had to turn back over the river due to a Highland Cow grazing... Warning signs were up but quite an intimidating beast if you have a pram with you.

Amazing place...lots of space and some great exhibits

A great place for a walk, to experience nature and art often combined.

The Alfredo Jaar exhibition is a moving, shocking and compelling experience. The final room helps you to understand what has formed him and his pieces. It will stay with you long after you have left and so it should. A must see for everyone in these times. February 2018

Lovely place to go walk and take in the art and sculptures. Shame about the price of the parking.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an incredible facility that suits visitors of all ages. With a nice modern visitor's centre at the entrance, indoor exhibition space and plenty of parking, to the rolling hills that make up the grounds of the park itself, there's something for everyone. Adults can enjoy the stunning sculptures from some of the world's best artists, and children can enjoy the acres of space to run around and the interactive elements of the park. We're lucky to have this place.

Great for passing a couple of hours some amazing sculptures and dog friendly so that why I have given It 5 stars

Amazing park excellent for a full day out, lots to see, suitable for wheelchairs, prams, those instead on their feet. good facilities, parking easy and reasonable cost.

Always something new to look at and explore. Set in stunning scenery.

What a beautiful setting for such wonderful artwork, I loved my visit and will be back again soon with my grandson, a wonderful day out and it was free!

Wonderfull views of yorkshire, the country park and lakes, we saw 5 occupied heron's nest's. Late April visit meant 3 galleries closed but will visit again as we often do to see what's on in the summer month's. Excellent facilities . Something for every age. Always improving.

Stunning place! We got to enjoy the nature, watch birds, animals, statues. Besides the food by the gallery is outstanding and the service is brilliant!

Terrific place for a day out. Amazing sculptures, grounds and surrounding countryside. Will be back at diffent times of the year to experience its beauty!

Really great day out with so much to see. Very enjoyable walks from 1/2 hour to 2 hours depending on your pace. Excellent brunch - tasty and filling - with a great cup of tea. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Can have a good walk, cafe is quite good too. Different sculptures added all the time.

Best attraction in the area. Great for walks, changing exhibitions, good vegetarian friendly food.

Large outdoor sculpture park with an eye-opening range of sculptures set across a wide and rolling landscape "garden". Modern visitors centre, exhibition space and cafe/restaurant on site, near the main car park. Free entry, but parking covers the costs of maintenance. Dog friendly across the site.

We come twice a year to see the changing seasons and new sculptures. Loved all the sculptures. Some are permanent. Some are temporary. Most are larger than life and outdoors. My only gripe is the cost of parking. It's great that they allow More

Lovely place to visit, despite overpriced parking and no play ground for kids...

Fantastic park, far bigger than I expected. Beautiful settings.

Great day out if weather is nice only thing I found for myself insufficient seats located around the walks as I have a back problem and find walking to far without a sit down very difficult

A great day out for all the family. Dog friendly too!

I love the sculpture park and my daughter lives near enough to be regular visitors ,my only issues lie with the parking charges and costs of restaurants ,cafes and believe they should work out better value visits such as parking refunded on using eateries perhaps .or special offers for going at quiet times .

We had a very good day here, and they had measures in place for social distancing better than we have seen at most venues. We are fairly regular visitors, and it is an excellent place to visit.

An amazing place with wonderful pieces of sculpture

A perfect treat after handing in my art portfolio for assessment. Ysp is an amazing of creativity and landscape combined

Fantastic day out in the sunshine on our most recent visit. Really unexpectedly fantastic meal in the Weston restaurant which offers a far superior class of food and service than expected (coming from someone with 25 years in hospitality). It's always a good day out at YSP regardless of the exhibition currently in place or the weather, now hugely enhanced by the addition of the Weston restaurant, I would now without doubt visit just to eat, this can not be said about most visitor attractions.

A wonderful day out in beautiful countryside. Some people moan about the "expensive parking" but you have to remember admission is free otherwise and they need to raise money for the upkeep of the site. It's a fantastic day out in any weather but especially when it's fine and you can take a nice long walk around the estate.

Great selection of artwork, parking a bit pricy but entry is free

My first trip and found it a gem
Sadly it was a awful rainy day
so cafes full The footpaths wet
but it was still great check my pictures

I thought it was a lovley place the sculptures are pretty well spread out & there is no entry fee all they ask for is you leave a small amount in a donations box. Car parking expensive but there is a cheaper one across the road. The day we went was a really hot day so we did not get to see all the sculptures.

This is a great day out. The only thing I would prefer is to have at least one cafe or area in a cafe that was dog friendly that was under cover. The day we went was nice so we were able to sit outside but when it's raining it's not really an option.

Big parkland with amazing sculptures by leading artists.

Just a fantastic place for a wander around, never a wasted journey

Great day out.
Free just pay for parking (there is a cheaper car park just a short walk but your parking fee helps with the upkeep of the park)
Food is also on the pricy side but of good quality.

All in all a great place for a day out for anyone especially kids as lots of space to explore.

Despite it being a wet day we thoroughly enjoyed walking the grounds and viewing the exhibits.

Great place to visit & get some fresh air during lockdown. Lots of precautions taken & hand sanitizer available at every gate

Impressive place, capturing the imagination even of someone like me who wouldn t describe themselves as arty! Lovely parkland and lakes setting to walk around

Lovely walks around grounds as well as fantastic sculptures

A good outdoor space. Plenty of sculptures and Goods walks. Car parking a little steep but the rest of the park is free.

A magnificent place to visit if you're in Wakefield. The parking, however, is extortionate. I appreciate it all goes back to YDP, but it's over priced. They do have great facilities for food and drink, though. This place would easily get 5 stars if the parking prices were fairer. Be sure to pop to Blacker Hall Farm Shop for picnic treats if it's a nice day!!

Lovely fresh lockdown day out. Well managed, clear signs and one way system. Online booking smooth as silk. Yorkshire Sculpture Park staff are a credit.

Great walking wonderful scenery and some incredibleart works

Great open space to exercise your body as well as your mind

Great place, big and really nice on my "must see" list

Fabulous place to wonder around with or without your dog and children. Lots of space for children to run and explore

I loved this place, plenty of walking, nice cafeterias, great works of art plus exhibitions to see.

Dramatic and impressive sculptures in beautiful park and woodland.
