Access arrangements
Our current policy allows free admission for carers on a 1:1 basis. Should there be a requirement for more than one carer these will be charged standard admission fees. To obtain free entry to Tropical World, carers must provide at least one form of the following identification:
- ID from care home or employer
- Care allowance claim letter or DWP/DLA/PIP letter that states you are in receipt of a carer's allowance
- Metro bus pass for disabled which states 'Plus One’
You must visit with the person you care for, to gain free carers admission.
Mobility scooters are available to hire for use at Tropical World and Roundhay Park. Please call before your visit to arrange this.
If you have any additional access requirements please phone us on 0113 535 2132 at least half an hour before you plan to visit to discuss them.
Visiting guidelines
Please respect other visitors and our staff, and where possible maintain a safe distance and where applicable follow the one-way route.
Avoid touching enclosures and tanks, and please use our hand wash and sanitation stations available throughout the attraction.
Our friendly staff are here to help, if you do have any questions please ask them for advice and assistance.
Toilet facilities are available in the cafe and shop. Please note, we do not currently have access to a changing places toilet facility.
Unfortunately, we do not allow dogs (including assistance dogs) into Tropical World due to the free flight birds, animal welfare and the risks this poses.
Changes to the Collection
Both our bat species the Seba’s Short-Tailed Bats and Egyptian Fruit Bats were moved to Lotherton Wildlife World in November 2020. They have been housed in their purpose built nocturnal facilities.
Look out for holes in the leaves throughout the attraction, where a small Owl Butterfly population has continued to breed and watch out for the caterpillars in the Butterfly House. Our butterflies also can be spotted at the feeding stations amongst the vegetation.
