The park has multiple entrances, includes a lake (with island), pedalos (dragon boats), cafe, mini golf etc. We visited straight after having some train rides just over the road. There was a bit of a wait for the dragon boats, but it is the school summer holidays...! We comfortably fitted the whole family in... although I regretted being volunteered by the kids to do the peddling!

Fabulous walk around the lake with paths suitable for all mobilities. Also woodland walks, again with proper paths. Wild animals and water fowl to watch. Plenty of seating. Nice little cafe

Not been for too many years but getting back remember why I love it. The walk around the lake is lovely watching the birds and plenty of seating so you can watch the world go by. Wonderful little piece of tranquility in a crazy world.

Stunning park close to North Bay beach. The park has something for everyone. The main attraction would be the pedal boats. There is an elevated island in the middle with an oriental building to the top. There is ample seating and toilet facilities. You can also observe wildlife here. Very well designed gardens. Great place for family picnics.

Lovely setting. Enjoyed the walk around the lake, Didn't go on the paddle boats but they looked great and didn't seem overly expensive. Really nice Chinese style buildings and a gazebo with a band stand in the middle of the lake.

Big park with a beautiful lake and island in the middle. There is a cafe and toilets, and you can also rent a pedalo. The best part for me was the tree trail. Very relaxing, especially with the wildlife like the squirrels and birds running and flying around.

A little gem of peace and quiet, just a couple of minutes from Scarborough North Beach. We visited in mid-September. Lots of waterfowl, grey squirrels begging for food. There's a cafe with very pleasant, friendly staff and lots of benches to sit and watch the birds on the lake.

We used our English Heritage membership for entry to Scarborough castle for a slightly more relaxed hour or two after visiting a rather busy south bay area! The walk up the hill to the castle was broken up by a quick play on the playground... Upon entering we was given the option of audio guides and also advised that there was some taskmaster activities, which obviously appealed to the kids as they have limited attention for actually going round the castle ruins! After listening and reading about some of the history we proceeded to the taskmaster activities, given instruction on how it runs and got started. There were 6 activities in total, all slightly different. These are great if you can be in a group of 4 to 6 people (with one acting as the scorer / judge for points). Kids (and grown ups) all enjoyed this and it was a bit different! After taking some 'winner' photos we carried on round the headland. The views from the headland / castle are wonderful, and there is so much history to learn about. They did have some guided tours which when I listened in on one sounded really informative! It's useful as a reminder that in terms of a castle there is not much left, you can climb part of the keep and walls and walk round the headland area. We enjoyed our visit, and the weather being pretty good certainly helped!

I visited there in June 2025. It was the best castle that I had ever seen. The castle is situated on the top of a hill. There was a large open space. The ground was covered with grasses which made it very green. I saw a play conducted in the field and the audiences were very interested on it. The entry of the castle was very similar to the great wall of China. Similarly, there are a few historic items like canon. Moreover, there is a small museum for showcasing ancient items. The ancient building was great though there was no option to visit it. A top platform was added there and tourist could go there to get the view of the city. The views from the platform were just picture perfect. One can see both north and south beach at the same time. You can buy food and ice cream from the restaurant. For the entry, you need a ticket and I purchased the ticket at a rate of 10 pound at that time.

Visited while we were in Scarborough for a few days. Bit of a climb if you’re walking but worth it. The castle itself has much to explore and there’s a surprisingly large meadow to walk around too. Epic views all around. Shop, Cafe and seating on site. It was a lovely day when we went but given its location I’m pretty sure you will feel the elements if you catch it on a bad day!

An amazing monument and historical site. There are 16 acres to explore and plenty of history. The interactive aspect via the audio tour is very good and it wasn't too crowded when we attended. There was a small cafe and public conveniences. There is a lot of walking to get to it and a lot of uneven ground, so those with mobility issues might be challenged. All in all a great experience.

The grounds are lovely with information boards dotted around. Great view of the sea and both sides of Scarborough, you can really tell why the picked this spot. The museum was a little lacking and had little items and seemed like an after thought. Cafe shack was nice but ice cream van wasn tooen when I visited so no idea on the price.

Great impressions from the visit. Very beautiful overview of the entire coast. There is a cafe, a place for children to have fun, an ice cream van. At the entrance there is a souvenir shop. Free maps of all the attractions of Great Britain. Welcoming, friendly staff who are ready to help with any questions. For Ukrainians, the entrance is free. I definitely recommend visiting, you will definitely not regret visiting.

National Heritage site. Beautiful views over both the North Bay and the South Bay. Great place to walk along the cliff path. Exhibitions to see, refreshments available at the Refreshment Shed. Clean public conveniences. Plenty of picnic tables and games for kids Access to most mobilities, quite a steep road and slope up to the castle itself. No problems for mobility scooter but a hard slog for people who have weakened walking. Weather on the day we visited was glorious, if a little windy

Absolutely great here lovely views of the coast from high ground. It is very hilly to walk around and the views are great. There is many amusements and gift shops plus many places to eat .

We had our wedding in the Sun Court and it was amazing from start to finish! From the moment of booking, to every part of our day, Naomi, and the team were outstanding! We had so many comments from our guests on, not only the stunning venue itself, but the gorgeous food and excellent service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as a wedding venue, thank you so much to all the staff at Scarborough Spa.

The Scarborough Spa is a great building 😁 parking is either in local car parks or street parking which can be difficult in the height of the summer season so we parked on a paid for private driveway for £3.50 just 10 minutes away. Security getting into the gig was quick with polite staff👍 No food allowed inside but you could buy inside at reasonable prices or go out with your wristband pass. Plenty of bars and a decent amount of very clean ladies loos 😜 you could take a small bottle of water into the venue but the biggest annoyance - nowhere to refill if needed and as it was sweltering outside it was double sweltering inside🥵 The bands were as always fabulous 😍 the lights and sound quality inside the Spa are brilliant and you can move around the venue whenever you feel like a change of view 😁 really looking forward to Ferocious Dog there later in the year 💯🥰

Been here twice for Fortress Festival. Great venue in a beautiful location and it's nice to see that someone money has been spent on the upkeep over the past year too. That's certainly not something you see in London or most other parts of the country. Already looking forward to coming back in 2026!

Amazing venue for a festival. Absolutely loved the building and its architecture. The location couldn't be better, right on the coast of the North Sea.

Fantastic location for a black metal festival. Very nice venue. Staff was very friendly. Plenty of bars. Great view.

Fortress Festival amazing! Staff brilliant! Could do with checking up on the 2003 licensing act though. They tried to deny me water. Other than that great staff all round.

Very good for adults and children. We found it very interesting and factual. We spent two and a half hours here, we didn't rush. You have to pay for parking which is not very much. I would recommend buying tickets online before you go as I paid full price which was £22.00 each. Had i booked online it would have been £16.00. But really good nevertheless.

We really enjoyed our visit to this sea life adventure. Easily accessible from town center via bus, it is open from 11-3. The tickets are affordable. Toilets as you enter and you can also take photographs which you get to buy later on in the trip. So many beautiful aquatic creatures in this well maintained habitat, the staff is very well informed and there are many places to rest during the trip. We spent 3 hours there and could have spent more if the only bus out was not running at 1350 (the next bus is 5 and sea life closes 3). Otter display was closed but the sharks and sea lions were our favorite. We got to see the sharks being fed and the gift shop was reasonably priced. We also met vipers! Each staff member was so friendly and lovely- thank you. Loved our visit and will go again.

Lovely day out for adults and children. Plenty to see and do. I advise coming for 11 am to see the animals being fed throughout the morning. Staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals, they were all happy to answer questions. We had lunch here also which wasn’t too badly priced and a decent selection available including veggie stuff.

Visited with 2 friends using my Merlin Annual Pass and prebooked tickets to have cheaper tickets. We attended the Seal, Penguin and Shark/Ray feeds and talks. Niamh was amazing. The knowledge provided was educational but also fun. Engaging for both children and adults. Niamh’s visible love for the job made for an energy that was just contagious. She was very friendly and answered questions when asked by anyone. The only negative was that there was construction work being done on the Otter habitat meaning that we were unable to see them. This also meant there was drilling and digging causing loud noises and re-directions around the complex. However this did not affect our day. Just means we will have to come again when it re-opens next year. A Fintastic day was had by us all.

OUT IF THIS WORLD!! I bought special tickets to to feed the Seals as a surprise for our 25th Wedding anniversary. This included a guided tour of the rest of the exhibits and our guide Bev was brilliant. We both use walking aids to get around and we didnt feel rushed. Once we made it to the seals we weee givena bucket of fish to feed them it was great to see them swimming round and catching the fish, we also got to feed the grey mullet. Included in the ticket was admission tickets to look round after the tour and a great breakfast cooked fresh, this was all before the doors actually opened to the public. We had also booked to go to the Deep a few days later, but we found ourselves comparing it to the sealife centre and felt let down because of how great the sealife centre was. If you have the chance to do something special then I recommend paying to feed the Seals. A big thank you to all the staff (especially Bev) at Scarborough Sealife centre for making our visit so special and memorable.

Booked online in advance. I loved this place and the staff are very knowledgeable and approachable, more than happy to answer any questions. So many different things to see and a very good restaurant if wanted or there are picnic tables near the otters to have your own food

Have been here before but definitely almost 20 years ago. Went on a cloudy Thursday, just gone 10 am (all children had gone to school, our 15 year old wasn't starting back until the Friday). Friendly staff, all of them...one guy was telling us some really interesting information regarding the jellyfish, was nice of him to take the time to answer our questions. We were able to walk round leisurely as not hugely busy. Saw the seals being fed and talk by Josh who was funny and knowledgeable. Saw the penguins being fed also, Bev gave that talk I believe. Spent between 2-3 hours here. Daughter loved it as she's a fan of aquariums. Cafe was good, nice selection of regular lunch food, sandwich selection, toasties, hot dogs, chips, nachos, onion rings etc so easy for many "particular" eaters and reasonable pricing. Toilets very clean. We just had to buy the souvenir photos at the end as well 🤣

I didn't know what entirely expect from the museum, but it's really just a museum about geology and costal things. IT'S TINY and you will be out in just about 30 minutes, but then it's just a fiver. On the other hand, that grants you entry to the gallery too. You can go in the big oval room and then there are two more rooms. Really not the biggest. If it was not ant history of the town, I'd be giving 5*. But the entry is still reasonable unlike some other museums.

Small but interesting museum in a fascinating building. £5 entrance fee for both museums is good value.

Small museum, but still some interesting exhibitions, especially the old maps/pictures of Scarborough. Visit takes around 30 minutes I would say, but I'd still recommend the Rotunda Museum. Buying a ticket also gives you admission to the Scarborough Art Gallery, so it's definitely worth the £5.

Lovely little museum. They had great crafts and activities on the day we visited. They also had lots of activity sheets for the kids to do too. It was great to have the sensory back packs too. The play area is well thought out with lots of different activities and toys.

Very interesting museum for everyone who is interested in topics such as fossils, biology, archeology, and similar. The museum seems to regularly host events. While we visited there was a fossil handling event going on. Everyone was extremely friendly and we learned a lot. It was very captivating.

Very small museum in Scarborough. The tickets cost 5 quid per person for an annual pass and it has a small display of fossils and further attraction for literary geeks.

Lots of interesting exhibits, fossils etc, I likes the big round room at the top.

We had dinner here with a friend of my husband who booked the table. I started with the calamari, my husband had the chicken pâté, and our friend ordered fresh oysters – all of which were delicious. For mains, I had the seafood marinara pasta, our friend had ravioli, and we also shared a pizza. Everything was great, no complaints at all – we all really enjoyed the meal. We didn’t order dessert because I was already full, but I did have an aperitif – a Frangelico, which I enjoyed. The service was consistently great throughout the evening.

Took my Wife for Dinner at this restaurant/bar. It is a lovely place and the food was excellent. It was very busy and we did have a bit of a wait for a table which is fair enough as we did book with fairly short notice. Unfortunately it was very warm and stuffy upstairs while staff did make efforts to cool it down with the air conditioning I think it would benefit from a window being open from time to time to let some air in. All in all I love the authenticity of the place, the decor is lovely and I would eat here again.

Beautiful-looking restaurant with a charming outdoor terrace—our evening started well with a fantastic cocktail and a warm atmosphere. We were lucky to get a last-minute table booking, and the place came highly recommended. However, the service let the experience down. Despite arriving early, we waited a long time to be seated, and even longer to be served. Our starter took over 30 minutes to arrive and was tiny. Mains (steaks) didn’t come out until nearly 10 PM, by which point we were too tired to enjoy them. Staff mentioned they were short-staffed when I asked, but communication and attitude were lacking—especially from the young man handling our bill, who was unnecessarily rude. A real shame, as the setting and cocktails had so much potential. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. 50:50 whether I’d give them another shot.

Fantastic Italian restaurant in Scarborough. Food was delicious, service was excellent as entire experience really good! Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Great food with a really good selection of vegan options. Great service and reasonable prices. A must visit whenever I'm in Scarborough.

Wow - quite simply the best Calzone pizza I’ve ever eaten. Luckily we managed to get a table booked in advance after reading previous reviews and good job we did as restaurant appeared fully booked out on a Monday night. We were seated straight away, drinks order taken quickly and delivered very quickly too. Food order was taken quickly and food arrived within about 15-20 minutes. Well worth the wait and we were in no rush. Huge calzone pizza for me and absolutely stuffed with filling and tasted incredible. Wife had a great pepperoni pizza also. Such a pity I’m not local but if I’m back in Scarborough I will definitely make another booking.

Food was excellent quality. I found the staff to be a little vague when asked about specifics on the menu, like they didn’t actually know. Also, served another table before us, though we were seated first. But they were all friendly enough and the food-delicious. A cute little cosy smoking area outside was a lovely little touch too.

Excellent Meal and Truly Wonderful Service! 5/5 Stars My recent dinner at Licorella was an absolutely fantastic experience. I simply must rave about the food, particularly the fish, which was utterly superb. It was perfectly cooked, fresh, and seasoned beautifully—easily the highlight of the meal. Beyond the delicious food, the service truly stood out. Our server was exceptionally attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. More than that, the service was genuinely sympathetic and warm, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. From the culinary skill to the gracious hospitality, Licorella provides a top-tier dining experience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing restaurant, food was out of this world! The prawns were to die for!! The waiter was friendly and very welcoming! I would visit again in a heartbeat when I'm next visiting scarborough! Honestly go try here you won't be disappointed.

Mixed reviews with the food. The starter was lovely as was the main . The spare ribs . But my partners main was over cooked and tasted burnt that was the pasta dish .

The food is absolutely amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to eat Spanish food but, can't be asked to travel to Spain! Customer service is perfect too!

Very friendly and enthusiastic waiters, the seafood is delicious, especially the seafood stew rice is very delicious.

Took my picky French boyfriend and my mum to this restaurant recently during our holiday. Food was excellent, can't praise it enough. Everything was home cooked and taste was amazing. We all really enjoyed our meal and would definitely go back there without hesitating.

This was very hard to rate. The restaurant feels like it's reaching for something beyond the average in its menu, although with mixed results. Excellent seafood. The decor and even the menu (as in the paper in a plastic folder) feel rather last century. However the service was super friendly and we got to meet the family. I could see the waiting staff chatting with the customers, so if you like that, this the place for you.

This is the second time we have stayed here, and I cannot praise it enough! Casey and Joe are the most amazing hosts. Genuine, lovely, helpful, and they go above and beyond. Such truly lovely, amazing people. We were made to feel like family as opposed to guests. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious. The decor is quirky and gorgeous. Immaculately clean. Joe does the most wonderful tasty breakfast, and Casey does a great coffee!! Stay here. You will love it!!

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here & I have to say it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, Joe & Casey were great, very welcoming to all our guests. The hot & cold buffet selection was amazing & plentiful, as was the gazebo, so beautifully decorated. We stayed the night with some of our guest staying also, & we all had an exceptional fresh breakfast next morning. I would definitely recommend this beautiful B&B for private functions as you get total privacy. It really is fantastic.

We had the mini afternoon tea. It was lovely and very reasonably priced. The owner was really friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend you give it a go. It looks a lovely place to stay. Peaceful, beautiful outlook

Lovely B&B. Really friendly hosts. Located within 5 to 10 min walk into Scalby which has some pretty buildings and nice pubs. Ideal location for getting if visiting Scarborough (we were attending a music event at Scarborough Open Air Theatre).

Went in today for takeaway sandwich 🥪 wow 👌 ordered bacon sausage egg also got ash browns on top good quality sausages Cumberland I think lovely service from walking in until leaving polite staff very nice clean place only noticed this place while watching temporary traffic lights outside on main rd but credit to owners

Wow wow wow... this place was amazing nestled in a beautiful rural part of Scalby. This was a very impressive place. A huge garden with lots of chairs tables sunshine and flora. The owners were a lovely couple who made us feel welcome immediately. This place offers great service wonderful food and drinks. Inside it is a feast for the eyes as it is like an aladins cave of curiosities. There was so much to look at. The bedroom was beautiful spotless and comfortable. Luxury bedding and shower products. Coffee tea and biscuits. The drink options in the bedroom were fantastic something for everyone's taste. The tv had sky netflix all the channels... this really is a hidden gem of a place where the owners go above and beyond with every possible perfect extra touch. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend x

I can't say a single bad word about this place. From the moment we arrived, we were greeting by our hosts, Casey and Joe, and they couldn't have been nicer. They are such genuinely lovely people and they have a really nice B&B with a fantastic atmosphere. The place is spotlessly clean and the room was gorgeous. We had the attic room. The room has plenty of space and a very comfortable bed. The room has all the facilities you would need including a TV, fan, hairdryer and kettle. They also provide you with plenty tea, hot chocolate, several varieties of coffee and some tasty cookies too. The room also has plenty of sockets for any electrical items. The bathroom is stunning and has a large free standing rolltop bath that faces the window and there is a nice view out the window. There is also a nice shower. The bathroom is stocked with plenty clean towels and plenty toiletries are provided too. The room was serviced each day, towels were changed as needed and tea and coffee etc. was re-stocked. For breakfast, the options are varied to suit all tastes and the quality of food is excellent and delicious. The cooked breakfast is particularly good and certainly sets you up for the day. We didn't get to eat any evening meals there, but the menu looks great and from what I have heard, their food is fantastic. Based on how good the breakfast is, I was not surprised to hear such positive words about their other food. The B&B is also licenced and they have a bar. We did not have a drink there, but they have a decent selection of beers and quite an impressive selection of spirits, and in particular, a good selection of whisky. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Foulskye. We have booked again for next year and we are already looking forward to going back. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Fabulous. It's quite surreal walking across Scarborough then finding this green decorated quietly cool and shady restaurant opposite the steampuss cat lounge (think a Victorian curiosity shop meets car barber). It was quite busy when we were in and think the staff were a bit worried about our 2 children disturbing the other guests on a Saturday but it turned out they were on their best behaviour. To the food. Foie gras parfait starter with a "wold" ale chutney and toast. Extremely well presented but slightly under seasoned. I mis-read the menu initially and asked if this came with a small beer but the beer was in the chutney. I think a half pint of ale on the side would finish this dish off and lift it to a higher level. Wife had lobster bisque that was incredibly deeply flavoured of the sea. Mains lamb rump dish had a super shiny gravy delicious mash and perfectly cooked lamb. Kale was in there somewhere. This is the best lamb dish I have ever eaten in all the (Michelin) restaurants I have been to. Wife had a ravioli that was top drawer. Pudding was the kind of thing you see at the banquet on great British menu a trio of strawberry delicacies in this case a strawberry sorbet, strawberry ice cream with chocolate lattice and strawberry cheesecake along with a crunchy spun sugar. By this stage I didn't notice what everyone else was eating as I was in strawberry heaven. Both children well catered for with fish goujons. So we had a superb time and the server's had personality and were happy to talk to us and this was the best meal we had of 5 on holiday across the north in the week. So why not 5 stars? A couple of small things. The gents door lock was broken and the loo roll ran out. With children we were back and forward to the toilet a few times so it was clear the toilet roll situation was not being checked. The second thing which is perhaps more important was the timing and taste of the wine. I ordered a glass of white to match my starter and it didn't arrive until after I had finished it. I was after something dry and crisp but it didn't quite hit the spot. I didn't fancy the standard rioja to go with my lamb so ordered the £30 crianza. This was a bit ropy and I think it should be ditched from the menu altogether. When we first arrived we were provided with a bin end wine list. Not sure why. There was a separate drinks menu on the table. This was a bit confusing. Surely the bin ends can go on sale or return? My pre dinner cocktail was delicious and I highly recommend all the cocktails. I loved this restaurant and the staff and I think they should get some advice from a sommelier and shorten the wine list a bit but add some quality. I would be adding some french organic white and Provence rose as well as some Grenache and Australian pinot as well as some old rioja reserva if I could however I'm aware wine is very much in the tasting. Not sure when I will be back in Scarborough but if you like proper cooking book a table and get down there. A real hidden gem.

Great staff with fab customer service skills. All have been wine trained as well so can offer pairings with whatever you choose. Food is quick to arrive and cooked to perfection. Amazing every time

Booked for dinner as we read great reviews about Green Room. Our main course was just average, chicken and fish both over-cooked and dry. The desserts are nicely presented and tasty. The service staff was friendly and the restaurant set up is lovely!

The staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. I really recommend the pan fried chicken and the popcorn creme brulee. Had some fantastic cocktails. My favourite was the champagne cocktail. They also played great music and I love the fairy light and candle lighting.

Called in for lunch with my son. We were seated quickly. We chose a full English breakfast and the cajun chicken sandwich. Lovely food and environment. Happily revisit

We visited Scarborough as part of our honeymoon and decided to dine here and what a fantastic choice we made. The food was impeccable and more than enough in portion size too. We were made to feel welcome by the staff from the outset and they are very efficient and courteous. They asked if we'd eaten there before and we told them we were on our honeymoon. Afterwards they surprised us with 2 glasses of champagne and a dessert. Wow we were very taken aback at their impromptu kindness. We would highly recommend dining here if you visit Scarborough as we will certainly be returning soon.

Food was very lovely. It may be a bit pricey but what you get makes up for it. Staff was very helpful as well.

We loved this little chippy. So glad we managed to get a seat inside. It’s a shame it’s such a small indoor seating area because the food is so so good. The fish was cooked perfectly. The chips were the best chips I’ve ever had from a chippy. We ordered cheesy chips and it was drowning in cheese, just perfect. The portions are so generous too. The staff are the friendliest. Would 1000% recommend.

Hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. Great tasting chips the batter is really nice, the scraps are delicious and the haddock and sausage was perfect. Great service lovely people working here, thank you for starting our holiday off perfectly

We ordered the Light Fish & Chips with cod, and even this lighter option was impressively generous. The fish was fresh, tasty, and pleasantly light – not greasy like in many other places. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Makes us wonder how huge the standard portion must be if the light one was already so big! 🙂

Haddock & Chips, mushy peas and a pot of tea, fish was nice and sweet with light crispy batter, chips crispy on the outer nice & fluffy inside. fresh peas. £17.75 all in delicious and and worth it. Sat in the cafe at no additional cost, staff were friendly and attentive.

Fantastic fish and chips, with Steam cod option for gluten-free member of our party. We was lucky enough to get to sit in the cafe (not many seats, but lovely setup. So get there early or plan food around possible 30min wait for them to turn the tables around), although there is a takeaway outside. Quality was first rate, clean plates all round and the icing on the cake was Simon who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to go again.

Must be one of the best fish and chips in Scarbrough, both take away and eat in. P If you want to try these superb freshly cook fair the you must be willing to Q but it’s more than worth it. They only have 20 places! Cod chips and peas for just over £13 I ask if it was 1980’s week because the prices were. The reply was we have good food service and prices and that’s why we are so popular !! I agree!!!!

Amazing fish and chips! Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Small cafe to sit down but the staff will try their best to make it work.
