Great day out in all weather. Lots to see and do. Had little trouble parking. Gallery & mill shops to enjoy. Small village with some nice shops, inc a bakery & arts and crafts. If you want to be outside, large beautiful clean park to stroll around in pathed walkways. Riverside pub/bistro to enjoy refreshments serving nice food & beer on tap. Nip up to the tramway for a little bit of historical cheap fun, very well run by hardworking & passionate volenteers.

I had a fabulous day. The art by Hockney is astounding. The exhibit showing his process was especially fascinating. We ate in the diner. Twas a lovely meal and the staff nicely attentive. Free parking, free art by premier artists, a fabulous building in wonderful surroundings. Great use of an old building. What's not to love?

My favourite place in Yorkshire! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and still love it now. Great selection of shops, art, restaurants! Really well looked after building and I can spend hours in here!

A fascinating historic mill that has been transformed into a vibrant hub for arts, culture, dining, and community life. It’s best known for its impressive collection of David Hockney’s work, which alone makes it worth a visit. Alongside the art, you’ll find excellent dining options, engaging displays on the mill’s history, and insights into the surrounding village. With ample parking and so much to see and do, it’s an ideal place to spend the day.

Incredible place, We Will Sing is amazing and is highly recommend a visit just for this, I really wish I could buy a vinyl album of the recording it was breathtaking. But there are also wonderful shops with books, stationery etc. Quite a few eating options, the carrot cake in the upper cafe is heavenly! And of course the artwork is fantastic. Very highly recommend!

Loved this old industrial building, wonderfully preserved. Went to the free Hockney exhibition and perused the gallery upstairs and bolt on antique store. It looked like a great cafe in the place too. All in a beautiful part of the world. What a great place to walk around Saltaire is.

I hadn’t been to Salts Mill for a few years so it was lovely to be able to visit on Friday before we did the Shipley to Bingley 5 Rise Locks walk. The building itself is huge and very impressive then every door has so much to offer. There’s a lovely relaxed feeling throughout the building with staff and visitors enjoying the environment. We had a brief look at the seconds floor but then headed up to the third floor to have coffee in the Opera cafe.This is also the location of the David Hockney Gallery and it really works! I have seen Hockney’s work displayed in other venues less successfully but the sheer amount of space here was perfect to display the larger pieces. Our coffee and cakes were delicious and set us up nicely for our walk. I’ll definitely be coming back to spend more time in Saltaire and Salts Mill. Highly recommended!

We had a great time visiting the Bradford Science and Media Museum. The exhibits are engaging, interactive, and perfect for visitors of all ages. I especially loved the hands-on science displays and the fascinating film and TV history sections. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The gentleman giving the talk about the planets was fun and engaging. The museum offers a great mix of education and fun, with plenty of opportunities to explore and learn in a lively environment. Whether you’re interested in science, technology, or media, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

100% worth a visit. Free entry for most but a fee exhibits you pay extra to go in. The video game floor is by far the best £3 and you can play loads of retro and classic video games. (Also makes me feel old that video games are in a museum 😢)

Free entry to a fun packed, interactive experience. Suitable for all ages. No time limits. Small entry charges to some exhibits. A great family day out. Cafe and toilets.

Good museum with free entry. Wonderlab was the kids favourite area. Spent around 2 hours. Lifts take ages so easy to just use stairs. Has a gift shop.

Great day out with the kids, lots to do and they particularly enjoyed IMAX. Staff were lovely too. For an idea of ages, I took 7 and 11 year old boys.

Great variety of interactive and engaging exhibits, covering everything from photography to the internet. Good overall, and the free entry makes it fantastic value.

Oh the nostalgia! I used to visit here as a kid (maybe 15 years ago 😳). My visit today was the perfect combination of childhood memories and brand new experiences and IT’S FREE! Five floors of exhibitions…something for everyone. It’s a must if you’re in the area.

This was a solid bakery to grab lunch, with the options presented clearly at the counter! Staff were approachable and very welcoming when I put in a donation, service was fast too. I enjoyed the unique chicken curry pasty and a couple of hash browns served on a red plate, seating is comfortable and table kept smooth!

I was shocked and appalled at the eat in vs take away prices. And no mention of the grossly inflated prices by the till staff. Granted, I should have paid more attention, but it’s clear underhanded ethics. Also granted, its not a terrible place to get takeaway if you don’t sit down, but it was probably the worst value meal I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The tea and hot chocolate was terrible too. Conned and ripped off

Called in for a coffee and a Hot Sandwich. £1.50 extra for tomatoes on a large bacon sandwich which wasn't no where near a flat cake. Coffee ok, but only luke warm. Was told by the lovely member of staff it would cost extra to eat in, (ok i can understand that) BUT £4.90 EXTRA FOR 2 OF US IS SHOCKING. They need to put eat in prices at side of other prices. The Sandwiches were really nice, but hiding how much they charge for eating in. Wont be going back. 🤬🤬

I love this place! The staff are always friendly and chatty and they make the best cheese sandwich in the land! Not stingy with the fillings either , very generous and you get a bowl of crisps. Their hot chocolate is 10 out of 10 with lots of whipped cream on top and marshmallows if requested ( although I'm vegetarian so I just have with the cream).

Don’t get the positive reviews for this place. Was passing through and bought a few items. The iced doughnut was super salty and not sweet, the chocolate eclair was rock hard, the cappuccino tastes like a latte, and the croissants were super doughy. It was early in the morning so there’s that, but not a great reason. Nice location that’s about it.

Nice sausage roll in a local bakery thronging with customers. Bit pricey mind. Better than Greggs I guess.

Great bakery with lots if choices. We shared a hot beef & red onion sandwich with mustard mayo & a steak bake with a dessert cream meringue enough for 2 people at £10.00 super value and great quality.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to the theatre staff (especially the tall gentleman with glasses) and bbc production crew member who helped us on Sunday 12th October. My girlfriend and I booked tickets for us and our little girl to see the CBeebies panto on Sunday (or so we thought!) We arrived at the theatre early to make sure we could find our seats and get settled. We’d been sat in our seats for about ten minutes when, as kids do, she decided she needed the toilet. While I waited for my girlfriend and little girl to come back, a family arrived and looked a bit confused. ‘Sorry I think these are our seats’ we checked tickets and they noticed my tickets were for the night before! I felt awful, my little girl would be devastated if we had to leave. I thought I’d ruined the whole day. I gathered our things and made my way back to the exit to find my girlfriend in full panic mode. I saw a lady from the bbc production crew and begged her for help. She was so kind and understanding, she just said ‘don’t worry, it happens more than you’d think, we’ll sort something’. She went and found a member of the theatre staff (possibly the manager - the tall gentleman with glasses - wish I’d got their names!) who advised it was a full house but if we followed him he’d sort something out. 2 minutes later we were sat down in time for the panto and our little girl was none the wiser (she just thought we’d been given better seats!). It was completely our fault and they could have just shrugged and asked us to leave, but instead they went out of their way to help and avoided breaking my little girls heart, for that I’ll be forever grateful.

Pre-Show: Great waiting area, loads of space at the bars, rare to get a seat before a show starts but there were so many tables it made it quite easy. I did not buy any food or drink at the venue as I took my own water in and I saw other people with snacks so loved this aspect of the venue. The queue for the merchandise was ridiculously long and poorly placed (on the stairs so people were trying to get by). A second merchandise location would've helped. The toilets weren't busy when I went and there were a few dotted around which felt suitable for the theatre size. During show: I was in the Dress Circle, Row A, Seat 19. There is a railing that slightly obstructed my view but once the lights were down it was barely noticeable. The circle railing was at a good height to look over (I'm 5'3" and could see fine without leaning forward). The staff were helpful and seating space was good. The Show: I saw Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief which was surprisingly better than I expected. I would recommend it to fans of mythology and the book/movie/TV show. Overall, after being in quite a few cramped London venues recently I really enjoyed the amount of space at this venue both inside the auditorium and front of house.

Watched the matinée performance of Mary Poppins. It was absolutely fantastic. Everyone on the stage was amazing. A must see show. The Alhambra is a lovely venue to watch a show. Comfy seats.

We ventured to Bradford from Wakefield. Theatre really easy to find, but then again it is world famous and plonked right bang in the middle of the middle of the city.Disney’s Mary Poppins was our choice for a Sunday Matinee performance. Everything about our experience was truly and wholeheartedly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. The staff would go that extra mile to be helpful, I will definitely be visiting again.

Went to see Matilda and had a throughly entertaining evening. The theatre is bursting with character having enjoyed a very long and distinguished history. The architecture is, I think, stunning. The attention to detail is from an era when we took time to present in a far more discerning way. The seats are comfortable and, from tge dress circle, give a great view of tge stage. As far as Matilda, the production was brilliant, great acting, singing, laughs, lighting, special effects just fantastic. Top marks.

Went to see Mary Poppins, absolutely amazing! Couldn't fault it! The theatre set it off perfectly.. good facilities with friendly staff. Easy to get to with parking nearby and plenty of resteraunts too. Will happily go again 😀

Always a great experience, the production of Hamilton was amazing. Tge theater is a imposing building with amazing architecture and a great view from the very good restaurant on the upper floor. Disabled parking is great with easy access to the main building and lifts to the upper floor and restaurant. All in all a great theatrical experience. Top marks will be back soon.

Such a beautiful and lovely place to visit. They have everything from fish, plants, outdoor decorations, barbecues, cafes, playgrounds, snacks & food, pet feed & toys, plants and more. I love the beautiful array of indoor plants, seeing the Koi Carp, the frozen bakery treats (great for the airfryer) and just walking around! There is so much to see :)

Fabulous garden centre with lots of areas. Plants to trees to gifts to bedding. Lots of eateries. Fabulous soft play area along with a huge outdoor area. My grandkids love the bouncing pillows and zip wire. We booked an outside cabin for an afternoon with afternoon tea. The food itself was a bit disappointing: every sandwich was tuna. I wouldn’t pay for the picnic lunch again. Despite this my grandkids had a wonderful visit.

I visited Grass Hoppers today with my three young children, and we all had a fantastic time. The indoor and outdoor play areas kept my kids entertained for hours, and everything was spotlessly clean. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the step in the toilets to help little ones reach the sink. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. There is a really good selection of snacks and drinks and the coffee was really good! As we were leaving, my 7 year old daughter got lost for a few minutes, and I was understandably panicking. The staff at reception responded immediately and knew exactly what to do, they handled the situation calmly and professionally, and my daughter was found quickly and safely. I’m so grateful for their quick action and kindness. A wonderful, safe, and family friendly place, we’ll definitely be back!

Love this garden centre. Part of a group. The plants are always top quality. Staff are very knowledgeable. The restaurant is very good, the breakfast is really nice. Fresh products taste so much better!

Visited for a birthday meal in The Mezzanine restaurant. Had the Sunday beef roast dinner which was excellent. Prices are reasonable and the menu, besides the roast, had a decent offer. Service was good and expectations managed by explaining that they were busy and there might be a wait - there wasn't! The garden centre is extensive and had great seasonal sections - Christmas at present. Plenty typical of parking but it can get VERY busy! Worth a look.

Its been many years, since I've been to Tong garden centre. We decided to have a trip out to the centre on Sunday for the lovely Christmas decoration displays, Very surprised how it has expanded. Though very busy, plenty of space to look around. We decided to have lunch, we went to the upstairs restaurant plenty of empty tables we went to sit down when we were rudely abruptly asked if we have booked, we said no, to be told it was full all tables booked. If that was the case why so many empty tables at 2pm in the afternoon & where were all these people that had booked. We went to the cafe down stairs no problem getting a seat there were plenty of tables free. Ordered our food. The service was very slow food Pilling up on the counter waiting to go out, getting cold. Our food came it wasn't hot. My order got forgotten I had to reorder again waiting staff were very slow they obviously can't cope with the size of the cafe. My experience of our visit, I won't be back in a hurry.

I recently visited Tong Garden Centre and was really impressed by how beautiful and clean the place was — it’s such a lovely spot to walk around and browse. However, I was quite disappointed with the food. I ordered a jacket potato with tuna, and unfortunately, it was awful — it tasted obviously reheated and not fresh at all. Such a shame, as everything else about the visit was wonderful. I’d definitely go back for the garden centre itself, but I’d think twice before eating there again.

Wonderful place to visit for the young or old. From the Three Rise Locks, we walked a short distance to see the Five Rise Lock. We were so lucky to see all 8 locks working, it took a while for the barges or narrow boats to move up and down the locks, but well worth it. At the top of the Five Rise Locks, cross over the Leeds Liverpool Canal and you will find a delightful cafe serving some local Yorkshire cakes. Order your food and find a table (inside or out), kick off your shoes and relax and the barges pass through the beautiful and relaxing scenery of the Yorkshire countryside.

4th time i have walked from Hirst Wood in Saltaire. Brilliant walks up on Shipley Glen & in the woods along the canal & the river Aire. Really enjoyed my latte in the cafe and the views are sublime.

Not like Five Rise Lock but yeah it has it’s own beauty with Three Rise Lock. Love to walk around n enjoy the views.

Suppurb example of 1700s engineering. Walk 5minues towards Leeds for the 5 lock section.

Great scenery and only a five minute walk into Bingley Town Centre

Nice walk on the canal will get to 3 rise locks and then on to 5 rise locks. Good to see and watch the boats going through a lovely bit of engineering. Good area and scenic worth a walk

Fantastic, great experience going down the locks. Really appreciate the help from canal and river trust staff
