Looks lovely - great gardening supplies and the fairground is fun. Very busy today as it's half term: I would have eaten at the café but it was crowded and noisy. I will come again another time as the menu looks lovely and the staff friendly. A great, airy, light-filled space surrounded by colourful flowers - heaven!

Great place to visit the playground is fab , nice food in the cafe and delicious ice cream. The Craft area was fantastic and very well resources when it first opened however not much available the last few visits however my three year old daughter still enjoys it. The plants are very reasonably priced and great quality. I would definitely recommend.

Called in this morning. Well worth a visit and I can recommend the tour if anyone is thinking of going tomorrow. The technology they have is incredible. I used to buy my plants from Redhall and will certainly continue to come here. Still some work to be completed but congratulations Leeds City Council.... this is great.

My toddler and I had a really lovely afternoon at the Arium. We enjoyed looking at the plants, the playground and sandpit were great and we had yummy cakes in the cafe. We were lucky enough to go on the free rides and had lots of fun crafting too during the half term event. Would highly recommend.

Great place to get your plants from and the whole place is light and airy. Had a bite to eat in the dining area and it was delicious and fresh x

Came for a bit of lunch and to let the kids play. Loved the play area, it just needs a bit of shade from the sun as you’d be limited to how long you can stand the direct heat if it was blazing sunshine.

Thank you LCC for organising a lovely,free event which the children enjoyed(aged 8 and 4). The youngest enjoyed the story telling and the free rides. The eldest being able to swap her books for other ones and also enjoyed the rides. We were able to pick up some lovely smelling heart bath bombs for 99p. I had a lovely �,latte and Cornish paste plus drinks for the children for an affordable price. Some people have been negative about a free event. It was always going to be busy and nothing that couldn't be swept up. Staff were friendly and chatty. Well done.

Perfect playground for kids (& grown ups, given the chance). Lovely to sit out and have a cold drink/ice lolly in gorgeous surroundings with very happy kids. Maybe more tractors needed methinks.

A bright and modern garden centre with average priced sweets, drinks and food, for such a place. Gardening items are a little on the expensive side. Best area around to entertain young children with very safe spaces climbing, sand pit, swings etc. Staff are friendly and approachable.

Garden centre is nice but come here more for the kids to enjoy the newly fitted playground which has a very good variety of swings, slides, climbing things for children. Bonus is that there is a bike/scooter lane to allow small kids to cycle round. Plenty of table and benches too. Parking is plentiful. Overall definitely worth a visit and it's free too!

The free playground was great, no issues parking and everything was clean and tidy. The small hut outside was a bit pricey and unfortunately quite understaffed, but I understand the trade off as entry and all play equipment is free. Outside food and drink are not permitted

The site is mostly a growing shed that is out of bounds to the public. There is a small garden centre, at the front of the building, with a cafe. The outside children's play area is a fair size, with it's own coffee shop. The facilities are bright and modern, but I was disappointed with the size of the retail area. Coffee and cake were OK too.

Quite expensive garden centre but the breakfast will take some beating. Either make sure you are very hungry or take a doggy 🐕 bag home. Cafe very reasonable prices and good quality.

A nice cafe with plenty of seating. Had the breakfast offer which was good value, nice coffee and good food once served. Let down by slow service.

We often visit for breakfast as a treat, lovely setting especially on the top floor looking over the greenhouse. Food is decent value and tasty, staff are friendly and the atmosphere is chilled. We always check out the houseplants, it's a relatively small selection but you never know what surprises you might find, we once found a anthurium clarinervium at a bargain price now it's my pride and joy. Oh and don't be put off by what people say about roadworks, they're finished now and Arium is well sign posted.

Fabulous and varied plants and shrubs at reasonable price. Delicious food served in the Cafe and all locally sourced. I alway visit when I'm in Leeds and buy all my plants there.

Some gorgeous plants here and decent enough staff. Well laid out, huge nursery, no tat, just plants and pots. Reasonably priced indoor and outdoor collection, really great quality overall. Loved it, just thought outdoor selection could be cheaper.
