Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I recently visited the Kitty Cafe in Leeds for a family birthday.  This was our 3rd visit over the last year and a half and we have always had a great experience.  The Kitty Cafe is situated in Leeds city centre and is an easy walk from the train and bus stations.  If you come by car then I would recommend the park and rides at Elland Road or Temple Green which are very reasonably priced (and much cheaper than parking in the city centre) and only take 10 - 15 minutes by bus once you have parked up.

There are also other attractions at the site including the North Pole Starflyer, The Snowslide, Glacier Run Experience Simulator and Snowball Adventure.
