Encounter Anteaters, peer at Giraffes, roar at the Lions or waddle like a Penguin, in over 160 acres of beautiful parklands.Take a ride on the railway around the Park or climb into the tree house in the adventure playground. You’re never too old to visit, there’s something for everyone. Whether it’s the beautiful planting, or over 250 different species of animals, insects and birds. It’s wheelchair and pushchair friendly!Take a picnic and watch the Rhinos and Zebras while you eat or enjoy lunch in the Oak Tree Restaurant. Take shelter inside our Reptile House (if you dare) and peak at the snakes and crocodiles or hide away in the dark Bat House. Creep into the Tropical house and see if you can spot the sleepy Sloths or leap about with the Lemurs in their walk-through enclosure so much to do…!Take a peek at our website for more information and events…Follow us on facebook and twitter

“A great day out”

Reviewed 20 February 2012 NEW

We have lived near CWP for 25 years now and in that time it has developed and improved year on year. We took our children and bought season tickets when they were little and they loved it, for there's lots of space, lots of things to see and do, a miniature train, a play area and of course sweets, ice...

“The children loved seeing the animals - so many of them so close up!”

Reviewed 17 February 2012 NEW

We visited during February half term, and although the snow had (mostly) melted, I have to say the paths weren't up to much - tall wellies and a change of trousers a requirement. We also saw several cars getting a bit stuck in the mud in the car park. HOWEVER that was really the only downside - there was lots... More

“Fantastic afternoon spent here - just 4 adults, no children and we all really enjoyed it. It is really well laid out.”

The Giraffe enclosure was fantastic, you can get so close you can actually touch the heads of some of the giraffes from the brilliant viewing platforms. More

“Great animals, in really good housing”

Reviewed 17 February 2012 NEW

We visited Cotswold Wildlife Park on a cold February morning with snow still lying on the ground, and even so it was a great place. There was a really wide range of animals, including lions, giraffes, rhino, zebra, monkeys, reptiles and fruit bats and many more. There was also a good sized adventure playground, miniature railway and other attractions for... More

“The zoo for every age group”

Reviewed 15 February 2012

I have never been to a wildlife park which has every age group catered for. The setting and the planting is fantastic, not sure about the 'cats' though. I love this park and go at every opportunity. But I would rather eat the food for the monkeys (fruits and nuts) than what is on sale in the restaurant. More

“Our annual Boxing Day visit ...”

Reviewed 7 February 2012

Our favourite time to visit The Wildlife Park is on Boxing Day with the extended family - wrap up warm, brave the elements and the animals always seem pleased to see you after a day free of visitors. It's usually quiet so the keepers have a little more time to chat about what's going on which adds to the day.... More
