Cotswold Wildlife Park Reviews

The gardens looked amazing, well, they looked absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed walking around and taking it all in.

We had a good time overall... the park was nice and the animals were fun to see. The only thing was that the signs weren’t always super clear. We ended up doubling back a few times trying to find the toilets and a couple of the animal areas, which was a bit frustrating.

Everything was spotless from start to finish. I only regret not finding them earlier because the whole experience was so easy and well done

We went with our two young kids after hearing a few other families say it was worth a visit, and they were right. It was really easy to walk around, there was loads of space, and the animals kept the kids entertained for hours. The staff were friendly too, which always makes a difference. I can see why other parents seem to recommend it, we’d definitely go back again.

Had a lovely day out here. We brought our own picnic and there was loads of space to sit, which was great. The tables were clean enough and there were bins nearby too, so it made everything really easy with the kids...

I liked the place right away. I grabbed a cute mug and a keyring, and my snap judgment is that the prices were totally fair. The staff were friendly too, so overall it was a nice, easy stop.

I blame the clean enclosures and all the relaxed, happy-looking animals for making me enjoy the visit more than I expected. Everything seemed well taken care of, and the animals looked comfortable.

I liked the place overall, but getting around in a wheelchair was a bit uneven in some areas, which felt unnecessary for a spot like this. The signs for the accessible toilets could also be a lot clearer.

The keeper talks were great. You could hear in their tone how much they genuinely cared about the animals, which made the whole experience feel more personal and interesting. I really enjoyed listening to them.

We really enjoyed our visit. Most of the enclosures looked clean and well looked after, with plenty of space and stuff for the animals to do. The giraffe area and the big cat enclosures were especially great to see. A couple of the smaller areas did feel a bit older and could probably use a refresh, but it wasn’t nothing awful. Overall, it felt like the animals were being cared for, and the park was easy to walk around.

When we got there, there were loads of parking spaces, so it was totally stress-free finding a spot. We managed to park close to the entrance too, which was SO handy with the kids.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. The chips came out nice and hot, which I always appreciate, and the coffee was decent too. For a place you’d stop at during a day out, I didn’t think it was too pricey either. Overall, I had a good experience.

It was really easy to walk around here, which I appreciated. No crowds, no rushing... just a relaxed experience overall

It definitely wasn’t the cheapest option, and I hesitated a bit at first because of the price. But after using it, I felt like the quality matched what I paid. It has that “you get what you pay for” feel, so I’d say it was worth the extra money

I wasn’t expecting much at first. Just needed something that did the job, didn’t want to spend a ton. But yeah… it ended up being worth it. Price felt fair, not too high, and I didn’t feel like I overpaid.

I’m usually a bit cautious when visiting new places, but the staff were genuinely lovely and made everything feel easy. I felt comfortable the whole time and didn’t feel pressured or rushed at all.

We really enjoyed our visit! There was a loooovely variety of animals, quite a few we weren’t expecting to see. The kids were obsessed with the giraffes and the big cats. A few areas did feel a bit spread out, so there was some walking, but overall it was a really good day and definitely worth going if you’re into animals.

Took the kids to Cotswold Wildlife Park and, bit random, but the toilets were genuinely impressive. We ended up using a few different ones around the park and every single one was clean, had loo roll, and actually had soap, which you definitely can’t take for granted at busy family places. The baby changing areas were easy to find too and didn’t have that awful grim feel some places do. Anyway, the animals were great, the kids had fun, but seriously, clean toilets when you’re out all day? Absolute game changer. 5 stars from us.

I went with my kids and we did end up learning more than I thought we would. The animal signs were clear and had nice little facts without being too much to read, and the staff doing the talks were friendly and answered questions really well. That said, I did feel a bit misled by how it was described, as I expected there to be a bit more depth, especially for older kids. Some areas could definitely use more info. Still, overall it was a good visit and it was both fun and educational.

We got the family membership and, it’s kind of already paid for itself. We just pop in here and there for a couple hours when we feel like it, without trying to cram everything into one big day. The kids always have a good time, and the parking is usually easy enough, which makes the whole thing way less of a hassle
