Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens

“Cotswolds Wildlife Park and Gardens in Burford is absolutely amazing and a fantastic day out. The park is very clean, extremely well set up and set within beautiful surroundings, which makes walking around a real pleasure. There’s so much space and everything feels well looked after. There are lots of animals to see and plenty to keep both adults and children entertained. Our kids, aged 4 and 1, absolutely loved it and were engaged the whole time. Highlights for us included the owls, monkeys and birds, as well as the penguin feeding, which was brilliant to watch. The goat petting area was a big hit with the children, and seeing the giraffes up close was a real treat. The noisy lions were also a memorable highlight. Overall, it’s a great place for a family day out and somewhere we’d happily visit again. Highly recommended for anyone with young children or anyone who enjoys animals and beautiful outdoor settings.”

“Really good day out, helped by being very reasonable weather for the time of year. No rain, not too cold, some sunshine. It was busy, being half term, but manageable and well organised. The restaurant was very busy at midday but is was moving quickly and tables being cleaned regularly. Not too long to wait for decent hot food. The animals looked well cared for and their enclosures really well thought out. Definitely more than enough to see in one day. The Rhinos seemed to be part of a successful breeding program. Throughout my childhood there were only 3 then 2 rhinos. Now there seemed to be 7 including some very cute looking young ones. The grounds were particularly impressive considering the time of year. Clearly a lot of effort goes into maintaining it this well. All in all would definitely recommend for a day out.”

“Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens is a really lovely place to visit. The park is very well kept and the animal enclosures are spacious, giving everything a relaxed, open feel. Facilities are excellent. Toilets are clean, paths are well maintained, and it is easy to spend a full day there comfortably. It is also genuinely dog friendly, which is a big plus. The only small downside is that the train attraction is closed in winter, but overall it is a very good experience and well worth a visit.”

“We were not sure about taking the time to visit, but at the end of the day we were very happy with our choice. We were impressed with the wide avid animals from penguins to rhinoceros. The lemur enclosure which we could walk through was a highlight. Our timing was impeccable as we went in jut prior to feeding. The grounds were quite pretty and very enjoyable to walk around and even see the impressive architecture. It was week woo the time wrre.”
