Description:
A day at the zoo is usually a popular choice for a family day out and this one has some rather special attractions. The latest is a stroll through Madagascar where you are the ones that are enclosed and the wide variety of lovely lemurs are free to swing free. This huge parkland is home to many endangered species and a fascinating and varied collection of animals and birds from all over the world. Try to see the Penguins or Big Cats being fed (usually in the afternoons). Keepers are on hand to answer questions. There is a Children's Farmyard, an Adventure playground, spacious picnic areas and a narrow-gauge railway which runs during summer months. Children will also love the activities such as brass rubbing at the Manor House or just playing In the Adventure Park next to the café.
Admission
Open year round (except 25th December) from 10am. Adults £10.50; Children £8.00 (aged 3 to 6); Children under the age of 3 free of charge

"Cotswold Wildlife Park"
Visited with: Child
We visited the park during the winter so the small train wasn’t running. My son had great fun running along the train tracks though! There is a huge variety of animals here from zebras to lions to giant turtles. They also have owls, bats and penguins to name but a few. The penguins are fed twice a day which is fun to watch and don’t miss the lemurs. My son enjoyed watching the animals but probably had the most fun playing in the play area. This is very close to the café and a large green area where you can sit and have a picnic. Parking here is good and even on a busy day the park doesn’t feel too crowded. Would highly recommend.

"Cotswold Wildlife Park"
Visited with: Child
We visited the Wildlife Park on a Sunday and had a really great time. The grounds are very well kept and they have taken a lot of trouble to make sure the animals are in their appropriate environment. In fact all the animals seem really well looked after. Though the park appeared busy as we arrived, once inside people were well spread out and we didn’t have to wait or queue to see anything. My son (7yrs) loved the animals, especially the baby meerkats and the baby owls. Don’t miss the Madagascar exhibition, it was lovely to see the lemurs roaming free within the large enclosure. We also had fun watching the penguins and otters being fed. Buggy-friendly and dogs are allowed too. We took our own lunch and had a picnic on the lawn while my son played happily in the play area beside us. You can also get food and ice-creams in the café if you prefer. We stayed around 4 hours and didn’t get to see everything. It’s a proper family day out and great value for money, we would highly recommend it.
