Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens

About

Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens invites visitors to experience a unique walking safari across 160 acres of landscaped parkland and gardens, home to over 260 animal species. From giraffes roaming along the iconic Giraffe Walkway to the daily Penguin Talk and Feed at the Walled Garden, the park offers immersive encounters with wildlife from around the world. Highlights include the Madagascar walk‑through exhibit, the vibrant Tropical House, and the rare endangered primates in the primeval “Madagascar” showcase. The park’s commitment to conservation is evident in its breeding programmes for endangered species such as the Aldabra giant tortoise and the Iberian lynx. Visitors can explore the expansive gardens, where Victorian manor house grounds blend with tropical conservatories, creating a living tapestry of flora and fauna. Daily activities range from the narrow‑gauge Railway (open April to October, 12:00‑16:00) to interactive feeding sessions and animal talks. With free car parking, accessible pathways, and a wide range of refreshments at the Oak Tree Restaurant and gift shop, Cotswold Wildlife Park offers a family‑friendly adventure that celebrates both wildlife and horticulture.
