Take a walk on the wild side at Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. From creepy crawlies, beautiful animals, excellent adventure playgrounds and a tropical House, Cotswold Farm Park makes for a magical day out with the kids!

Gaze at the Asiatic Lions lazing around in their enclosure - they are sleepy lions indeed! Get eye to eye with beautiful giraffes in the Giraffe Walkway. See the stunning White Rhinos on the lawn of the Gothic Manor House. Make sure you don't miss the daily Penguin Talk & feed at 11am and 3pm. 

Discover Cotswold Wildlife Park's huge collection of over 130 species of exotic birds. Come across all sorts - from Emus, Cassowary, Owls, Pelicans, and Vultures, to the world’s biggest bird, the Ostrich, and everything in between. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Flamingos and Pelicans when you pass by the lake! Feeling brave? Take a peek into the Reptile House for an up-close encounter with giant anacondas, crocodiles and deadly snakes. 

It’s not just animals you can have fun with at Cotswold. Take a ride on the narrow-gauge railway, or explore the stunning gardens and the huge park to see cacti, succulents and exoitic planting in the walled garden in the summer months. It's the most beautiful backdrop!

Energy still left in the tank? Run wild in the amazing adventure playground, or climb 20 feet in the air on the scary sky maze. It’s going to be one wild day out! Scurry between interconnecting tree-houses, shoot over the rope bridges and shimmy down the epic slides. Children's Farmyard with goat petting area.
