Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens Bradwell Grove, Carterton OX18 4JP

"Great day out! Lots of animals, and all of them with a good amount of information (not too stuffy, but interesting). The penguin feeding, the Madagascar walk through, and the Birds of Prey demonstration are definitely worth putting on your schedule. The little train that takes you around the park is also a great thing for kids, and is wheelchair accessible. Will definitely be back in slightly cooler weather!"

"Love this place and have visited for many years. Getting in was a palaver as it took longer to get from Burford roundabout than it did to get the there from Oxford! Some information via social media would have helped. We had no idea why the queue was so long and as we had already purchased tickets we waited. Once in the park you weren't aware of how busy it was unless you wanted food/ drinks /toilet. If you wanted the train you'd be better off later in the day as the queue was insane. Everything was pretty much as I remembered. I didn't quite understand why they had closed off one end of the walk through bird/wallaby /tapir enclosure? It made it a bit of a trek to walk back out again instead of simply adding pads to the exit. Especially as the entry ones had dried out. That was the only disappointing part of the place. Many animals weren't there and the ground around the wallabies was dry and simply mud. Overall its a great value day out. Take a picnic and be prepared to wait a while to actually access the park. It's a great place to visit if you have limited mobility as it pretty flat with good pathways."

"We went mid week during the school hols and it was packed, this is not a problem though as the park is huge. I'd recommend taking a picnic as food queues are long during peak times. Its a beautiful day out, the flowers and plants around the park are stunning. The animals appear really well looked after and the little farm park area where children can touch the goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducklings, etc is really cute. There is a little train with stations around the park that you can hop on and off of, it toots and the kids absolutely love it. If you want to wear your kids out, this is the place to go."

"Such a nice zoo. Booked online, was straight forward. The lady asked for the code to retrieve tickets. It’s quiet busy but the queue is going quickly. Massive car park! The itself is very clean, plenty of greens and dog friendly! Some places inside do not allow dogs. Perfect for families. Rhinos, giraffes, you name it.. the animals were in good health so I assume that they are taking good care of them! Beautiful getaway. Fascinating creatures!"
