Accessibility
Pros:
"Great wildlife park which is laid out lovely and disability friendly."
"The ground is flat throughout so easy for any wheelchairs or strollers."
"Big car park with disabled parking right next to entrance."
"The whole park is disabled accessible apart from one small section by the lake which has a very steep bridge."
"It's wheelchair and push chair accessible hence if you are going with a child it's better to take one as it's a long walk and children at times get tired."
"The grounds are flat and completely accessible for wheelchair, pushchairs and anyone who may have difficulty walking."
"Looks like it is quite accessible for those requiring scooters or wheelchairs."
Cons:
"The only thing I might change would be to add in direction signs on the paths to show you where to go."
"The other downside is that the sites not signposted clearly enough and no maps were issued on arrival."
"Only issue I had was I struggled to navigate myself around, however this is probably because I'm not great with maps. But definitely recommend signage around the park."
"The whole park is disabled accessible apart from one small section by the lake which has a very steep bridge."
"However there are some exhibitions that dogs aren't allowed so be aware and be prepared."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The entry fee is really reasonable compared to other similar places."
"Prices of entry are very reasonable considering the activities available."
"An admission price for under £20 for adults is a real bargain for what you do get to see."
"Reasonable price, with small discount for booking in advance online."
"The entry price was incredibly reasonable when you look at the size of the park and the facilities available."
"The park is real value for money."
"It is worth the money for admission. Also parking is included and there is lots of space."
Cons:
"The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is due to the ridiculous queues on the road to get in."
"Long queues for drinks and ice creams."
"Food and drinks are quite expensive so pack a picnic."
"However, if you think entry is expensive.. then paying for the train £1.50 each.. then head over for food, drinks and ice cream, left us a further £40 plus out of pocket for the 4 of us.."
"The restaurant seemed to have ran out of sandwiches by 1pm which wasn't great, we all had a hot meal instead but they're much more expensive than the sandwiches."
"Got a coffee, tea and 2 sausage rolls when we arrived and it came to almost £15!"
"Only suggestion is possibly an additional restaurant, we joined the queue for food at 2pm and it was still very long."
Animal Encounters
Pros:
"Up close to the animals."
"What a fantastic place this is and a very wide range of animal from all over the world."
"The animals appeared healthy and were very lively."
"Rhinos, giraffes, you name it.. the animals were in good health so I assume that they are taking good care of them!"
"Had a really enjoyable time at the Wildlife Park. Our grandchildren were enthralled by all the animals they were able to see."
"You get to see a family of Rhino close up with no high fencing so can get great photos… It has also Lions, Monkeys, Zebra, Leopard, lots of cute Penguins, Birds and so much more…"
"Lots of the animals can be seen without bars or cages getting in the way of taking photos."
Cons:
"The kids were a bit upset that we didn’t manage to see the wolves this time."
"The wolves where hiding so didn't see them unfortunately."
"Although the train ride was nice (£2 for adults £1 for 3 years and +), we could only see a few animals."
"Not a big range of larger type animals."
"Many animals weren't there and the ground around the wallabies was dry and simply mud."
"The restaurant didn’t look too appealing, some animals looked stressed out, perhaps because of lack of barriers and the possibility of the public being too close. Wallaby enclosure wasn’t too clean at the time of our visit."
"Always liked Cotswold wildlife park but knowing it's the school holidays we didn't get a chance to go on the train as the queue was about an hour+ wait."
Facilities
Pros:
"Food and drinks were reasonably priced and of a good standard (the sausage rolls were especially tasty!)"
"We got coffee’s and ice-creams from kiosks around the park and also sandwiches from the main cafe - none having long queue times!"
"Large picnic areas and cafe, plus snack kiosks situated around too."
"There is a very large Restaurant with inside and outside seating, also plenty of seating around the Park for people bringing their own picnics."
"There are cafes, coffee shops, restroom, play areas and picnic spots easily accessible throughout the park."
"The restaurant served a large selection of fresh sandwiches, hot food options, salads, and drinks."
"Chicken chips and beans were great. Good portion and jacket potatoes were tasty."
