Since living in Oxfordshire I have visited Cotswold Wildlife Park a couple of times with the nursery I was working in at the time. However I hadn't been for about 6 or so years so when we were arranging a day out with my brother and sister in law and nephew we decided to visit here. On the edge of the Cotswolds and not far from Oxford its a popular attraction for families in my neck of the woods.

Eating Facilities
As I always say a cheap way of feeding your children is to bring a picnic and there is lots of outdoor seating and grass areas to pitch up. As our visit had not quite hit spring at this point it was still quite chilly so we went and had a main meal in the Oak Tree Restaurant. The food was okay I had lasagne and chips and a drink for under £10.
Value for money?
There is a wide variety of animals including lions, zebras, rhinos, birds, reptiles, penguins and many more. You can easily spend a day here as a family as there is plenty to do. My nephew enjoyed the animals but he also just loved running around in lots of wide open space.
Interactive features
The park have an app on the apple store that you can download prior to your visit. This has quizs, interactive map and will tell you fun facts about the animals in the park. This is good if you are with older children and want to make more out of your visit.
Favourite Part
I liked the penguins and have done on previous visits here. You get really close to them and I think its at a good height for little ones to be able to see whats going on.
Accessibility
Most of the park is quite flat and has paths of a good quality for pushchairs and to walk around. Lots to see but its not spread out to far so you are never far from when you need to walk back on yourself for restrooms/coffee etc.
Throughly recommended for a fantastic family day out if you are ever in Oxfordshire.
