Cotswold Wildlife Park is set in 160 acres of parkland and gardens around a listed Victorian Manor House and has been open to the public since 1970. The Park is home to a fascinating and varied collection of mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates, from Ants to White Rhinos and Bats to big Cats.  Every year, over 350,000 people visit the Park and enjoy the exotic animals and gardens in the spacious and peaceful Cotswold surroundings.

The Good Britain Guide 2000 has chosen the Cotswold Wildlife Park as the Oxfordshire Family Attraction of the Year.
