Meet Rhinos, Giraffes and More at Cotswold Wildlife Park this May Half Term

May Half Term

Get up close to incredible animals this May Half Term at Cotswold Wildlife Park, where family adventure meets 160 acres of stunning Cotswold parkland

Looking for an unforgettable family day out this May Half Term? Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens offers the perfect mix of wildlife, outdoor space and hands-on experiences, all set around a beautiful Victorian manor house in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Wander through open parkland and enjoy uninterrupted views of animals including rhinos grazing in front of the manor, giraffes towering above the treetops and penguins delighting visitors at daily feeding times. It’s a relaxed and immersive experience that feels far removed from a traditional zoo visit.

Families can explore the Tropical House in the Walled Garden, home to free-roaming sloths, birds and bats, before heading to the Madagascar exhibit to get close to lively lemurs. With daily feeding talks and interactive moments throughout the day, there’s always something happening.
