I am not a lover of zoos in general with a few exceptions. The Cotswold wildlife park is 160 acres of parkland where many of the animals roam in spacious areas. I have taken my 2 children to this park on several occasions and we have always really enjoyed our visit. I hope this review will be useful to anyone planning a visit.
