Cotswold Farm Park

We had the absolute pleasure today of making one of my grandma Dorothy's wishes come true- taking her to meet Adam Henson, her favourite TV presenter, on her 101st! birthday. Adam and his team did everything they could to make the day absolutely perfect (Julie, Sarah, Ben, Graham, the chef who made her a beautiful big birthday cake but I'm so so sorry I have forgotten your name, etc etc). We couldn't believe she not only got to meet Adam, but he had lunch with us, and even helped her bottle feed a lamb, which he named after her!!! Adam is such a gentleman, and it is a day we will all treasure forever. And the Cotswold Farm Park itself- what a lovely day out for animal lovers of all ages. It's a chance to get up close and interact with lots of cute animals. You get the chance to pet, and sometimes hold or bottle feed a multitude of farmyard animals - hold a chick, stroke a rabbit, feed a goat, bottle feed a lamb etc. Everything is so clean and the animals look very pampered. We had a wonderful day. Thanks so much!

Wonderful place to visit at any age. Lots of fun for youngsters to be had on the big bouncy things outside, on the playground equipment, in the sandpit, on the little tractors, holding chicks, stroking bunnies...Plenty of outdoor benches and indoor spaces to eat and drink - bring your own food and drink or buy there. A few uneven walking surfaces as expected, but all areas very well kept and laid out. Toilets clean and easily accessed from anywhere on the park. Bags of animal feed are £2 each from the ticket office - well worth it. And the stars of the show...the animals! Well presented information all around the park. £1 for a tractor ride (on a trailer) with recorded commentary by Adam - personal and informative. Great gift shop. Friendly staff. Lots of parking. Highly recommend.

Very good experience for anyone interested in animals or farms. Can bottle feed lambs or kids if it's the right time of the year. Great hand washing facilities throughout. There are alot of goats who are more than happy to feed as you walk around. Animal food is available to purchase.

Strongly recommend coming here (even if you don’t have kids!). I went with my boyfriend and we had the absolute best time patting all the animals and feeding the goats. Seems simple but the goats are hilarious, the piglets were also super funny with their personalities and the other animals were just way too cute. The only thing I wish I could’ve done was pat the horses, but nonetheless it was a great day out. I’ll definitely be bringing my nieces next time :)

What a lovely place to visit! Everything is set up really well, it's clear that someone has put a lot of thought into this place. Lots of nice areas for children of all ages to play. We had to visit the petting barn a few times in the same day as my daughter couldn't get enough of the little chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs. I like that there are lots of stations so people can wash their hands, including the paper towels to dry the hands. The live talks in the lambing barn were very informative too. I was very pleased about the price, for a family of three we paid a little over £30 which I think is very reasonable. All in all a great place to visit with lots of animals to see. I'm sure we haven't seen all of it and can't wait to go again!

I have been to the Farm Park many times, firstly as a child myself and now as a parent, it is SUCH a shame to see it get more and more unaffordable. I went for the first time in over a year with my 2 year old. It cost £28 for us to get in plus then £2 for animal food. We headed to the motorised ride on tractors (used to be a real favourite) and now you have to pay for these too?? £1 for 5 minutes. It’s not fun to try and explain to a 2 year old why her tractor suddenly no longer works. The soft play section is awful, so tired and sad. We fed a sheep a bottle, which took 5 minutes, then walked round the rest of the park with the food - this took about 20 minutes. Quickly she tired of it mostly being goats! We then went to queue for the tractor ride (also would have cost us money) but were told it was full and we would have to wait an hour for the next one (again not enjoyable to explain to a toddler!!). We went for food but the options were so expensive (why do I have to spend at least £13 when all I wanted was a sandwich?). Luckily she enjoyed the bouncy pillows and the swings because aside from that we would have been finished very quickly. I know they are different parks with different intentions but the Cotswold Wildlife Park would have cost me £19 (under 3s are free), I can get a sandwich there for £3.50, the play areas are fantastic and well kept and I know if we miss the ride on train then it will only be 10 minutes until the next one! It’s just really hard to not compare the two and see how much the Farm Park is becoming not worth the money to visit.

This is a great place to visit. The campsite is excellent with great facilities and when you stay you get free entry to the farm. There are a great variety of animals to see with many interactive options and loads of information. Ideal place for a family break great for kids. The countryside around the farm is spectacular and great for walking.

We came here for a morning outing with our toddler while staying in the area. We had a great time! We got a quick bite from the cafe on site which was good as well. Highly recommend buy a couple bags of feed as the animals love their treats and we went through our 3! We enjoyed seeing all of the animals, interacting with the staff, and letting our little guy lead the day. Definitely worth the visit! But do save a little and pay online before you go.
