Cotswold Wildlife Park crowned 'Best Zoo in the UK' for the second year in a row
The Park is home to more than 260 different species
Oxfordshire’s Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens has once again been crowned the 'Best Zoo in the UK', according to a nationwide poll.
Affordability, reviews, the range of species on show and overall zoo popularity were taken into consideration in the poll conducted by Outdoor Toys.
They say, "Cotswold Wildlife Park in Oxfordshire has come out on top as the best zoo in the UK for 2025, with an impressive score of 8.71/10.
“Exhibiting over 260 different species of animals, spectacular sights include the Rhinos grazing in front of the Park’s Gothic-listed Manor House and the boisterous Lemurs in the Madagascar exhibit."
Reggie Heyworth, Managing Director of Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens (pictured right), said: "To receive this ‘Best zoo in the UK’ accolade two years in a row is amazing.
“Everybody here is delighted at the news, especially as Outdoor Toys are completely independent and their analysis includes really vital indicators such as visitor reviews and admission prices, which are incredibly important and often overlooked.
“We have always tried to keep our admission prices low and we are proud to be regarded as offering such good value for money, when many attractions have become so expensive. We would also like to thank our visitors who have given us such generous reviews on sites like TripAdvisor, Google and other social media outlets, they really have made all the difference to us over the last few years."
Over the last couple of years, the Park has been named 'Best Family Attraction' at both the Muddy Stilettos Awards and Little Ankle Biters' Awards.
It was also voted 'Best Animal Attraction' in the Red Kite Days Oxfordshire Awards in 2023.
