Our Madagascar exhibit closes at 3:00 pm in winter and 3:30 pm in summer, this is to ensure the inhabitants of this enclosure have plenty of time to settle for the evening.
Please note: Our winter opening times change from Monday 6th January 2025. Cotswold Wildlife Park will remain CLOSED on WEEKDAYS ONLY from 6th January until 6th February (re-opening on Friday 7th February 2025); EXCEPT FOR WEEKENDS when the Park will be OPEN from 10.00 am until 4:00 pm or dusk (whichever is earlier, with last admission being at 3:00 pm). This is to allow for essential maintenance to be carried out.
How long should I allow for my visit?
