Things to Do in the Cotswolds with Kids
The key to a happy Cotswolds family day is balance: one main attraction, a short walk with a ‘goal’ (viewpoint, café, playground), and plenty of snack stops.
Animals + hands-on attractions
- Farm day: Cotswold Farm Park
- Birds & mini exhibits: Birdland
- Big day out option: Cotswold Wildlife Park
Easy walks kids won’t hate
- Pick from Easy Walks in the Cotswolds (look for flat routes and circular loops).
- Add a view as the “reward” via Cotswolds Viewpoints.
Rainy-day backup
- Museums and indoor-friendly stops: Things to Do When It Rains.
- If you’re near Bourton, try Cotswold Motoring Museum.
Local tip
When you’ve picked your shortlist, check the map and cluster your day. The Cotswolds rewards slow travel — one area per day tends to feel better than racing around.
