Each of the holiday homes listed on this page is near a zoo or animal park of some kind. They are dotted about Britain, some will be major zoos, others small local animal parks. It may help you to whittle down the listings by selecting holiday homes of a suitable size and perhaps restricting the area because you will have an idea of how far you are prepared to travel accompanied by children.

Book a cottage close enough to be able to return for lunch

Primary school age children love to see animals so that visiting an animal attraction is often a good idea on holiday. Make life easy on yourself by staying near the zoo or park. Sometimes it is possible to buy a week’s pass which enables you to visit for short times during the course of your week.  You may also be able to pop back to your holiday home for lunch if the attraction is just minutes away and save yourself the cost and the hassle of queuing and dealing with young children in a busy space.
