There's nowhere better to enjoy a rather colourful afternoon tea experience than the beautifully situated Flamingo Point Café. Treat yourself to a Classic Cotswold Cream Tea, with homemade scones and locally sourced goodies.

The picturesque café garden is decked with picnic tables for visitors to soak up the sun and enjoy their afternoon tea watching the flamboyance of flamingos beyond.

Watch the King Penguin feeding and meet the newly hatched Humboldt penguin chicks before heading across the bridge to the Flamingo Point Café.

Food served at the Flamingo Point Café is sourced locally from the Cotswolds area and is cooked fresh daily ensuring delicious fare. Birdland Park & Gardens is open daily from 10am.
