Admission prices 2010
Chester Zoo welcomed 1,300,000 visitors in 2009 which made it once again the most visited wildlife attraction in the UK.
The great news for 2010 is that we have frozen our prices for children (aged 3-15) and for family tickets (2 adults + 2 children) at 2009 levels.
Open daily throughout the year from 10am, Closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Free car and coach parking. This page shows the dates and prices for our High Season, Mid Season and Low Season. The dates for each season are shown further down the page.
