Must Sees

Every visit to Chester Zoo is a unique and exciting experience. The UK’s number one Zoo, close to the historic city of Chester, is set in 110 acres of award-winning gardens. In this spectacular setting are over 7000 animals – more than 400 species of rare, exotic and endangered wildlife. We have created world class exhibits, which provide excellent welfare for the animals and an engaging experience for our 1.4 million visitors.

Chester Zoo’s gardens are deservedly famous and provide a glorious backdrop to the animals. With plants from around the world, the gardens reflect the natural habitats of some of our most exotic species.

Our play areas are spread around the Zoo to give the children the chance to burn off some of that energy. Mums and dads can have a well earned rest whilst the children are running, jumping and climbing in the play areas. If you want to join in why don’t you try out our golf course or boating lake?
