Everything you need to know about the Chameleon Experience 

One of our reptile keepers will take you on a journey through the Tropical Realm, a warm and immersive habitat home to species such as Parson’s chameleon, collard iguana and South Eastern girdled lizard! You’ll get the chance to feed the chameleon and watch it gobble up its bugs. Learn about the realities of life in the wild and what we do at Chester Zoo to replicate their wet and humid Madagascan climate, as well as the work we do in the field to protect these species from extinction. 

  • £80 per person
  • Available all year round
  • Includes zoo admission

Thank you! 

The entire cost of your tour will be used to support the important work our conservationists do to prevent extinction both here in the UK and across the globe.
