Come and discover all there is to know about the incredible chameleon species!
Have you ever wondered why a chameleon changes colour or how they are able to climb the tallest of trees? Come and discover these INCREDIBLE reptiles!
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! Learn all about their daily routine from the tasty grubs they eat to their favourite hangouts.
You’ll get the chance to feed the chameleon and watch it gobble up its bugs – yum! You’ll be amazed by their long, sticky tongues which are twice the length of their bodies! 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.
There will be lots of opportunities for photos and questions along the way and you’ll also leave with an exclusive gift, an experience certificate and memories to last a lifetime!
Maximum of 2 people. Suitable for ages 8+
