WE ARE CHESTER ZOO

We are the most visited zoo in the UK AND a conservation and education charity committed to PREVENTING EXTINCTION.

We are the NORTH OF ENGLAND ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, managed by a Board of Trustees. You can find out more about how we are governed as a charity and read our annual reports here >

 

So who are we?

Here goes…

There are over 1000 people hard at work here keeping this wonderful complicated place going. Caring for our animals, running conservation projects and giving our guests an inspirational day out! 

 

AS A CONSERVATION CHARITY WE RELY ON YOUR SUPPORT. 

Every visit, every donation and every time you ACT FOR WILDLIFE makes a huge difference. Thank you!
