We’re re-opening!
In line with the government roadmap for reopening, we will be reopening the zoo on 12th April 2021. We will be following the latest government guidance with indoor areas of the zoo remaining shut until May 2021.
Please check the advice of your local authority on school trips before booking your visit.
Even though a visit to the zoo isn’t possible right now, there is still lots of ways to engage with the zoo. You can book one of our virtual sessions and we have LOADS of free resources to support your learners at school or at home.
If you have any questions please visit our ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW section or contact the team learning@chesterzoo.org
Our education programmes are an important part of our mission of PREVENTING EXTINCTION. They inspire people to care about and, more importantly, take action for the natural world.
We work with all key stages from EYFS to university level and everything in between. We can even help support teachers to organise staff training, inset days and further support around conservation curriculum and planning.
Our education team also support community and uniformed groups looking to learn new conservation skills to help protect wildlife with us.
