CHESTER ZOO CLOSED FRIDAY 23 OCTOBER

With Storm Austen set to bring really strong winds, we’ve made the decision to close the zoo on Friday 23 October to help keep everyone safe.

Our amazing animal teams will, of course, be on site to look after all the animals throughout the day.

🎟️ ZOO TICKETS: If you have tickets booked for Friday 23 October, there’s nothing you need to do. We’ve automatically extended them until 31 December 2026, so you can visit on a date of your choosing before then.

🌍OUR STORY BOOKINGS: If you have a daytime or evening booking for Our Story with David Attenborough, you’ll be able to reschedule from Saturday 24 October. Please contact our guest services team on 01244 380280 or email guest.services@chesterzoo.org to rearrange your visit.

We’re really sorry for any disruption to your plans, but we hope you understand.

We very much hope to be open again from Saturday morning but please check our website and social media channels for the latest updates.

Take care out there and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
