Let your little ones explore the wild side of Chester Zoo with our brand new play area!
Nature Play provides an imaginative and stimulating space for children to discover fun tunnels, swing bridges, nets, climbing frames and stepping stones!
The play area is just a short walk from our Jaguar Coffee House, the perfect opportunity to grab a hot drink or a bite to eat before you continue on your adventure. See so many incredible animals in our nearby indoor habitats. From jaguars and sloths in Spirit of the Jaguar, to orangutans, lizards and snakes at Realm of the Red Ape!
Plus, from 2 December 2023 you’ll be able to discover our brand new Native exhibition opposite the nearby chimps! Native is a breath-taking new experience coming to the zoo this winter. Join us on an extraordinary 360° audio and visual journey which showcases some of the most iconic species native to the British Isles. Keep an eye out for more details.
We do our best to offer a safe space for children to be able to run and play, but we advice that parents/guardians actively oversee their children at all times. Designed for children under 8 years old.
