Chester Zoo is certainly a day that is filled with lots of ooh's and ahhs!! From the entrance where the incredible Elephants greet you with their antics, to the wonderful Tropical Houses filled with the most colourful and strange creatures you may never have seen!!! The penguins always bring a smile as you watch them darting and diving through the stunning glass windows and the Orangutans, Chimpanzees and Gibbons never fail to put on a gymnastic display. Along with this, the sight of the Black Panther, Jaguar, cheetahs, Lions and beautiful Tigers adds an air of majesty to your day. Honestly we could go on and on.....but better for you to visit so that you can tell your own story!!! Not to be missed during your time with us.
