Julie – United Kingdom

Animals seem very happy overall experience really good

M
Melanie – United Kingdom

Brilliant but get your walking legs on, I had not realised how big it was & definitely get a map as you need it. I did like that the animal enclosures are as near to nature as possible. The only downfall I have is if your eating from the zoo the dinning is in one area which when you have kids & they say they’re hungry then they are hungry not wanting an half hour walk, next I visit I will definitely take a packed lunch as £28 for 4 sausage rolls (to put us on) VERY expensive

Full description

Show your ticket at the entrance to Chester Zoo and enter a wonderland of green gardens, exotic and endangered animals, and enticing play areas.

Encounter Nubra and Yashin, a pair of endangered snow leopards who arrived at Chester Zoo this spring. The majestic big cat duo moved into their carefully crafted habitat, which features large indoor viewing windows and spacious outdoor viewing platforms.

Experience the exciting new exhibition Native: The Incredible World of British Wildlife. Go on an audio and visual journey and get closer to some of the most iconic species native to the British Isles.

Next, explore the dense jungles of Southeast Asia and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of Monsoon Forest. See meat-eating plants, ancient gharials, and a family of orangutans. Head to the free-flight rainforest area to hear beautiful melodies from rare birds.

Witness a pride of endangered Asiatic lions in an expansive habitat just like the dry forest and savannah habitats of Gir National Park in India, the only place in the world where this incredible species can still be found in the wild.

Celebrate the island of Madagascar and learn more about the island's top predator, the fossa. In the walk-through habitat, you can come face-to-face with ring-tailed and red-ruff lemurs. Next, walk through the Latin American aviary to see brightly colored birds.

During your visit, check the seasonal calendar to see which activities are on. If you want a break from visiting the animals, head to the children's play areas, take a ride on the Lazy River Boat Ride, or join a fact-filled animal talk from a Safari Ranger.

Indulge yourself with a delicious Sunday lunch in the award-winning onsite gastropub, The Oakfield, or get some Southeast Asian street food or tasty snacks from the concession stands. If you prefer, bring a packed lunch and eat outside at the picnic areas.
