Chester Zoo is an incredible, family-friendly destination for those who love wild and exotic animals. Fun fact – it’s actually the most popular zoo in the UK! With over 20,000 exotic and endangered creatures, 500 different animal species, and 128 acres of islands and habitats to explore, you’re in for a treat.

Not only is Chester Zoo a fantastic attraction, but it’s also a conservation and education charity. This means that income generated from its valued members, supporters, and visitors goes towards their commitment to preventing extinction. So, you can feel good about supporting a great cause while enjoying your family day out.

There are so many beautiful animals to discover at Chester Zoo. While the orangutans and Sumatran tigers are firm favourites, exploring is the name of the game here. Head to the plains of Africa and catch a glimpse of the famous painted dogs or marvel at the mighty Asian elephants. See the pride of lions in their enclosure and watch the curious cheetahs prowl around – if you love cats, you’re in for a treat!

Perhaps you’re more interested in exploring the rainforest? Say hello to Chester Zoo’s baby Orangutan, the first of its kind to be born here and one of the cutest baby animals you’ll ever see! The Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered species that come from East Asia and you can only see them at Chester Zoo. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to see these incredible animals up close and personal.
