Explore Chester Zoo

Explore our award-winning gardens and discover our passion for plants that not only make the zoo look beautiful, but also play a vital role in helping local wildlife.

Visiting the zoo can be hungry work! If you find yourself in need of something to eat you have plenty of choice, from quick snacks to restaurant meals.

Let your little ones run wild in five different playgrounds – the perfect imaginative and stimulating spaces for your children to explore at the zoo.

Create an event with a difference in a unique location that you and your guests will remember forever.

From a formal business meeting to a fun company away day, we can help you organise a fantastic day surrounded by amazing animals and award-winning gardens.

Chester Zoo has been the setting of many TV shows, films, and photoshoots and we’d love to welcome your next film, TV or photography project.
