Every visit to Chester Zoo is a unique and exciting experience.
The UK's number one Zoo, close to the historic city of Chester, is
set in 110 acres of award-winning gardens. In this spectacular
setting are over 7000 animals - more than 400 species of rare,
exotic and endangered wildlife. They have created world class
exhibits, which provide excellent welfare for the animals and an
engaging experience for the 1.4 million visitors per year. Group
organisers can save when they book for 15 people or more. Groups of
20 or more paying in advance will also be given a free place.
What's more, pre-paid visitors also receive fast track
admission.
Why not can hire a tour guide and be shown around the zoo for a 90
minute tour costing £40 per group of 20. With a personal guide,
tours can be tailored the to suit interests and pace of your
group.
Chester Zoo is open daily from 10am and less than one hour's drive
from Manchester and Liverpool. Free coach parking and groups'
admission entrance is open during peak periods.
As an all-weather attraction with over ten indoor animal
enclosures, group organisers are welcome to organise a pre-visit to
the zoo free of charge to discuss and plan their group's visit.
