About Chester Zoo
With 1.4 million visitors every year, Chester Zoo is the UK's number one zoo, and our Chester Zoo short breaks provide the ideal fun break away for all the family. With over 7,000 wild and wonderful animals and 400 different species there is so much to see and do at Chester Zoo. Plus we have a great range of hotels near Chester Zoo for you to relax with your family and friends before or after your brilliant day out.
On one of our exciting Chester Zoo short breaks you will be able to see some of the most exotic and endangered animal species in the world. Kids and grown-ups will love the Zoofari Monorail or Waterbus, allowing you to see the animals from a different perspective. Wander around the fantastic animal exhibits, including the Realm of the Red Ape, Tsavo Black Rhino experience, Spirit of the Jaguar, Asian Plains and Tropical Realm, and learn all about these amazing animals with the daily informative talks. Then let the kids burn off some energy at the various themed children's play areas around the park.
