From a personal point of view it was amazing to see how much people really care about us as a zoo and want to support us in our mission to prevent extinction.
My role here at Chester Zoo is very hands-off in regards to animal interaction, but I have had the opportunity to feed our red pandas, which was just such an amazing experience. As a conservation charity, our focus is on preventing the extinction of all kinds of well-known species including Asian elephants, orangutans and Humboldt penguins.
From the aye-ayes a small nocturnal lemur species , southern cassowary, golden mantilla frog, to our nepenthes national plant collection, we have such a huge range of different species spread out across the zoo. No matter where you are, you can always discover something you may not have come across before that could end up being your new favourite.
First of all I would recommend wearing some comfy shoes! Sunscreen and an umbrella are also always good to have on hand, as you know how unpredictable the British weather can be. You can download our app and plan a route that will take you to all the animals you really want to see.
Having said that, my last tip is to be prepared to deviate from your plan! As a conservation zoo we allow each species free reign of their expansive enclosures, which encourages their natural behaviours.
This means you might not immediately see an animal when you first approach their enclosure, however, you may find them by looking through a different viewing window or going to their indoor area instead which may very well take you down a different path to your pre-planned route.
The natural behaviour we encourage also means the animals are spontaneous. So you can also expect to be distracted from your route by something new or unexpected going on!
Head straight to Islands. There is so much to see on Islands. We are all about play here at Chester Zoo, and using that as a way to have fun and learn. I've never been here! I'd love to go though. Zoo's are one of my favourite places for a day out.
These photos are amazing! Faye Jessica fayejessica. I'm pretty sure I went here years ago but I can't really remember it! I can't believe there are over 20, animals there; that's incredible!
Your post has definitely made me want to go back for another visit! I haven't been to Chester zoo in so long so this post is giving me all of the nostalgic feelings! Hi, I can't remember the last time I visited a zoo. I want to go to one now, Chester is a bit far for me though. Ok it looks like an epic zoo and i need to take my kids there immediately!!! Thanks for this xx Amina xx www.
I haven't been to a zoo since primary but this post is making me want to visit one soon! Great photos and glad you had a fun day. Looks like such a fun day out! I haven't been to a zoo for years! The baby elephant is so cute! I really have mixed opinions on Zoos, Chester Zoo how ever is one of the few zoos that I am happy going too because they have such a big conservation project with endangered species. I've never even heard of this zoo before but it looks amazing! Definitely adding it to my list of places I wanna visit!
I went there once a while ago now and we plan on going back one day for a visit!! We loved it and is definitely a fantastic day out! Vikki planetvikkiblog.
Your pictures are phenomenal. I've been to a couple different zoos before, but not the Chester zoo. This week I was invited down to Chester Zoo for a day of fun, food, and animals. I've visited the zoo quite a lot, but I can honestly say you'll never have the same experience here twice.
It is one of the UK's largest zoos at acres and over 20, animals!
