Chester Zoo holds over 30,000 animals from over 500 species across 130 acres. Visit the UK's largest tropical biodome, explore 10 indoor habitats, and walk through a lemur area. Five adventure playgrounds offer thrill-seeking play, while the Islands Lazy River boat ride lets you sit back and observe. Award-winning gardens and thousands of plants fill the grounds. The zoo runs year-round events including Afterglow evening experiences, Earth Photo exhibitions, and Lanterns & Light. Daily animal talks from keepers and rangers happen throughout the day. Every ticket funds conservation work in the UK and globally.
