Chester Zoo is the UK's number one charity zoo! With 7000 animals and over 400 species, Chester Zoo is an exciting, fun day out for all ages.
Visit our new spectacular Elephants of the Asian Forest breeding centre including our two baby elephants who have become great playmates and are a joy to watch - splashing, 
digging and exploring their new surroundings. Gaze on at the beautiful yet rarely seen Okapi in The Secret World of the Okapi. Experience Café Tsavo and dine with a backdrop of Black Rhinos, mongooses and Warthog. Experience Spirit of the Jaguar and Miniature Monkeys. Don't forget the Fun Ark, a children's adventure playground!
Group visits are welcome all year round with discounts available for 15+ paying visitors. 
For an extra group treat, book an exclusive 90 minute guided tour or sample the delicious delights of the Oakfield Manor Restaurant.
