Chester Zoo is fabulous! I went years ago when I was a little girl but have never got round to going back until my birthday last week - who says you have to grow old gracefully?! It was a little... more

    5 Stars Funky Monkeys, Cheeky Chimps and Ppppenguins! Review with images 20/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Aimed mainly at conservation; Lots to see; A great family day out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None - apart from the fact it's still a zoo

    Before I begin, I would firstly like to apologise to readers for the length of this review. Due to the conservation efforts of Chester Zoo, I wanted to give as much information as I possibly could on the zoo as a tourist attraction, but more importantly, on the vital work that it does. Therefore, the review has turned out to be a bit of an essay. However, I hope you find it both enjoyable and useful. Ok, here we go... On principal, I usually refrain from visiting zoos as I am a firm believer that wild animals should be allowed to remain in their natural habitat, rather than housed in cages and ... more

    5 Stars Yippie! I LOVE the Zoo!! Review with images 28/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 7000 species, I know some tricks to get cheaper stuff, loads of really cool stuff to play with!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very pricey, lot of walking, limited scooter availability

    Well hello! As some of you may know I come from a place called Chester and one of the most poignant aspects of Chester that nearly everyone knows about is Chester Zoo. It is now officially THE leading zoo in Britain and has an ever growing number and range of animals from all over the world (which we will come to later). Not only is it the zoo packed with exotic and lovely animals, it is also packed with the most beautiful and luxurious gardens you might ever see. I hope to think that this review will bring more than just basics facts about the zoo because I have insider knowledge.. I used to ... more

    5 Stars Chester Zoo - It's an Education! Review with images 25/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good variety of animals, plenty to do for kids, beautiful scenery, good conservation work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too many attractions to spend additional money on, terrible layout

    I thought I would move some of my UK attraction reviews back to page 1 for half-term for any parents wondering where to take their little livewires! Hope this helps! ;) Being the mum of a lively five-year-old who is animal-obsessed, I’ve been to Chester Zoo more than most. Only an hour away from us, it’s one of our favourite places for a day out. However there are some potential annoyances that any prospective visitors should know about, especially if travelling a long way. So I thought I would write a review all about what you should expect if you go down to the zoo today… Chester Zoo is a ... more

    5 Stars A wonderful zoo to visit Diamond review Review with images 18/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of well thought out attractions lots of wonderful animals

    Disadvantages Disadvantages June restaurant a bit cramped

    We have visited Chester Zoo on a couple of occasions with our animal mad son. I am not going to discuss all the animals we saw but will instead focus on the highlights for us and I will not be discussing the rights and wrongs of Zoo's as I guess people reading this review will be pro them and wanting to know what it is like to visit. Where is it? ************ Chester Zoo is located on the outskirts of Chester we found it very easy to get to from our Hotel in North Wales and very well signposted by the brown places of interest signs. Once there is plenty of parking. It is also accessible by bus ... more

    5 Stars We're all going to the zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow. Review with images 06/04/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great day out. Educational for kids.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be an expensive day out

    Over the past year Chester Zoo seems to have become my day trip of choice. I have been four times in the space of eight months and have enjoyed my trip every time. Luckily my girlfriends, sisters fiancé is a zoologist that runs his own safari tours and there isn’t anything he doesn’t know about animals, although I’m trying my hardest to find something. Not only is Chester Zoo a fantastic day out it is an important educational tool for children to learn about different kinds of animals and the fight against extinction that some of them face. According to my zoologist friend by the time my son ... more
