Really looked forward to taking my little girl to Chester Zoo as I remember visiting when I was younger and loving it. I thought the zoo provided poor value for money. The animals were very difficult to spot due to all the vegetation and massive amount of fencing. I felt that the animals were very far away from the viewing areas. Many of the animals looked bored and lacked any real stimulation. The bat house was really poor as it was almost impossible to see them properly.
There were lots of staff walking round not seeming to be doing a great deal. Most things on sale were vastly overpriced as once inside you are a captive audience. The toilet facilities gradually got poorer throughout the day, with a lack of hand towels and toilet paper.
It is a massive site and you need a push chair for the young and it is not eldrely friendly due to it's size.
Will certainly not be returning for a repeat visit.
