    Chester Zoo is quite large.
    It was hard to see a lot of the supposed animals as their cages were full of long grass and shrubs. Couldn't see anything in a lot of the enclosures
    In my view, it was a waste of money and its not cheap either.
    Knowsley safari park is better equipped and you can see their animals and its cheaper too. Wouldn't go to Chester Zoo again, ever.

    What an absolutely superb day out we had at Chester Zoo! Since our last visit ( a few years ago), the zoo has made great efforts to update and renew areas. It is easy to get around, rices for food and drinks inside are not too bad (espacilly in the beer garden!), the staff are friendly and helpful and the new butterfly house is amazing. We will definately be visiting again very soon.

    I thought that the chester zoo was brilliant and i have being going many years, there are a lot of new enclosures and it is bang up to date. a lot of information about the animals and nice gardens to relax in. There wasnt much rubbish around and the site was vey clean and enjoyable to spend time in Altogether a great family day out! I would recomend it to everyone.

    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 lo ...

    Chester Zoo is well sign posted and quite easy to find on the out skirts of chester, the zoo has a monorail like the one at alton towers witch is well needed as the size of the park is impressive with land scape gardens, the selection of animals is great with every thing that you can think of, chester zoo deserves to be the top zoo to visit in the uk

    My girlfriend adopted a Penguin at Chester Zoo for my a while ago and we got to go free to see it, and the rest of the park of course.Chester Zoo is a great day out and so much fun. Loads to see and do, prices are a bit expensive but they always are at attractions. If the weathers good, Chester zoo is a great day for all the family.Perfect Easter day out.

    Although the Parking - Toilets - some of the Houses eg Reptile butterfly monkey were well done. We were very disappointed in the general standard of Chester Zoo compared to a few years ago and the number of animals appeared much less. Queueing an HOUR to get in - there were 6 queues all approx 50yds long!
    Main play park closed in school holidays??!!
    We took our grandchildren for a day out and felt shortchanged - don't think we'll be back in a hurry

    We went for a day out on 29/12/08, stayed at Innkeepers Lodge Chester NE- good value for money & Toby Carvery on site. Considering it was freezing cold the queue to enter took 30 minutes to move through approximately 50 people, not surprising as there were more staff trying to get you to sign up for Gift Aid than there were at the pay desks. Family ranged in ages from 63 to 4 & we all enjoyed the day & would come again but next time bring our own food !

    Staff are very friendly, lots of activities going on if you go at the right time, signs all around the zoo to help you find you way, their map is very colourful with lots of pictures so that young children can have fun finding there way around. Expensive food, but you could always take a picnic. Chester Zoo is very good for a day out, good value for your money but take a picnic instead of buying food.

    Lots of animals. Lack of sign posts and the cost of items in the park such as food and drink is poor. Would not recomend to the older generation

    14.95 to get in - another two quid for the monorail. don't take any elderly people with you - there is nowhere for them to sit. Children will be disappointed to find they cannot see any animals.

    Not as good as it once was in my opinion. Found the animals difficult to see and thought it was expensive.
    Have been going for over 30 years and will not visit again.

    Great day out for families with small children. Buggy hire and wheelchair hire available - site clean, flat and well kept. Animals well cared for.

    I wish I lived nearer so I could visit more often. An absolutely wonderul zoo. Animals were well cared for and had very spacious and suitable enclosures. Informative and educational. A lovely place.

    Plenty of parking at Chester Zoo. Some new exhibits such as the bat house are interesting. Enclosures are very large for Lions, Tigers, Jaguars etc etc and with only two animals it can very difficult to see the animals. Elephant enclosure has just bare ground and the animals looked bored. Most of the rose beds have been removed and picnic areas have been reduced. The condor enclosure does not seem to allow the birds to fly properly. Can be very busy. Often very difficult to see the animals. The ...

    The Zoo is very disabled-friendly with easy access to all places. For photographers, most of the exhibits are good with plenty of room for tripods if you are careful when doing close ups.
    Educationally, Chester cannot be faulted with lots of information posted about projects and concerns.
    Like most Zoos/Wildlife Parks, Chester is continually evolving with new accommodation for animals and new attractions. The Elephants, Chimps and Orangs are world famous and you won't be disappointed.

    I have been going to Chester Zoo for years and have always enjoyed it. Several new attractions have been added over the years and all in all I think it is a good family day out.
