A beautiful visit but personally it's not especially worth the admission fee. There are so many delights I can see for free with my national trust card.

Absolutely amazing. Food great, toilets very clean. Dinosaur area is just fantastic. My 2 grandsons (4 and 5) were so excited. Surpassed my expectations. Then the zoo itself was lovely. Not.too huge, which was great for little legs. The beach and pool at the end was a huge surprise. My grandsons stripped off and ran straight in with their pants :-) fantastic day Thank you

We visited yesterday and had a fantastic day! It was about 26⁰C so some animals were hiding in the shade but we got great views of lots of them, especially those that we went along to the talk for. The talks were very good, my 8 year old listened to it all, about 10-15 minutes for each one and the keepers were happy to answer lots of questions. I was very impressed that they gave information about how the public can help endangered animals by choosing certain products such as Rainforest Alliance tea. All the animals looked very healthy and well looked after.
The highlight for my daughter was seeing Tyler from One Zoo Three, he really was the nicest guy, happy to chat and have a photo taken with her 😊
We hired a stroller for the day as my daughter is autistic. This worked really well and enabled her to enjoy the day much more, well worth the £14 for a double one which was big enough for her.
Although it was the summer holidays and the car park looked pretty full, nothing seemed ridiculously crowded, we didn't have to queue long for anything and there was plenty of seating in shady spots.
We went for lunch in the air conditioned Pangaea cafe a bit later, 2pm, and by then the salads had sold out and the sandwich choice was limited so recommend getting lunch earlier. The food was reasonably good. Could do with some more non-fizzy soft drinks choices, they only had little cartons or water. There were lots of water refill points around the zoo which was good.
I have a feeling the Sunbear Bakery (which we only discovered later in the day) might have been a nicer place to eat with views of the abimals but there isn't much information on the website about what food is available where so we'd just headed to the main "food court" area.
All on all it was an excellent day out, there was easily enough to do for a whole day. Next time I will make sure to go to the paddling pool, we missed it this time as I'd forgotten it closes 30 mins before the zoo shuts and I'd been planning on going just before we left. So we will definitely back and would highly recommend a visit!

We are members of Chester Zoo, and once a year we can visit a "partner" zoo for free, so we did! We saw many creatures and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The zoo have talks throughout the day and the Penguin one was great.

The drivers that delivered the materials today were extremely friendly and helpful!!
