Chester Zoo

4.6/5 (511 reviews)
It's feeding time at the zoo! If you can't resist those cuddly critters you might want to pay a trip to Chester Zoo, located 2.5 mi (4 km) from central Chester. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here? It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you have fun at Chester Zoo, you'll love Blue Planet Aquarium and Crocky Trail, both located nearby.
