Another major attraction is the Chester Zoo, the
largest zoo in the UK with over 5,000 animals in
spacious enclosures, set in 110 acres of gardens
(actually just outside Chester in Upton-by-Chester).
The role of the Zoo is to support and promote conservation
by breeding threatened species, by excellent animal
welfare, high quality public service, recreation,
education and science. Chester Zoo offers a fun
and stimulating day out for everyone, no matter
what age or ability. As well as our 500 different
species of animals and award-winning gardens, we
offer first class facilities that ensure your day
out really is as enjoyable as possible.
