Chester Zoo, is one of the best I have been to in the UK.. We are going to be taking the little one, just before easter time.. She's only 11 months, but she loves the animals we have - so I'm sure she would love the Zoo.

Chester zoo is less than an hour from us...we love it...get a packed lunch and sit in the warm reptile house with all the exotic birds free flying around.
When we go we take the kids off school for the day so it is quieter...I think it is a good learning day out for them and we only do it once or twice a year....It costs over £50 for us all to get in but you can fill a whole day.

I cant get round it in a full day its just too big. They seriously have something for everyone but as i said i just cant get round it all, its a hell of a good workout getting round it though.

Definatly the best rep house I've been to. Love it, we take my neice coz she loves the monitors. A guy I know used to work there and he said majority of the collection isn't on display and they do a lot of behavioural research behind the scenes, which makes me like it more because there is some actual science goin on rather than just animals in boxes. Some of the enclosures are a bit small, but they obviously have to compromise perfect welfare with viewing for the public.

I'm goin at easter and I recommend anyone else to go too Student discount too, yay!!!
