National Conservation Zoo

Opening times today: 10am - 4pm (Last entry at 3pm)

Chester Zoo is easy to get to and not far from the M56 or Chester city centre.

You’ll see lots of signposts on the main roads around Chester. If you’re visiting us via motorway, follow the signs to Chester until you see the brown tourist zoo signs. 

Once you get onto the A41, stay on that road until you reach a roundabout with signs for Chester Zoo. Sat navs often get confused so please ignore them once you get onto the A41. Please note: Don’t turn down Flag Lane North as it’s a dead end.
