CHESTER ZOO is the UK's number one charity zoo, with over 7000 animals and 400 different species, including some of the most endangered species on the planet. With more than one million visitors every year, the zoo - a conservation charity - is an all-year round favourite attraction for kids of all ages!

There are so many things to see and do at Chester Zoo, such as the Elephants of the Asian Forest enclosure - a new home for the Zoo's elephants. Delve into the sights and sounds of Assam, with the herd of ten Asian elephants, Hornbills, Tree Shrews and rare fish. Come and see elephant calf, Raman, born in November 2006, exploring his new surroundings and young giraffe 'Molly', together with the Zoo's many other young arrivals.

Also new - Cafe Tsavo the eco-friendly cafeteria where visitors can eat under the watchful eyes of some of the animals including rhinos, mongoose and warthogs, and The Secret World of the Okapi enclosure which is home to the elusive Okapi.
