Chester Zoo, Chester

The Chester Zoo is a few miles outside the centre of Chester, but you can catch a bus from the centre of town quite easily. It is a huge place, and a visit can easily take up a whole day. The zoo has an excellent reputation in conservation, and it is possible to see some of the rarest species in the world here. It also has some novel ways of showing its creatures - don't miss the bat cave, where you enter a twilight world with fruit bats flying around just above your head. It can be difficult to spot some of the animals so you must be patient at the zoo.
