Welcome Back Chester Zoo

Yay……lockdown numero duo is coming to an end next week. Anyone still sane? Yes. That’s good. I am as well as it happens. Cooking on gas as they say. Tier 2 when we re-open things though. And one of those ‘things’ re-opening is Chester Zoo. So, let’s take the opportunity to say “Welcome Back Chester Zoo.” So, what can we expect from our extremely popular, world famous attraction? Read on to find out more.

Welcome Back Chester Zoo

Yes, welcome back Chester Zoo. Great to have you back. The Zoo will be re-opening on Wednesday, 2nd December at 10am. I’ll bet Boris is well excited!!! I do mean of course our very own superstar, Boris the Chimpanzee. Not the other Boris.

As I say, re-opening on Wednesday 2nd December at 10am and it is worth noting that The Lanterns is still going ahead. If you are thinking of paying a visit, you can find all the most recent safety details and advice HERE.

Welcome Back Chester Zoo – A Brief Update

While Chester Zoo have been closed, 2020 has thrown up yet more challenges for them! That’s a huge understatement. Aside from the Covid 19 issues, a couple of cases of avian flu have been reported in the UK and so, as a precautionary measure to protect the many precious birds at the zoo. Some of the indoor habitats will have to remain closed for a while. The Zoo will reopen them as soon as it’s safe to do so.

If you are planning a visit, you will need to book tickets in advance. To do so, click this link HERE.

Christmas Will Be Different

Last But Least – A New Baby Announcement

A Chester Zoo post wouldn’t be complete without mentioning a recent, special birth would it. And, on that note, Chester Zoo are celebrating the recent birth of a rare baby eastern black rhino!

A female calf, by the name of Kasulu, was safely delivered by new mum Ema Elsa following a 15-month-long pregnancy! This birth will be ‘celebrated globally’ as fewer than 1000 now remain on the planet. Great news and great work by Chester Zoo, yet again!!!
