The popular Cheshire attraction will see a variety of exciting changes in readiness for the new season and the future.

The upgrades planned include improved overall facilities throughout the zoo, an overnight accommodation, a new restaurant and a new habitat.

The work has already begun and by spring 2023, the zoo will celebrate married couples with a brand-new luxury wedding and events venue fit for 380 guests. 

Plans have also been revealed for the creation of a new snow leopard habitat.

Chester Zoo gave further information on its future plans: “Throughout the next few years we are developing some of the most exciting new additions the zoo has ever seen. This includes our project to bring an authentic African savannah with lodge-style accommodation to the zoo with the new Heart of Africa zone. 

“We are also delighted to be developing a state-of-the-art snow leopard habitat which is set to open in 2024.”
