Chester Zoo has opened its new summer present: Crazi Bugz, featuring electric buggies and trucks.
The UK’s most visited zoo has teamed up with Aqualand Industries to create the Crazi Bugz vehicles for families to drive and enjoy. Children from four to 14-year-olds will be able to drive and thrive.
The zoo has built a dedicated track for the six-wheeled Crazi-Bugz and Adventure-Trukz to enhance the experience for young visitors.
Dominic Strange, commercial director at Chester Zoo, said: “Chester Zoo is one of the UK’s most popular visitor destinations, dedicated to creating a world where nature can survive and thrive.
“We pride ourselves on finding new ways to engage our visitors to keep them coming back time and time again, and the thrill of independent driving in field conservation-style jeeps, even for our youngest guests, is sure to help inspire every conservationist of the future.
“The project was carefully planned with the support of the Aqualand Industries team, and they deliver service around the vehicles using a real partnership approach.”
Aqualand Industries designs and manufactures the six-wheeled Crazi-Bugz, the exciting Adventure Trukz and the newly launched all-family activity, the Adventurer. The experienced company provided a holistic service from advice on track design to training support, maintenance and finance. All its products are manufactured in the UK at the company’s dedicated R&D and manufacturing facility in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire.

“We approach every project with a commitment to being there when our customers need us and ensuring that our vehicles help to drive revenue and enhance the visitor experience.”
