A new habitat and lakeside lodges are just some of the exciting developments in the works
The popular tourist attraction is introducing some exciting changes, including overnight accommodation, a new habitat and even the opportunity to tie the knot at the venue. Some of the developments should be complete in the next few years.
The zoo wants to create a new animal holding building, on-show and off-show animal enclosures and a public viewing area. Jamie Christon, CEO at Chester Zoo, said: “The Square will be a special, one-of-a-kind space that preserves the zoo’s rich history and character, while also adding a modern twist to its interior that showcases our plans for a more sustainable future. While the zoo has, for some time, offered an intimate wedding and events space at The Oakfield gastropub, which can hold around 50 guests, we’re frequently asked if we can accommodate larger scale events.
Visitors to the zoo would be able to enjoy staying over at one of 62 lodges within the Grasslands zone. The zoo was originally given planning permission to build 28 lodges and 14 tents at the zoo back in September 2019, but the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic meant that the project had to be put on hold.
