Why is Chester Zoo closed?
Not being able to open, despite being a huge outdoor site with all the necessary safety measures in place, is having a devastating impact of the future survival of this much-loved charity zoo. We're heading towards debt in excess of £24m by the end of 2020 – this will financially cripple us.
Do I have to wear a mask at Chester Zoo?
We'll still be asking you to wear masks in some areas
To keep the animals in our walkthrough exhibits as safe as possible (the areas where visitors share the same space as our animals) we will be asking all visitors aged over 11yrs without exemptions to wear facemasks.
