Things to Do

There is plenty to see and do at Colchester Zoo, making it a fun day out for families, couples and groups.

The zoo has a wide variety of animals and attractions spread across its large grounds.

Visitors can:

• See a wide range of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, penguins and reptiles.

• Explore different animal habitats and themed areas around the zoo.

• Watch animal talks, demonstrations and encounters available during the day.

• Ride the Lost Madagascar Express road train and see another part of the zoo.

• Enjoy children's play areas and interactive activities.

• Get closer to animals such as goats and sheep in selected areas.

• Stop for food, drinks and refreshments at cafés and food outlets around the zoo.

• Visit the gift shop for souvenirs at the end of the day.

Visiting in February

February can be a great time to visit because the zoo is generally quieter than during the busy summer months.

Make sure to wrap up warm, as much of the zoo is outdoors. There are also indoor animal houses and exhibits

where you can warm up while continuing to explore.

Accessibility

Colchester Zoo aims to make the attraction accessible to as many visitors as possible.

Most areas can be reached by wheelchair, although visitors should be aware that the zoo is large and

quite hilly, with some steep pathways.

Accessibility facilities include:

• Wheelchair-accessible routes around most of the zoo.

• Accessible parking spaces close to the entrance.

• Accessible toilets around the zoo.

• Wheelchairs and mobility scooters available for hire.

• An accessible carriage on the Lost Madagascar Express.

• An accessibility map showing easier routes and steep areas.

• A Changing Places facility for visitors requiring additional space and equipment.

Because of the size and hills, visitors with limited mobility may want to plan their route before arriving

and allow plenty of time to explore.
