Featured World Zoo: Chester Zoo

Excerpt from the Chester Zoo Education page

Image courtesy of Chester ZooOur unique resources mean that learning in the Zoo is a multi-sensory experience, whether it is through exciting hands-on activities as part of our Schools’ Discovery Programme or via informal education.

Education is an important aspect of conservation. We aim to raise awareness through activities that are inclusive, dynamic and fun!

Interactive award-winning signage, or interpretation, presents information in an entertaining way whilst a team of Presenters give short, snappy informative talks.  We provide a range of interesting themed activities for families to enjoy. 

The conservation message is continued through our work abroad. We support ambitious educational outreach projects in Africa and South America, offering help, practical advice and funding.

A valuable resource is the Library, found in the Education Centre, which houses one of the best zoological collections in the region and looks after the Zoo’s archive collection.
