Chester Zoo to stay open after hours for the first time in rare chance to spot nocturnal animals

Chester Zoo is to open its doors after hours for the very first time - offering visitors the chance to explore the zoo and its 27,000 animals after the sunset.

The Zoo’s ‘Into The Night’ experience will see the 128-acre site stay open until 9pm - beyond its usual 5pm closing time. This will happen across four evenings in July and August, with all parts of the zoo staying open for ticket holders.

The experience, which will cost £15 for adults and £10 for children aged 3-17, is being launched to raise money for the not-for-profit conservation zoo’s vital efforts to prevent extinction in the UK and around the world.
