For the first time EVER, Chester Zoo are giving you the chance to spend an enchanting evening exploring everything that Chester Zoo has to offer!

It’s time to explore like NEVER before!

Explore… Into the Night

Have you ever wondered what an elephant’s evening routine looks like, or how a cheetah chills out after a long day? How about what it’s like to sail the Lazy River as the sun starts to set? Now’s YOUR CHANCE to find out! Into the Night is the first evening event where the FULL zoo will be open.

As well as exploring everything there is to do at Chester Zoo, Into the Night brings you loads of other evening extras. You’ll find BRAND NEW food and drink, and exhilarating entertainment.

Spice up your life with Global Grooves! Combining VIBRANT costumes with playful puppeteers, this walkabout performance will surprise and inspire. 

From kebabs and picnic boxes to Indonesian noodles, there’ll be lots of tasty food on sale, freshly prepared and THEMED especially for this event. Available for a LIMITED time only.

Quench your thirst with one of our gin sorbet cocktails, made from our very own Chester Zoo gin, infused with hand-picked ingredients from right here at the zoo!

Into the Night will run across four exclusive evenings at Chester Zoo – Friday 29 July, Saturday 30 July, Friday 12 August and Saturday 13 August, from 5.30pm until 9pm. All parts of the zoo will be open, including animal habitats, tropical houses, indoor areas and restaurants.

If you’re visiting the zoo during the day you’ll need to go back to the main entrance at 5pm when the zoo closes and wait until 5:30pm for Into The Night to start. Remember, you’ll need to bring your separate Into The Night booking with you to re-enter the zoo. Please ensure you have bought a separate zoo admission ticket, or you have a valid member’s card if you want to visit during the day – your Into The Night ticket will only grant access for the evening event.

There is ample FREE parking at the main entrance to the zoo.
