Temporary Zoo Closure as of Monday 23rd March

It is with great pain and sorrow we have had to take the decision to close Colchester Zoo down to visitors from the morning of Monday 23rd March.

The decision, after consideration, is taken with the interest of everyone, visitors, members of staff and our social responsibilities.

For more information please read the letter written by the directors of Colchester Zoo here.
