Today's Announcements

Please be aware that the outdoor area of Pygmy hippos is currently closed whilst we upgrade the hippo area and improve visitor viewing.

As a preventative measure following a Housing Order by the Secretary of State regarding Avian Flu, the majority of our bird species are currently off-show.

The indoor area of Wilds of Asia is also closed for development work.

If you have any queries regarding your visit, you can find answers to our most popular FAQs here.

SAVE PAPER and download the Colchester Zoo App ahead of your visit for an interactive map and all of today's animal encounter times!
