Colchester Zoo is set in over 60 acres and cares for over 10,000 animals costing over half a million pounds per month for animal welfare and the upkeep of the park.

We are heavily reliant upon ticket sales and visits to come out the other side of this but we experienced plummeting visitor numbers during the pandemic. Without your visits and support we simply would not be able to achieve our mission of helping protect species through education and conservation projects.

We continue to do our utmost to cut costs wherever possible but the day to day running of the zoo is still high especially in the current cost of living crisis we are all facing.
