Colchester Zoo

Colchester Zoo has been located in Colchester in the county of Essex, around 64 miles (approx. 103 km) from the British capital London, since 1963. On the zoo grounds you will find around 180 animal species from all continents. From A for monkeys to R for predators and Z for zebras, you can discover all kinds of animals in their enclosures and aviaries. If you've always wanted to see and feed a giraffe up close, you can also do so at Colchester Zoo. Younger visitors can also enjoy various activities such as sand painting, face painting and, of course, various playgrounds. The park railway Lost Madagascar Road Train, which makes its rounds, is a comfortable way to explore the zoo. Various snack stands and restaurants provide refreshments. Colchester Zoo is open all year round.
