Have some wild fun at Chester Zoo
Budding Bill Oddies and Michaela Strachans looking to combine their passion for wildlife with a grand family day out need look no further than Chester Zoo.
Set in the heart of the north-west of England, the zoo has over 7,000 species ranging from sharks and parrots to owls and tigers, so animal aficionados of all kinds are sure to be satisfied.
In addition, there is a wide variety of natural plants and flowers, which not only provide colourful displays but give animal inhabitants a sense of their natural habitat.
Tourists also have the opportunity to attend a series of talks by staff giving more information about the animals on display.
With three shops also available, visitors are unlikely to be stumped to find a souvenir from their visit, as there are a wide range of animal-themed gifts available, in addition to tourist essentials such as batteries, film and ponchos should the weather suddenly become inclement.
However, those wanting some zoological adventures a little further afield may wish to stop by the Antwerp Zoo in Belgium, which hosts over 5,000 animals.
