Things to do

Colchester Zoo is set within over 60 acres of beautiful parkland and lakes and is home to over 155 different species, including the critically endangered Amur leopards, Black and White Ruffed lemurs and Bornean orangutans.

Discover many different habitats from across the globe, from the humid home of the Komodo dragons to the Zoo's very own African plain, home to White rhino, giraffes, ostrich, zebra and kudu.

As you journey around the Zoo, you'll find there's so much to explore. Let your kids release their wild side at the soft play complex, Jungle Tumble, or get hands on at the interactive sand table at the Discovery Den and even watch your own creations come to life on the live wall. Take a ride on the Lost Madagascar Express for a break on your adventure and spot many exciting species along the way.
