Following the recent announcements from the Government we are pleased to announce that Colchester Zoo will be re-opening on Thursday 18th June but health and safety at the forefront. After many long months of being closed to the public and with no regular income it is vitally important that we open again soon for the zoo to survive and continue the important work of caring for our animals. The majority of Colchester Zoo is open-air, over 60 acres with wide pathways and open areas. We hope that this will be an ideal location for those who would like to venture outside and reconnect with nature but within a safe environment. Tickets must be booked online for a timed slot.

​Additional Covid measures in place. Prebookable only! Please do not arrive any earlier than 10 minutes before your tee time (please note there are no picnic tables to wait at as mentioned below) - Bookings are only for members of the same household or one person outside of your household on a two person booking. - There is a maximum of 5 people to Crazy Golf and FootGolf, and 4 people for a Par 3 booking.

Online bookings only.
