    I don't think there has been any discounts now for a good few years apart from things like £5 off a child's entrance if they arrive with 2 full paying adults.
    it is very expensive to get in but it is a very full days entertainment and everyone takes picnic lunches.
    Thanks have looked online and nothing as such.

    I agree it is a great day out and worth the money but if a discount paid for a gallon of petrol it would be an even better day out :D

    Yes we have taken a picnic before but seen as it is 150 miles from here we tend to eat most of that at the car once we get there then pay for a meal later on then finish picnic off before we leave for the return journey.

    Edit: might be closer just tapped it into google and it said 150 miles went into another site and only 123 will go with the second

    Anyone know the cheapest way to get into Chester Zoo apart from over the fence etc ;)
    Been a few times in the past and used to stop off at services down there and pick up a leaflet from tourist information hut, gave £5 off I think but at my age :D memory fails me as to which one and no idea if they still do them anyway.
    So any ideas folks
    Just hang around outside for a while, sure the keeper will capture you and put you back in your cage!
