Walk of the week
Colchester Zoo is now one of the finest Zoos in Europe due to a constant programme of development and recently won the coveted "Large Visitor Attraction of the Year" Award from East of England Tourist Board.
With over 250 species to see, set in 60 acres of beautiful parkland and lakes, Colchester Zoo is well worth a visit.
There is so much to see and do at Colchester Zoo, which provides fun for all the family. You can see sea lions swimming above your heads at 'Playa Patagonia', and see penguins swimming at Penguin Shores. Plus you can watch baby elephants Kito and Jambo playing together with the other elephants at Spirit of Africa or see giraffes, zebras, rhinos and more at Kingdom of the Wild. Colchester Zoo also has some of the rarest big cats in the world including three Amur tigers at Tiger Taiga and an Amur leopard at Leopard Ark.

With over 30 daily displays, the newly refurbished soft play area - Kalahari Capers, 4 adventure play areas, a road train and more, there is so much to fit in, in just one day!
