Chester Zoo Lakeside Lodges

Chester Zoo has lodged fresh plans for visitors to enjoy a unique overnight stay - with a chance to wake up and see giraffes at close quarters. The ambitious proposals would see a whole swathe of overnight accommodation and a new restaurant being built next to a giraffe enclosure at the popular tourist attraction.

Visitors to the zoo would be able to enjoy staying over at one of 62 lodges within the Grasslands zone. The zoo was originally given planning permission to build 28 lodges and 14 tents at the zoo back in September 2019, but the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic meant that the project had to be put on hold.
