Baby tree kangaroo

Chester Zoo has announced that mums can visit for free across Mother’s Day weekend.

To mark the celebratory weekend (Saturday 18 March and Sunday 19 March), mums are invited to explore the zoo to learn more about the conservation charity’s mission to prevent the extinction of endangered species.

The initiative comes after an eventful start to the year for the zoo, which has seen several animal mums welcome new arrivals in a baby boom of rare and highly threatened species. Among the newborns are a Western chimpanzee, a tree kangaroo, a Malayan tapir and Sumatran tiger cubs.

Gemma Wright, Senior Admissions and Membership Manager at the zoo, said:

“We’ve recently experienced a huge baby boom of some of the world’s most threatened species, including the arrivals of greater one-horned rhino calf Jiya, Malayan tapir Nessa, fossa cub triplets, a baby Western chimpanzee named Jeff, the zoo’s first Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo joey and Sumatran tiger cub twins – all born as part of vital conservation breeding programmes.

“To celebrate, we want to mark the special occasion of Mother’s Day by offering mums the opportunity to visit for free, to connect with nature, see these incredible animals and their new babies for themselves, and learn all about the zoo’s efforts to prevent extinction.”


To claim free admission, mums simply need to arrive at the zoo during the weekend accompanied by a full paying adult or child, or a valid membership card.

Tickets can also be pre-booked via the zoo’s website: https://www.chesterzoo.org/plan-your-visit/

    I absolutely love the idea of visiting Chester Zoo with the family. The chance to connect with nature and see these amazing animals, including the newborns is truly special. Speaking of special experiences, I've been thinking about documenting our family outings in a blog, and I recently came across a source that helps write my essay in UK https://ukwritings.com/write-my-essay that could help me write about our adventures. They offer assistance in creating engaging and well-crafted content, which would be perfect for capturing and sharing our experiences at the zoo and other family activities. I believe it would be a fantastic way to preserve our memories and share them with others.
