CHESTER ZOO REVIEWS

The zoo is a great spot for wildlife, even better if you are going with kids as many learning opportunities for them to explore. I went to visit my adopted animals so entered with adoption voucher but it was a standard weekday not too busy with some school groups though. Some of the lovely animals were playing hide and seek so it counted on your luck if you could spot them when you’re at their home. General experience is great. Opens from 10 to 5. We arrived at noon and finished seeing everything at 5.

The zoo is really nice and the animals look content and seem well looked after. We enjoyed ourselves, but the afterglow part we went for is just a late opening. There was nothing really that set it apart as a special event, just a normal day at the zoo. Worth it for the cheaper tickets, I suppose, but they could just advertise it as such or actually make an effort to make it have a different feel to it.

Fab, fab, fab... Was really busy but went for the Afterglow even so the zoo quietened down. Lovely to see the animals but there was also live performances to watch. It helped that the sun was shining.

GROSVENOR MUSEUM REVIEWS

The Grosvenor Museum is a fabulous place full of interesting and wonderful historic artefacts. The building it self is worth a visit with the mosaic entrance hall and winding staircase. There is more and more to discover. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful too.

What an amazing museum, lifts available from street and all floors inside, great range of Roman stones and artifacts. Really lovely little children's area with little tables and chairs with crayons and pics to colour. Nice gift shop too. Has a period house attached too which was really nice to see all the room's. Entrance free, donations accepted in boxes dotted around museum. £1 fee suggested if you want to take photos.

Really interesting mixture of items ranging from roman to natural history, mostly covering the history of the Chester area. Learnt so much about the city. Bigger than I thought and can easily spend over an hour there. The building itself is also beautiful. Free entry too.

CHESHIRE MILITARY MUSEUM REVIEWS

A highly enjoyable visit to Cheshire Military Museum by a group from Chester Business Club on 8/11/23. Friendly informative staff. Very interesting artefacts on display. I particularly enjoyed walking through time: a well organised collection that lead me from the creation of the Cheshire Military regiment, through the wars, through The Troubles, to present day. Poignant moments in history brought to life. A very special museum in Chester - highly recommended.

Just called in at the last minute to see if they had anything from a couple of my ancestors, General David Anderson and his son Lt. Gen Sir Warren Hastings Anderson KCB... extremely helpful staff, and within 5 minutes, I found Hastings Medals. (I am still searching for Hastings uniform, which I know was donated somewhere and only found one medal for David so curious where his others are.) It is a very interesting museum and an absolute must to visit if you have any army interest or family connection.

I didn't plan on going here, but decided to pop in on my travels. Its a nice little museum with plenty to see. I always enjoy looking at the out fits they used to wear in the military, full of so much personality and thought about how to look wealthy and imposing. Wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate, little outside area to with a tank!
