This Christmas sees the return of Chester Zoo's popular Lantern Magic experience between 4th-23rd December 2014.
Write your letter to Santa and get creative in the lantern workshop before experiencing the nocturnal sounds of the zoo after dark. Journey through an enchanted illuminated trail leading to a spectacular display of animal lanterns.
You can also make a Christmas wish and hang it on the giant wishing tree and say 'hello' to Santa. The Fruit Bat Forest and the Elephant House will also be open.
There will be plenty of deliciously tasty treats plus enjoy a free winter warming drink.

Dear Boils and Ghouls...Oh, sorry, I meant to say boys and girls. I'll bet you're not scared when you visit the Horrendously Haunted Old Hall. So drag along those fearful friends and groaning grown ups and show them how brave you are. Meet our spirits and spectres. Which is real and what is not? Will you get the feeling of being watched? Are the ghosts fiendishly friendly or terrifyingly terrible? Are they especially spiteful or simply simperingly soft? It's up to you to find out, if you dare, by helping us haunt the hall. BE WARNED – YOU COULD BE REALLY SCARED! Some people may find the haunted hall ever so frightening but that's half the fun. Isn't it? Solve the Horrible History Mystery and Quiz. Story telling. Face Painting and Mask Making. Adult £6, Child £4.50, Family £17. Open 12pm to 5pm (last entry 4pm).

We're going Orange for Orangutans - Fri 17th Oct
We are supporting Chester Zoo and Act for Wildlife's 'Go Orange for Orangutans' fundraising event!
Orangutans are one of our closest relatives. We share OVER 96% of our DNA with them and, along with humans, they're the only great ape to live outside of Africa.
Known as the 'old man of the forest', they're also the only apes that spend almost their entire lives in the rainforest canopies of Sumatra and Borneo. Their treetop homes are some of the oldest on earth and had remained almost unchanged for the past 70 million years. However in the 21st century the demand for timber, palm oil, roads, agricultural land and space for mining means huge areas of the forest have now been lost, taking with it the homes of orangutans. With their numbers dwindling we're on the verge of losing this species FOREVER. Go Orange for Orangutans and help replant the rainforest to save our cousins in the wild.
Go Orange for Orangutans Day at the Nursery!
We are suggesting that your donate a pound and that your little one comes dressed in orange! You don't have to be completely orange but a hat, t-shirt, socks, dress would be fine.
100% of money raised will go to the charity.
For more information on 'Go Orange for Orangutans' visit: http://www.actforwildlife.org.uk/go-orange-for-orangutans/go-orange-for-orangutans#register
