Book your stay

Make the most of slower, longer days and warmer evenings with a midweek stay at The Reserve.

With our Spring into Summer offer you save 15% on June stays when you stay from Sunday to Thursday.

Spend your days discovering the magic of Chester Zoo before returning to the peaceful surroundings of The Reserve. Watch the sun set from your private balcony, then wake to slow mornings and breakfast overlooking the lake at Amboseli restaurant - the perfect way to enjoy the transition from spring into summer.

Take a look below to see what's included:

Complimentary parking and signature welcome drink

Enjoy a warm welcome with one of our signature drinks whilst we check you in and then you're free to head straight into the zoo for your first day. Our team will look after your luggage and bring it directly to your lodge for your return.

2-day zoo pass with early access

From the moment you arrive on Day 1, you'll be able to head straight into the zoo for the day via your private guest entrance into our Heart of Africa zone. Enjoy a day exploring where you'll meet some of the 500+ species we care for before heading back to The Reserve.

Explore the Heart of Africa zone of the zoo from 9am, a full hour earlier than general public access, and then access to the main zoo from 10am.

Breakfast 

Breakfast is included at Amboseli restaurant with stunning views across the terrace toward the lake.

Evening Ranger Activities

Each evening, our expert Rangers host a relaxed programme of activities for you to enjoy at your own pace. From storytelling and creative crafts to animal talks and light-hearted quizzes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Inspired by life in the field, our storytelling sessions bring conservation to life in a warm and welcoming setting. Settle in, get comfortable, and hear fascinating insights into the animals in our care and the global work we support - while our rangers are always on hand to chat and answer your questions throughout the evening.
