A small donation can make a huge difference with Gift Aid

By adding a £0.00 donation to your booking and choosing Gift Aid, our charity can receive £0.00 from the UK government to fund our important conservation work to protect and restore wildlife.

Great News!

We can claim Gift Aid on your booking, which means the government will give us an extra 25p on top of every £1 you spend with us.

That means our charity would get an additional £8.25 donation at no cost to you, just by clicking the button below

I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in this tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Elephant Experience

The elephant herd at Chester Zoo are really special to us and our visitors. This experience will give you the opportunity to interact with our elephants by hosing them down. You may have seen our elephants frolicking around in their pool - they love nothing more than taking a dip and splashing around in water on a warm summer’s day.

This is a chance to meet our expert elephant keepers and get a special experience with our elephants – with the help of a water hose! You’ll also discover more about the work of our keepers and the incredible work our teams are doing to protect this species from extinction.

By buying this gift, not only will it be an experience to remember but you will also be contributing to our conservation work both here and around the world helping to save wildlife from extinction – thank you!

Your experience:

  • Will last approximately 45 mins with approximately 20 mins spent with the animals.
  • The chance to hose down the elephants from an exclusive washing station.
  • The opportunity to learn about these highly intelligent animals and ask our keepers any questions you may have.
  • Exclusive gift and experience certificate.
  • Zoo admission.

Participants must be 18 years or older.
