No Minigolf at Chester Zoo

The Conservation Golf course at Chester Zoo is no longer there.

We had a day out at Chester Zoo yesterday. Unfortunately the Conservation Golf course that our friend John Mittler snapped for us in January 2018 is long gone.

Chester Zoo's monorail

A look at what remains of the monorail at Chester Zoo.


Monorail at Chester Zoo

Unfortunately we were two years too late to have a ride on the monorail at Chester Zoo when we visited yesterday.


However, as a big fan of monorails it was interesting to see sections of the track still in place

We haven't made it to Chester Zoo yet, we're hoping to visit in the summer. The Conservation Golf course wasn't on our Crazy World of Minigolf 'to visit' list, so it's another one to add to our future travels.
