If you’re traveling to Colchester with your children, then you’ll most certainly love a visit to the Colchester Zoo. This zoological garden dates from 1963 and it features almost 800,000 visitors per year. Its collection features primates, endangered species, big cats and rare species. The Action for the Wild supports the Colchester Zoo that will celebrate 50 years in 2013.
In the beginning, the Zoo was called Stanway Hall Zoo Park. Currently, the animal habitats in the zoo are grouped in various themed zones. Koi Niwa is home to various Koi carp species.
