open chester zoo with social distancing measures and online booking in place.
More details
Reason being they are in danger of having to close for good because they are in serious debt because of the covid-19 issues. And what i don't understand is that if fast food restaurants etc can open up, why can chester zoo not open up with social distancing measures in place and online booking only. This really needs to be sorted, we can not loose chester zoo
