By accident of timing I ended up with a Colchester Gold card but I feel that I should really have a Chester membership instead. It says 'at least' one visit to various other zoos - are you restricted to one visit?
 
With a Chester membership you can go to Bristol, Colchester, Dublin, Edinburgh, Fota Wildlife Park, Marwell, Paignton (and Living Coasts) and Twycross as many times as you want. There are just two limited reciprocals, Belfast and Woburn Safari Park, you can only visit those once per year.

I have also managed Newquay and Highland Wildlife Park on my Chester Zoo Membership.
 
Thanks for this, I doubt I'll go to Belfast and could live with only one visit to Woburn. My only visit there was in the 60s, so not a regular!
 
On my colchester card, I've been to Dublin and Belfast, as well as (obviously) colchester :D
 
I've got a Colchester platinum card and have also used it to go to Chester a handful of times and Twycross several times. In fact at each zoo they barely glanced at it, whereas at Colchester it's always scanned.

However ...... have just looked at Colchester's website to check if, like the Chester card, it gets you into Woburn (it doesn't) and it now states that Colchester cards get you only 1 visit per year to Chester. This must be a recent introduction as I used it there 3 times last year without any problem.
 
I've been to Chester twice in the last 12 months on my Colchester card and I'm at Colchester every week. Been to Twycross more than 3 times in the last 12 months too. Colchester always scan the cards, Twycross look at the front and Chester checked the date on it but that was it

That's an interesting development. I've been to Chester 4 times this year on my Colchester card.
 
Newquay, Paignton and Living Costs are all run by the same group so a card for one should let you in all of them.

We went to Chester 4 times in a week this year. The figures must show a surge of Paignton members one week every year.
