Zoo's in Winter

Knowsley doesn't open all year round, so depending on when you're coming that option could be taken away from you.

I agree the Polar Bears at YWP in snow would be fab, but don't build your hopes up, snow is not that common, you'd need to be fortunate. What a prospect if you were to be though. Trentham would be good in the snow I'm sure; its on my list to do if I get chance over the winter, but as good as it is a monkey exhibit the place is a one trick pony and you won't spend long there. Trentham is close to Peak Wildlife Park but I think that might be a challenge to get to in the snow!

I would do YWP, Blackpool and Chester out of the collections you've listed, and for maximum indoor time, Chester wins.

Trentham also shuts for the winter on 1st November and is then closed until February/March when it opens at weekends only.Having visited a few times I wouldn't waste your time visiting unless you are real bored and have an hour to kill!
 
Ah yes, good point.

I like Trentham, but a lot of that is what it offers a photographer. If you're into your primates though, it's well worth a visit. Albeit you won't be there too long!
 
I have started a new thread " Zooman Dec 8 day UK tour 2015 " as flights are now booked :)
