Popular children’s characters Bluey and Bingo are set to visit Colchester Zoo in Essex on April 25, 2026, to meet with families and young fans. The visit is expected to draw large crowds of local residents looking for a day out during the spring season.
The Colchester Zoological Society has confirmed that the pair will make several appearances at different times throughout the day. These greetings are included in the price of a standard entry ticket, and people who have a zoo pass can attend for free.
This event follows the zoo’s change to a registered charity in early 2025. Money from every visit now helps fund conservation work at the park and across the world, including the UmPhafa Nature Reserve in South Africa.
Visitors are being reminded that some areas of the park are currently closed for repairs. According to the Colchester Zoological Society, the Iguana Forest and the upper viewing section of the Kingdom of the Wild building are shut for maintenance.
Because these character events are popular and often reach full capacity, the zoo recommends that anyone who is not a passholder should buy their tickets online before they arrive. This will help ensure they can get into the zoo on the day of the visit.
