    It's awful. The old one was better aesthetically and had a large list of species. Now it's just a fluff website with bare-bones info on species :mad:

    For anyone to lazy to Google it:

    Chester Zoo

    I don't look at this website much but it doesn't really look like it's changed?

    If you go on the Wayback machine about a year you could see the original design.

    Yep, its awful alright. Even if the content were outstanding, it looks infantile to me. Ah well, at least you may still access the world's worst zoo map.

    It doesn't look that different to me, although content-wise I think it may have got even worse. Here's a challenge: can anyone find anything about the history of the zoo without going to Google first?

    LOL. Only problem, Bing doesn't find anything (at least on the first five pages, which was where my patience ran out).
