The 50-minute immersive experience uses 360-degree projections and natural-history footage, and more than 245,000 people saw it in London, organizers said.
- On Saturday, October 17, 2026, Chester Zoo will host the immersive production "Our Story with David Attenborough," marking the first venue outside London to host the full exhibition following its successful run at the Natural History Museum.
- More than 245,000 people attended the production in London since it opened in June 2025, created by Sir David Attenborough and Open Planet Studios to tell what creators describe as "the biggest story of all time."
- The 50-minute experience will transform the zoo's former Ape House using 17 projectors and 50 speakers with a score by Tony and Olivier Award-nominated composer Nick Powell.
- Chester Zoo Chief Operating Officer Dom Strange said the exhibition aligns with the 130-acre site's conservation mission: "That's at the heart of everything we do at Chester Zoo."
- Narrated by Sir David, the exhibition explores humanity's relationship with Earth and concludes with a message of hope, encouraging visitors to consider their own role in shaping the future.
