COLCHESTER Zoo is set to close at 3pm today due to the adverse weather.
The popular attraction issued a statement on its Facebook page this morning.
It states: "Due to adverse weather conditions we will be closing at an earlier time of 3pm today and Penguini's Restaurant is the only catering facility open.
"Whilst we have worked hard to clear and grit the pathways we would advise taking extra care walking around the park if you are planning to visit.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused but thank you for your understanding."
