A POPULAR attraction at Colchester Zoo has been closed for cleaning.

The venue's indoor soft play Jungle Tumble will be shut this week due to annual maintenance and a "thorough" deep clean.

The site will be closed from Monday, September 16 to Friday, September 20.

Colchester Zoo has apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Jungle Tumble will also be closed from January 13 to January 17 and then again from January 20 to January 24. 

Typically each Jungle Tumble slot is 45 minutes long and as it is considered as a "very popular area of the zoo".
