There are many zoos in the UK, big and small. Some are the largest zoos in the UK, where you can see tens of thousands of species of animals and plants; others will give you the opportunity to become an "animal breeder" and become close partners with small animals.
The following are the fun zoos in the UK, let's experience the charm of the "animal kingdom" together!

ZSL London Zoo is the oldest scientific zoo in the world - almost two hundred years old. Its collection is "the largest in the UK", and the richness and number of species are beyond the reach of other zoos. Moreover, its location is very close to central London, not as remote and desolate as other zoos.
There are nearly 800 species and 20,000 animals in the park, which are divided into more than a dozen special exhibition areas such as Land of Lions, Penguin Beach, Butterfly Paradise, and Into Africa. Each season, the zoo also hosts different special events.

3. Longleat Safari Park
Longleat Safari Park, not far from Bath Bath, is the UK's No. 1 safari park and the first African safari park established outside Africa.
Although Longleat's original plan to open the "African lion sanctuary" attracted a lot of doubts, the model of "animals walking freely and tourists watching in their cars" still attracted a large number of tourists.
Coupled with the splendor of the British aristocratic manor Longleat House (Longleat House) and a series of recreational facilities such as the nearby children's amusement park, Longleat Wildlife Park is still one of the most popular top wildlife parks in the UK.
