Last updated 24th Jun 2021
Colchester Zoo has been ranked in the top 15 zoos in the country.
That is according to Parkdean Resorts, which has created a ranking of UK BIAZA zoos based on entry fee, TripAdvisor reviews and range of animals on offer.
Colchester Zoo has claimed sixth spot.
It comes as some coronavirus restrictions have eased and people are now able to visit zoos again.
Nearly 50 per cent of zoos had to resort to crowdfunding in order to keep operating during lockdown.
Tilgate Nature Centre in West Sussex took first place, followed by Kirkleatham Owl Centre in North Yorkshire and Five Sisters Zoo in West Lothian.
Colchester Zoo has also been ranked the fourth best reviewed zoo, with 4,340 5* TripAdvisor reviews.
