Trip advisor has just named the UK's best zoo and it is not in London or Edinburgh but it holds 30,000 animals across 130 acres. Chester Zoo has been officially named the best zoo in the United Kingdom and the timing could not be better with summer holidays approaching and families across Britain starting to plan their days out. The zoo in Upton-by-Chester in Cheshire beat every other zoological park in the country to take the top spot and also earned a place in Europe's top 10 zoos and aquariums for 2026.
As reported by the Daily Mirror the ranking was determined by Tripadvisor based on genuine visitor reviews. Chester Zoo accumulated 11,666 excellent ratings on the platform making it the clear winner by the measure that matters most which is what people who actually visit think of the experience.
