Read our privacy policy There’s no shortage of zoos in the UK, with plenty of opportunities to hang out with the animal kingdom. Yes, the likes of Whipsnade and Chester are awesome and you’ll need at least a day to explore each, but some of the compact ones, such as Bristol, have been incredibly imaginative at making good use of space, making your day every bit as exciting. Paignton Zoo, for example, boasts 1,600 plant species and was one of the first places in Britain combining zoological and botanical gardens.
