Family Fun Days: Top 5 Zoos in the UK!

If there’s one thing that most kids love, it’s a trip to the zoo.

With the February half term on the horizon, a visit to the zoo would be an ideal way to pass the time and, if you wish to incorporate it into a few days away in one of the UK’s top cities, you can! Here are five superb zoos in the UK for you to choose from. source.
