Telford's zoo has been crowned as the fifth best in England to visit this bank holiday.
A study by Vape Superstore has investigated the 'highest rated' zoos in Europe, based on a combination of Tripadvisor and Google reviews, and the percentage of five star reviews given on Tripadvisor.
Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Telford has been named as the seventh best zoo in Europe, and fifth best in England, in the study that has been released ahead of August bank holiday to suggest what zoos are best to visit.
The Shropshire zoo has a Tripadvisor rating of 4.5 and Google rating of 4.6 stars.
The study also found that the percentage of five-star reviews on Tripadvisor was 81.3 per cent, and the zoo was given a total score of 90.40 by Vape Superstore - less than 13 from top spot.
Wild Zoological Park in Wolverhampton ranked on top with a total score of 103.1.
The study says highlights include its "spectacular bird shows and walk-throughs with the lemurs."
Ranking in second place is ZOO and Castle Zlin, in Zlin, Czechia before Wolds Wildlife Park in Horncastle.
The top five zoos in the UK - based on visitor ratings - according to the study are:
1. Wild Zoological Park (Wolverhampton)
2. Wolds Wildlife Park (Horncastle)
3. Wild Discovery (Preston)
4. BCA Zoo (Maidenhead)
