We are pleased to announce that we have been recognised in Tripadvisor’s® Travellers’ Choice® Awards for 2025 as a Top-rated attraction in England and ranking among the top 10% of things to do worldwide!
“Congratulations to Colchester Zoological Society on its recognition in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards for 2025,” said Kristen Dalton, President, Tripadvisor.
“Ranking among the top percentage of businesses globally means you have made such a memorable impact on your visitors that many of them took time to go online and leave a glowing review about their experience. We hope this recognition continues to drive business to you in 2025 and beyond.”

As the world’s largest travel guidance platform, Tripadvisor has unparalleled authority with travellers and diners. Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award winners are among the top 10% of listings around the world on Tripadvisor. This award is based on genuine feedback from anyone in the community who has visited and left an authentic, first-hand review on Tripadvisor over a 12-month period, making it a valuable and trustworthy designation of travellers’ favourites.
“We would like to thank all of our dedicated visitors for their continued support. We are incredibly grateful for all of those who take the time to leave their feedback which not only helps others who may be planning a visit but also helps us to identify areas we can develop and improve. We strive to provide a first-class visitor experience to each and every one of our visitors, so an award like this is very much appreciated, especially since our transition to a charity earlier this year, Colchester Zoological Society. The support of our visitors is more important than ever before to ensure we can continue to care for wildlife and wild places worldwide.”– Melissa, Business Development Manager at Colchester Zoological Society.
