Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards Winner for 2026

We are pleased to announce that we have been recognised in Tripadvisor’s® Travellers’ Choice® Awards for 2026, as a Top-rated attraction in England and ranking among the top 10% of things to do worldwide.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has visited CZS and taken the time to share their experience. Every review helps to gives us the opportunity to learn and grow, and to ensure that we can continue delivering a first-class experience for all our visitors.

This recognised award not only helps to highlight the first-class experience that we strive for but also provides the opportunity to recognise the hard work, passion, and dedication of the entire Colchester Zoological Society team. As a charity, we simply wouldn’t be able to protect wildlife and wild places without the support of our visitors. Whether through visits or donations, we are truly grateful to each and every one of you.”

– Amanda, Deputy Business Development and Marketing Officer at Colchester Zoological Society
