Table is based on the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) member listings of UK animal attractions: https://biaza.org.uk/members/ 

For fair comparison with Whipsnade Zoo, the table does not include BIAZA members which are fundamentally different types of attraction, e.g. biomes, sanctuaries, aquariums, safari parks, farm parks, aviaries, or wetland centres.
