Have you ever wondered where you can see amazing animals from all over the world right here in the United Kingdom? The UK is home to many fantastic zoos and aquariums! These places are not just for fun; they also play a super important role in protecting animals and teaching us about wildlife.

Every zoo in the UK needs a special license from local authorities. This is required by a law called the Zoo Licensing Act 1981. Many of these zoos and aquariums are also part of a group called the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA). Being a BIAZA member means they follow high standards for animal care, conservation, and education.
