Zoos with tigers

My son loves Big cats, but especially tigers.
Where is best in the UK to see them? Bonus points if its easily accessed by public transport (considering a few days away so where is not necessarily a big deal).

Most zoos and safari parks have tigers, easy to go and see them.

Without the excellent conservation projects and breeding programmes zoos around the world have been engaged in for decades now, tigers and many other endangered species would be in a more precarious situation.

Im shocked by how many tigers there are in UK zoos. I had no idea.

Even more shocking is how few there are in the wild.

Most, if not all, zoos are as much about animal welfare and conservation as well as providing education and "entertainment" for the public.

Interestingly, YWP is home to the only polar bears in England and is the largest centre for them outside of Canada. It is also one of the world's leading centres for polar bear welfare and conservation.

My advice to anyone visiting YWP is to take some binoculars if you have some as the enclosure are huge.

No, I don't work for them but having it on our doorstep means that there is no need to travel to Chester zoo (except for elephants).
